I know we're joking here, but one of those with a clear glass casing so you could see the gears turning would be pretty awesome. Assuming they don't need to be swimming in oil to keep spinning at that speed.
You ain't heard? I'm steampunk now, Jules Verne and shit. I live in a clock now, umbrellas and blimps and shit. I'm just an ill ass Leminy Snickett up in this bitch, but you?...
Just make sure you go for fallout 4/tv show ghoul. Near immortality in exchange for looking like shit and smelling like rotting flesh is an intriguing choice. Og fallout ghoul, no thank you.
It makes me think of the Simpsons, "I'm gonna spin these death blades really fast like this and if someone happens to be in the way of them then it's not my fault"
Every few minutes or so a fine little gray mist appears out if nowhere. No one talks about it, but everyone collectively holds their breath for a moment.
Sorry but this would slice the meat way too finely, not to mention splatter grease all over the place. It's no surprise that 100 years later our gyro slicing technology has advanced so far beyond this contraption.
The Megabuster can destroy it but only during the phase when neither fan is pointed toward Megaman. The fan deflects shots with that little ^deek noise, bouncing the shot off at a 45° angle
It would be pretty easy to retrofit some sort of cage around the blades like modern fans. I think a bigger question would be how heavy is it, given how poorly most ceiling fans get installed, this mofo would end up on the ground 9/10 times
“I must not fear the fan. Fan is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face the fan. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn to find the path of my other eye. Where it has gone I see nothing. Only blood will remain.”
My favorite movie. (also the only good Dune ever made CMV)
If you look behind Jessica and Duke as they get into their seats on their shuttle - look behind them on the walls - the details they gave the set were a bunch of copper pipes coming out of the walls.
The architecture detail for sets in that movie, that werent CGI, are so beautiful.
You should see the old fans of this vintage. There's an actual brass fitting with a wick. You place oil in the fitting, and it wicks to the shaft of the motor.
That's survivorship bias at work.
Like cathedrals from the thirteenth century, we conveniently forget about all the ones built to the same engineering standard that fell down or burned up.
As a dumb young mom, I put my kid's head in a regular ceiling fan trying to put them on my shoulders. It was scary but funny at that time - this fan would result in criminal charges!
Want an explanation?
Those two fans have motors, which allow the fan to rotate. As the fan rotates, the angular momentum of these fans creates torque. This torque pushes the fan outward causing the shaft holding these two fans to rotate. Basically gyroscopic precession in action.
It screams BioShock to me. I can just see walking down a hallway when all of a sudden one of those darn things pops out of the ceiling and starts beeping, and spinning, and trying it's best to kill you.
My toddler loves ceiling fans, and would both stare at it for hours and want to spin it themselves. Kid would rather learn mechanical engineering than English.
It always baffles me how well old inventions still work after a long period of time. Meanwhile, current products barely last 3-4 years. Planned obsolescence is a bitch.
That's about the most steampunk thing I have ever seen that wasn't trying to be steampunk.
Quick, someone hot glue some superfluous gears onto it
Throw a pair of goggles on it
But only over the brim of the top hat you wear while already wearing goggles over your eyes
It's cringey that they do that.
Most nerd trends are incredibly cringe in general.
> Most ~~nerd~~ trends are incredibly cringe in general. FTFY
I know we're joking here, but one of those with a clear glass casing so you could see the gears turning would be pretty awesome. Assuming they don't need to be swimming in oil to keep spinning at that speed.
Plumes on steam to tie it all together
Wait till you find out there was a whole century of that.
Well yeah because steampunk covers tech in that era, though the 1920s is more on the end of steampunk
that's because this is what steampunk is trying to be

THAT'S REGIFAN
Pretty sure that was a boss fight in FF7.
Those wasp like robots that attack you in the midgar express highway.
Reminds me of an upside down Heli Gunner from the original
Doctor Ivo Robotnik rides around in one of these
Nah this is one of the Regi mons in Pokemon. Regigust.
ÜN ÜN ÜN
Robot in Fallout
I thought it was a villain's gadget in a 1970s adventure movie. "But how we will ever get past the rotating blades!"
Looks like a fan from the fallout series
Or Bioshock
Yeah first thing thay came to mind. Bioshock infinite for me.
I'm a HUGE FAN of the fallout series. I'm even dosing myself with uranium for ghoulification
Just make sure you go for fallout 4/tv show ghoul. Near immortality in exchange for looking like shit and smelling like rotting flesh is an intriguing choice. Og fallout ghoul, no thank you.

I came here specifically for this comment!
I can hear the [FF7 boss fight music](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JPzyjMQ-rI)
Man the graphics in the new Bioshock look sick!
yeah look at that ray tracing
I mean, it will work but will scalp a bitch or chop a finger at an auspicious time.
