THERE IS NO MALL IN CHAPEL HILL

10/18/2007 11:56:38 PM

you really dont want that

the chain noise will be loud and drive you nuts

direct drive ftw

10/18/2007 11:57:25 PM

thats some hardcore cooling

10/18/2007 11:58:06 PM

i'm cool with it... no joke i'm even down with maintenance.

i mean i sorta play with fans as a job but i really think that would be cool

fans don't cool they stir/heat if anything

by fans do you mean penis?

10/18/2007 11:59:56 PM

^^ yeah

it is a little known fact that fans actually heat up a room

but i just think this is a bad idea

i'm sure i could convert it to a belt drive or something... i just like pretty metal pulleys.

i figured this thread would suck as soon as i read the words "chapel hill", but i gave it a chance.


i should have gone with my gut feeling on this one.

then why does my living room get so cold when the overhead fan is on? :\

now its killing me to know what mall is this guy talking about or what place in chapel hill is he talking about since theres never been a mall in chapel hill...

10/19/2007 12:28:11 AM

if im not mistaken, you are talking about the fans at "The streets of southpoint"


iirc, they are belt drive, with what appeared to be leather (just sayin). you can definitely see the joined part of the start/end of the belt.

10/19/2007 12:28:11 AM

^^^^ indeed

this is correct

there are some cool looking fans in the food court

not to mention the whole food court looks cool

10/19/2007 12:29:05 AM

a quick google search netted a similar fan



if not nearly the same model

morrisville?

southpoint?

northgate?

10/19/2007 12:26:03 PM

^^that seems completely unnecessary

10/19/2007 12:28:43 PM

why put extra shit to break in there just because it looks cool?

you feel cold because of evaporative cooling

^^^^University Mall is in Chapel Hil......

I always liked the fans at Stool Pigeons. They just wave back and forth like the old ones that were powered by slaves. Not very efficient, but they look awesome.

10/19/2007 2:18:36 PM

On a related note, anyone ever notice the fan in the beginning of irobot? They probably have had them for a while but I thought it was odd to have a fan with one blade and a counterweight.

10/19/2007 2:27:30 PM

I saw an episode of Monster House where they gave a guy a NASCAR house and all of the ceiling fans ran off of one motor and a bunch of engine belts.

Possibly the most redneck thing ever.
