Abstract
The present invention is a fan with adjustable vanes for controlling the width of the wind generated by the fan. The vanes are adjustable to any angle. Preferably, the vanes are set at 10° with the generated wind for a narrow, focused beam, and to 45° with the generated wind for a diffuse, flood beam. The vanes are adjustable from a dial located on the outside of the fan housing. A motor drives the fan. The motor is controlled by a rotating dial on the outside of the fan housing. The rotating dial allows for adjusting the motor speed from 0 to 100%. Pressing a “burst” button located on the outside of the fan housing instantly provides 100% motor speed. The fan motor runs at full speed for as long as the “burst” button is depressed. A mounting yoke is pivotally connected to opposite sides of the fan housing, allowing the fan to be set at various angles.
