Filed:

Sep 30, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/250792

Inventors:

William Conley - Long Beach CA, US
Rodger Thomason - Santa Monica CA, US
Ricardo Lopez - Fontana CA, US

International Classification:

F04D 29/36

US Classification:

416 1, 416143

Abstract:

A rotating fan with a transmission mechanism and a blade deployment mechanism. In an energized state, an electromagnetic coil generates a magnetic force that causes a clutch plate to be in contact with a contact surface, thereby engaging a planetary gear system. In a de-energized state, the clutch plate is not in contact with the contact surface, thereby disengaging the planetary gear system. In a deployed configuration, a drive link activated by the planetary gear system rotates a blade link to cause a fan blade to pivot. The result is that the fan blade tip is farther from the motor shaft than the fan blade root. In a retracted configuration, the drive link rotates the blade link to cause the fan blade to pivot and retract. The result is that the fan blade tip is equidistant from the motor shaft as the fan blade root.
