Abstract: A ceiling fan system that includes a motor/blade assembly that may include a motor, a main rotor attached to the motor, and a plurality of blades attached to the main rotor. A plurality of hoods may partially enclose the motor/blade assembly. The plurality of hoods may include an intake nozzle hood acting as an air inlet and an outlet surface hood with an aerodynamic surface. The profile of the hoods is designed so that the resulting flow from the blades produces a flow pattern controlled by the aerodynamic shape of the hoods.
