A fan includes a hub and a plurality of blades extending radially outwardly from the hub and spaced circumferentially about the hub. The plurality of blades includes a reference blade, a first blade, and a second blade. The reference blade is disposed after the first blade in a circumferential direction about the hub. The second blade is disposed after the reference blade in the circumferential direction. The first blade is circumferentially spaced a first distance from the reference blade. The second blade is circumferentially spaced a second distance from the reference blade. The first distance is greater than the second distance.

Fan for handheld blower

An axial blower includes a fan, housing, and intake grate. The fan has a rotational axis. The housing surrounds the fan. The housing includes an inlet, fluid intake volume, outlet, and battery interface. The inlet is disposed at a position along the rotational axis upstream of the fan. The fluid intake volume is upstream of the inlet. The outlet is disposed at a position along the rotational axis downstream of the fan. The distal projection extends away from the inlet in an upstream direction. The battery interface is coupled to the distal projection, upstream of the inlet, and suspends a battery pack in the fluid intake volume. The intake grate is positioned between the fluid intake volume and the inlet. The intake grate permits fluid flow between the fluid intake volume and the inlet. The fluid intake volume is unobstructed between the battery interface and the intake grate.
