A conventional pedestal fan blows in such a direction that when it's

then fan around, so that the blades would be much closer to the window.
I considered simply building a duct, but the cost of materials was
excessive.
I guess you didn't consider cardboard and packing tape then 
or a cheap plastic bucket?
The fan is too big for a plastic bucket. I considered cardboard but it
was far from clear to me that it was going to be strong enough without
bracing that would further complicate the task.
This isn't a research project. I was looking for a solution that would
definitely work, and be robust.

Would this work?
