		The Gossamer Wind fan got its start in the fall of 1996, when FSEC researchers set out to improve three areas of current ceiling fan design: the blades, the controls, and the motor.
		Because the Emerson CF705 and the 52-inch Gossamer Wind prototype have the same size motor, the fact that the Gossamer outperformed the Emerson was due solely to the efficiency of its propeller blades.
		The low-speed performance of the Hunter fan approaches that of the Gossamer Wind prototype (see Table 1) because the Hunter's highly pitched blades produce air flow that is highest toward the edge of the blade tips, which encompasses a larger area.
