  • Publication number: 20210371081
    Abstract: Various embodiments are described of an unmanned aerial vehicle having a wing. The unmanned aerial vehicle includes a first body of the wing with a first end proximate a body of the vehicle. A second end is opposite the first end. A first joint is on the first end of the first main body of the wing. The joint rotatably couples the wing to the vehicle. A second joint is on the second end of the vehicle. A second body of the wing is rotatably coupled to the first body via the second joint.

  • Patent number: 7210910
    Abstract: Twisted ceiling fan blades for low, medium and high speed operation of less than approximately 250 rpm. The novel blades twisted blades can be configured for 60? and 64? diameter fans, and have less blades (3 for example) than conventional flat type bladed fans having 4, 5 blades and have greater air flow and less power draw results than the conventional flat 54 inch fans. Any of the novel twisted blades of 54?, 60? and 64? can be run at reduced speeds, drawing less Watts than conventional fans and still perform better with more air flow and less problems than conventional flat type conventional blades.

  • Patent number: 6659721
    Abstract: Ceiling fan blades for maximizing air flow at operational speeds of up to approximately 200 revolutions per minute(rpm). The blades have a positive twist at the tip ends of approximately 5 degrees to approximately 10 degrees parallel to the ceiling. The root end of the blades closest to the motor can have a positive twist exceeding that of the tip end and can be approximately 20 to approximately 35 degrees parallel to the ceiling. The ceiling fans can have individual blade lengths of approximately 20 inches and overall spans of up to approximately 52 inches and up to approximately 54 inches. Each embodiment can use three, four, and five blades, with the blades being made of injection molded plastic. and the like. The embodiments can include built in light kit domes.

  • Patent number: 6039541
    Abstract: Ceiling fan blades for low speed fan operation. The blades have a positive twist at the root motor portion of the blade and a slightly twisted rounded tip. The chord of the blades taper down from the root to the rounded tip, and have a tapered airfoil from the aft forward aft edge to the trailing edge. The airfoil has a combination of a rounded leading edge with sharp trailing edge, and a square leading edge and rounded trailing edge. The blades can be twenty inches in length and twenty-six inches in length, and be used in ceiling fans having two, three, four or more blades in a ceiling mount. The ceiling fan blades are optimized to operate in ceiling fans running at low speed ranges of approximately 50 to approximately 200 revolutions per minute(rpm) with an enhanced axial airflow which provide substantial energy savings and increased air flow over conventional flat planar ceiling fan blades.