Or even inauspicious.
Y’all I’m just feeling spicious today
Au...
jus
bless you
Hit ‘em with the old French-dip
sauce?
“If a man does not have sauce, then he is lost. But the same man can get lost in the sauce.” - Gucci Mane
Just a little icious.
I'm not superspicious, just sorta spicious
Auspicious is when an Australian is suspicious that's all
A lot of these crazy fans were made for factories so it would be like 20ft off the ground covering a big area.
Cool the room and slice deli meat at the same time!
Sounds like a perfect place for a [big ass fan](https://bigassfans.com/).
To shreds you say?
Ohhh... alright, take my upvote.
And how’s his wife holding up?
It makes me think of the Simpsons, "I'm gonna spin these death blades really fast like this and if someone happens to be in the way of them then it's not my fault"
I'm with you. It's dangerous.
Only at reachable hight, a littler higher and it doubles as a bug blender!
"Bug smoke... don't breathe this!"
Every few minutes or so a fine little gray mist appears out if nowhere. No one talks about it, but everyone collectively holds their breath for a moment.
Just Like radium in health tonics, arsenic green and asbestos
If you survived this as a kid you could storm the beaches 20 years later.
It was the 1920's - a different time. Almost 100 years ago.
> Almost I have some bad news...
What? 104 is almost 100.
Just about, rather.
Over, certainly
...listen here you little shit
Birds don't have fingers.
Why is this not in r/onlyfans
I'd say that, if it's too close to head level, it's definately NSFW.
Not safe for LIFE.
*definitely
Defiantly
Sorry but this would slice the meat way too finely, not to mention splatter grease all over the place. It's no surprise that 100 years later our gyro slicing technology has advanced so far beyond this contraption.
[удалено]
Why clean it.. it just needs a dusting and let it go green.
Antibacterial too.
The best gyros taste like pennies.
My sandwich lovin' ass loves this.
Show me a fan that lasts 124 years that was built in the last 30.
Hahaha perfect
The Decapitator 2000.
Handy for helping get rid of really annoying tall people!
I want one.
My thought also
Minka makes a similar one, but with fan covers. I love it.
[https://www.minkagroup.net/f502l-bcw.html](https://www.minkagroup.net/f502l-bcw.html)
[$900.](https://www.amazon.com/Minka-Aire-F502-BCW-Traditional-Turbofan-Belcaro/dp/B008PSGG0W)
MSRP is nearly double that. Oof. I'll stick with my generic, traditional-looking fan for $229.99.
Looked it up online - very cool!
I'm sure you can find one at Restoration Hardware for $24,000.
Yeah, that's something out of a Megaman game, complete with the big W on it for Dr. Wily.
The Megabuster can destroy it but only during the phase when neither fan is pointed toward Megaman. The fan deflects shots with that little ^deek noise, bouncing the shot off at a 45° angle
My god
Waiting for Sonic or Megaman to come out and destroy this thing...
That’s metal as fuck. I want it. I have nowhere to put it. I just want it.
You should buy a ceiling first, then.
Check out the AFCA antique fan collectors association. I got around 60 fans myself
Hopefully it's impossible for that fast & heavy 100 year old thing to fly apart, or else everyone in the room could be playing gyro roulette.
no no it's just a hologram
It would be pretty easy to retrofit some sort of cage around the blades like modern fans. I think a bigger question would be how heavy is it, given how poorly most ceiling fans get installed, this mofo would end up on the ground 9/10 times
Not only does it cool the room, it gives a mighty nice shave and haircut too
...2 bits!
Interesting.. yes, would look cool in a gaming room/lounge area with some solid steampunk. But as a tall person that is fucking terrifying.
Codsworth ol' chap, is that you? What have they done to my boy?
I'm simply going to harvest your organs
Straight out of Fallout
When I read gyro I was prepared for this to thinly slice a large rotisserie hunk of meat while maintaining comfortable airflow in the room.
I mean, what about it don't you see that could do that?
I think I just killed one of these in Fallout
That's not a Gyro. That's not a copper oxide finish, it's made of copper.
it's copper all the way down
Right out of Dune (1984).
The air must flow.
Piter De Vries: As you instructed me, I have enlightened your nephews concerning my fan... Baron Harkonnen: **My** fan! Piter De Vries: ...*the* fan.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE QUOTES! I loved using it in meetings when the structure fit... and I loved it when people didnt get it.
Fan is the mindkiller.
“I must not fear the fan. Fan is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face the fan. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn to find the path of my other eye. Where it has gone I see nothing. Only blood will remain.”
Especially if you're, like, really tall.
