    Maybe it sounds a'ight, but this is flawed concept from an audio perspective.


    Speakers work by moving air, converting an electrical signal into the physical motion of a driver that creates waves of ear-friendly air. Disturbing the motion of the air set in motion by the speaker with fan blades distorts the audio. You could test this by putting any fan in front of a speaker and turning it on - the waves of air set in motion by the speaker would be disturbed. So a soundfield emanating from a speaker installed in the middle of a fan would likely be subject to all sorts of disruption by competing air waves from the fan itself.


    That said, whoever uses this isn't going for high-fidelity, but probably more of a musaky backtround kind of thing, and would probably be more delighted at the gadgety convenience of it than disturbed by the less-than-stellar audio anomaly of one air moving source undermining another.

    I'm sure they'll be showing off their internet connected fan with LCD screen at CES2010.

    But will it blend...sound...into your room? Or will it sound like you're talking into a fan?

    Why does this remind me of when I was little and threw toys in my fan just to see how far across the room they would get thrown?

    @2001: A Space Odyssey: A couple of friends of mine had ferrets, and kept a box (think office moving box) full of ping pong balls. One day while I was there, I got bored and chucked one into the path of the blades, batting across the house with a ferret in hot pursuit. About five minutes later the ferrets were bored but all of us in the house were scattered around the livingroom trying to hit each other with ping pong balls via the ceiling fan. It looked like an episode of Captain Kangaroo.

    The only sound that's going to come out of that is "Whoomp-Whoomp-Whoomp-Whoomp-Whoomp-Whoomp-Whoomp!"

    All the dust coming off the fan blades can not be good for a speaker.

    @Curves: Hmm, maybe one could clean the blades regularly so the dust doesn't build up in the first place?

    @ionerox: The dust is in the air that comes off the blades, not on the blades themselves.
