Thank you for commenting.

It's a cool looking fan, for those that look upward that is.

Not as much function as first impressions would give.

I have seen overhead fans installed on exterior porches to keep mosquitos away with moving air.

I imagine that these fans struggle with natures breezes and microclimate conditions of being next to a building and under an overhang.

Under these conditions a tubercle fan may actually provide an advantage, but again I would need to see some sort of testing information before drawing a strong opinion.