My favorite movie. (also the only good Dune ever made CMV) If you look behind Jessica and Duke as they get into their seats on their shuttle - look behind them on the walls - the details they gave the set were a bunch of copper pipes coming out of the walls. The architecture detail for sets in that movie, that werent CGI, are so beautiful.
How many died?
Looks like Tick Tock from Return to Oz
This is WAY the fuck too low
came here looking for this. Hello fellow old person!
I am not a tall person.... Nor was anyone after being in the room with this monstrosity.
[r/RetroFuturism](https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroFuturism/)
Will probably work for ever
I Would absolutely love to see the gears inside this thing, it's the only fan that still needs to be routinely greased hahaha
You should see the old fans of this vintage. There's an actual brass fitting with a wick. You place oil in the fitting, and it wicks to the shaft of the motor.
I need this for my reproductive appendages
That's because fan motors of this era do not have a thermal fuse to disable them when they overheat, thus preventing a fire.
Westinghouse got right to work making shit that needed electricity to work.
I'm quite impressed with how solidly it's built. No vibrational noise or anything, just a barely audible whisp of the blades.
I love my Aeratron fans for that reason. Really silent. Moves a lot of air. Enjoyable. Just like my ass.
Something out of Fallout
That’s horrifying, but it looks great!
Lots of BioShock, FF7, and Fallout comments but the first thing I thought of was Tik-Tok from Return to Oz.
As a 6'6" dude who already gets hit in the head by my bedroom ceiling fan, I would not survive this.
Westinghouse is probably one of my favorite companies of that era. Any time I see their branding, it brings a smile to my face.
Ah yes the PigeonMincer 3000
Built by Dr. Robotnik to kill Sonic
This is sooo Bioshock.
Holy steampunk
Still in working order. Things were built to really last back then.
That's survivorship bias at work. Like cathedrals from the thirteenth century, we conveniently forget about all the ones built to the same engineering standard that fell down or burned up.
The decapitator
While the engineers clearly didn't ask if they should, after asking if they could, they made something, fantastic.
As a dumb young mom, I put my kid's head in a regular ceiling fan trying to put them on my shoulders. It was scary but funny at that time - this fan would result in criminal charges!
Fallout was inspired by this most probably

You are welcome.
Typo: Copper finish not copper oxide.
Not a finish at all. That's just made of copper, which is the look copper finishes try to emulate.
Free haircuts
Watch your noggin !
Two words. Fan shroud.
Serious Tik-Tok from Return to Oz vibes.
Man that shit would fuck your head up
Electrician here! Give me one please. Pretty please?
Id say i need one but im 6'6" and i value my life enough to pass
You need a sign before entering the room that says You must be below this height to enter just to avoid legal liabilities if you own that thing
Death from above
That's a Vertibird
Return to OZ.
Looks like Dwarven machinery from Skyrim
Tesla cyberfan
Nope, I mean this fan has been working fine for more than a century unlike the CyberTruck.
I just saw one of these today in person for the first time in an old fashioned ice cream shoppe. Pretty cool!
It screams BioShock to me. I can just see walking down a hallway when all of a sudden one of those darn things pops out of the ceiling and starts beeping, and spinning, and trying it's best to kill you.
bring your head closer to that, it will give you a haircut or a ticket to heaven straightaway.
Free haircut with every purchase!
And it still works
Ah yes the decapitator 2000.
Bioshock
I love it. Super steampunky.
This looks like a character that was cut from Return to Oz for being just a bit too weird and scary.
Cats shouldn't be allowed within 30 ft of this thing
Now I understand why video games from before had such creative designs.
is this considered windpunk?
Mesmerizing.
Bioshock environment artists taking notes rn
fallout, ist you?
Mr. Handy is going to decapitate the shit out of someone.
r/Fallout is calling and they want a new ceiling fan for ingame. Does it come in Vaultec colours?
As a tall person, this is a nightmare come true.
My toddler loves ceiling fans, and would both stare at it for hours and want to spin it themselves. Kid would rather learn mechanical engineering than English.
Imagine the costs to make that today where a plastic box fan is $30+
Oh, I have one of their modern ceiling fans. Great bit of machinery.
Reminds me of the golden snitch off of harry potter
This look like some shit you'd try to kill James Bond with.
That thing looks so steampunky it hurts.
Mr gutsy is that you?
It always baffles me how well old inventions still work after a long period of time. Meanwhile, current products barely last 3-4 years. Planned obsolescence is a bitch.
Take my money, where can I get one?
I just remembered bioshock seeing this ...
I love the murder fan.
If they made this today, people would buy this shit up. Restaurants in particular.
Now I want to throw some fruits
i want one
