Low speed , it is quiet, higher speed , rattles, I balanced the wobble
out of it years ago, have a 18" down shaft on the fan, checked the blades,
pushed up and down on the fan blades, arms, in the center of the motor
and have the play there.

Axial play shouldn't cause rattle. Even on high, the shaft/blade assy
shouldn't create enough lift to bob up and down.

Check for bent blade arms. If one is at a different height or angle,
it will cause problems at higher RPMs. Have you tried rebalancing it
lately? Self-adhesive lead weights have a habit of flying off when
you're not looking, or when being dusted. DAMHIKT.

Or when you and the misses play Strip Club and her garments get hung
up in the ceiling fan....been there...ah...never mind

I've never had a strong enough ceiling fan over my bed with which to
play "Spin the Petite Girl", but I've fondly thought of it often.

Whistlin' and grinnin', I'll bet.

A friend of mine actually rigged up a slow motion rotator rigged to a
beefed up ceiling . In his "den". Its used with a modified bosons
seat. Some ladies love it..others...shrug. It rotates and lifts and
falls via a rather ingenious remote control system. And several
servos. About as complex as a RC airplane..but upsized to handle a

Pretty cool.


significant dynamic...very dynamic ... weight of at least 400 lbs.

I can't imagine entertaining a 200# lady friend, let alone 400. Ick!

Dynamic load. A 110lb sweety bouncing hard! can provide 400 lbs of

Grok that.


stress. Id NOT ever want to see anyone over 180 on that swing...the
wobbeling and jiggeling and the waves of floppy tissue oozing
around...grim dude..really really grim.

My thoughts exactly.


I rather doubt the engineers at Yaskawa had any idea of this
application for their servo amps....chuckle

He is quite a technical freak and has a Sybian and a St Charles Cross
and all manner of other interesting gadgets. I had to fix the Sybians
wiring for him at a party one night. . Seems one of the ladies had
ripped off the remote control during a moment or a dozen (or more)
moments of passion.

Of course all the ladies here had to try it out. Now I have a
blanket request for one..but **** they are expensive!!! I may have to
build one.

Where would you keep it? No room in your zoo right now, wot?
(condolences, BTW)

Sybians? They are small enough to keep in the bottom of the closet.

No, the zoo (your extended family living there) would preclude you
from having the space or privacy to utilize the toys with your new
friends.
