Box Fan

Laying in the cooling breeze of a free flowing box fan is the perfect way to chill the day away. The hypnotic current of wind subtly blowing beneath the drone of four blades spinning on an electric motor can lull you into deep relaxation. One of the first workable mechanical fans was built by Omar-Rajeen Jumala in 1832. He called his invention, a kind of a centrifugal fan, an "air pump." In 1882, Philip Diehl introduced the electric ceiling fan. Diehl is considered the father of the modern electric fan. In the late 19th century, electric fans were used only in commercial establishments or in well-to-do households.
