A convertible ducted fan engine and mounting system. The convertible ducted fan engine has a shroud encircling a mechanical fan. The convertible ducted fan engine includes a fluid-propulsion configuration in which the mechanical fan rotates freely with respect to the shroud to produce thrust through fluid flow, and a drive-wheel configuration in which the shroud rotates about the rotational axis. The mounting system includes at least one gimbal ring and may include a circular track system thereby enabling the convertible engine to be oriented in any direction.

A self-rotation graphene heat-dissipation device for a direct-drive electro-hydrostatic actuator, that includes inner and outer walls of a shell eccentrically arranged relative to each other, the shell sleeves on an outer side of a self-rotation mechanism. The self-rotation mechanism is arranged on an outer side of a shaft; the shaft is coaxial with the inner wall of the shell and connected with outer and inner end covers. The self-rotation mechanism includes a rotor and blades, the rotor sleeves on the shaft and is connected with the outer and inner end covers. The rotor is slidably connected with the blades, and outer walls of the blades are closely attached to the inner wall of the shell. Graphene heat-dissipation layers are coated on outer walls of all of the shell, blades, the rotor, the inner and outer end covers respectively.

A condenser fan includes a lock hub and multiple blades that are fastened to the hub. Each of the blades includes six planes, each of which having variable parameters including pitch angle, sickle, chord length, and blade curve. For each embodiment of the evaporator fan, the blades are identically configured.

A tower fan is provided that includes a fan body having a double cross fan blower centered in the body of the fan with a motor positioned between the fan blowers in the center of the fan body. The tower fan is capable of being oriented in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The fan body may further include first and second ends and at least two supports. At least a first support is coupled to the first end of the fan body and a second support is removably coupled to the least second end of the fan body. The first and second ends of the fan body each have a groove for each receiving at least one of the at least two support members where each groove extends entirely around the fan body. The at least two supports may both be removably coupled to the fan body or one of the at least two supports may be permanently coupled to the first end of the fan body.

Disclosed is a fan. The fan includes a support; a first motor installed on the support, the first motor having a first rotation shaft; a first blade installed on the first rotation shaft; a second motor installed on the support, the second motor having a second rotation shaft and being coaxial with the first motor; a second blade installed on the second rotation shaft, a tilt direction of the second blade being opposite to a tilt direction of the first blade; and an electric control board electrically connected to the first motor and the second motor and configured to control a relative rotation of the first motor and the second motor.

The invention relates to a fluid pump comprising at least one impeller blade (1, 1′, 1″) which is rotatable about an axis of rotation (3) and conveys a fluid in operation and comprising a support device (4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 12′, 13, 13′, 14, 14′, 15, 17) which supports the at least one impeller blade (1, 1′, 1″) in at least one support region, wherein the support device is change-able between a first state in which the rotor is radially compressed and a second state in which the rotor is radially expanded; and wherein at least one impeller blade extends at least partly radially inwardly with respect to the axis of rotation (3) from the support region/support regions in the radially expanded state of the rotor.

A fan wheel (1) has a bottom disc (4), a cover disc (3) and impeller blades (2) arranged around a rotation axis (RA) of the fan wheel (1). The blades, in each case, extend over a blade length from a blade leading edge (5) to a blade trailing edge (6). The impeller blades (2) are divided into a front section (10), rear section (12) and transition section (11). The front section (10), extends proceeding from the blade leading edge (5) in the direction of the blade trailing edge (6). The rear section (12) extends proceeding from the blade trailing edge (6), in the direction of the blade leading edge (5). The transition section (11) forms a transition between the front section (10) and the rear section (12). The impeller blades (2) are formed with opposite curvature in the course from the bottom disc (4) to the cover disc (3) in the front section (10) and the rear section (12).

A temperature destratification assembly can include an outer housing. An impeller can be positioned within the outer housing between the inlet and outlet of the outer housing. The impeller can have an impeller hub and a plurality of impeller blades extending radially outward from the impeller hub. The assembly can include an impeller motor configured to rotate the impeller blades about an axis of rotation. A stator can be positioned within the outer housing between the impeller and the outlet of the outer housing. The stator can include a plurality of vanes. The stator vanes can include an upstream edge at the upstream end of the stator, a first surface extending from the upstream edge to the downstream edge of the vane, and a second surface opposite the first surface and extending from the upstream edge to the downstream edge of vane. A plurality of the vanes can have a downstream edge at the outlet of the outer housing.
