Abstract
An aerodynamic motor mount assembly enhances air flow through an air impeller by providing support members that serve the dual purpose of concentrically mounting the air impeller into a housing, and stabilizing air flow being pulled through the air impeller. The air impeller comprises rotatable blades that are defined by a frontal plane, across which air is pulled through as the blades rotate. The impelled air flow engages a substantial portion of the support members before passing through the air impeller in a linear air flow continuum. The coplanar positioning of the support members relative to the blades, the aerodynamic surfaces and edges of the support members, and the radial disposition of the support members, work to direct the air across the frontal plane of the blades. The air flow engages the support members before passing through the air impeller in a linear air flow continuum, which reduces air turbulence.
