kerosene fan

First introduced to the market around 1907 and produced for almost two decades, this fan was created by Carl Jost

The way this fan works is that it uses a Stirling hot air engine to move the fan blades. The operation of a Stirling engine is not complicated. Internal combustion is usually used in the Stirling engine to produce thermal energy. In kerosene fans, an energy source is installed at the bottom that produces heat to drive the engine using the pistons and rotates the fan blades at a constant speed, and make the air flow.

Kerosene fans were very effective in areas that did not have access to electricity.
