IT SMOL!

I need you to sit on my seat for this one. This is my first and only(for the moment) National F-560A1. In this video, this fan is operating with its original fan blade that has seen the angle grinder stubby treatment.

Before you point pitchforks at me for chopping down a perfect Matsushita ceiling fan blade, I need to set the scene. Ever since I bought this fan, I've found 2 other bladesets for it. One was from Ponten, and one was from an abandoned kiosk. Both those aforementioned blades didn't have their motors, so I treat them as spares. The blades that came with my first 560A1 were bent & out of alignment, while the other 2 blades are perfectly straight. With that in mind, plus from me wanting to own more 36" ceiling fans, I decided to let my intrusive thoughts win and chop off the bent up blades to make a smaller fan. The cut-offs from this blade is currently used as a vital component in one of my biggest projects so far, which you'll see later on.

Now I'm left with a 36" diameter bladeset, but the motor is still rated to drive 56" blades. It reached peak RPM on speed 3 when I first tested it, so to maximize the untapped potential which is the now overpowered motor, I cranked the blade pitch way up. you can't really see it from a distance, but up close it's quite evident that the pitch has been tinkered, as the proportions are now a bit off. Well of course the whole thing is proportionally off as now the whole contraption looks fat & stubby.

As far as I know, Matsushita never marketed any of their 36" industrial ceiling fans here, at least after Indonesia switched to 220V. I've seen Japanese variants of this fan in YouTube, check this video out if you don't believe me: (    • パナソニックシーリングファン8   ). They have the previous generation insane pitch blades, and those fans have basically evaded my purchasing power ever since I started collecting ceiling fans. Anyways, because of that, I feel like 36" Matsushita industrials are something of a forbidden fruit for me. One day I had a very strong urge to own one, so instead of scouring markets all over the globe, I chose the easier route which was making one myself!

I have absolutely no regrets in making this fan. At first I hated the stubby look, but it quickly grew on me! The oversized motor coupled with the ridiculously short shallow pitch blades gives it a chubby baby vibe, in a good way. Performance isn't disappointing either, it's about as strong as my SMC K36M.

And of course I had to screw on the motor cover from an EY149 on it to see how it looks. I bet you've never seen a 36" National F-EY099 before!
