This ceiling fan features a DC motor which, contrary to regular AC motors, uses significantly less energy to keep the fan rotating. Whilst some energy is used to accelerate the fan from stationary to active, or between speeds, once the fan has established a speed it becomes much more energy-efficient. Special magnets in the motor keep the fan rotating with very little energy expenditure. You could save upwads of $50 in energy costs over the course of a year by using this futuristic new ceiling fan technology, compared to traditional AC-motor fans.

• Fan rotates clockwise to push warm air down (for winter warming) and anticlockwise to draw warm air up (for summer cooling)
• Alternating Current (AC) motors use a steel/aluminum rotor and copper windings on the stator that when energized creates an electromagnet.
• The AC current is necessary so the poles of the electromagnet frequently change causing the rotor and stator to repel each other which causes the motor to spin.
• Creating this electromagnet uses a lot of energy. More copper can be added to increase power but also reduces efficiency.
• Direct Current (DC) fans also included magnets to help create the necessary magnetic field to spin the rotor. This means less electric energy is necessary. This also means less copper windings are necessary to create the same amount of power.
• Engineered with Integral Electronic Drivers. Converts AC to DC. Control the Fan's Speed by Reducing Input Voltage. Coordinates and Aligns the Location of Magnets in Relationship to Coils.
• Less Copper Windings than traditional "AC" motor models
• Same Motor Torque as AC Models Using 70% Less Energy Consumption.
• DC Fans are estimated to be 4 x as efficient in moving the air than an AC fan at high-speed, 8 x as efficient at medium speed, and 30 x as efficient at low speed.
• Estimated annual Energy Savings of a DC fan versus an AC fan = $45.23 (comparison based on data from http://wwww.energystar.gov)
