An-IDEA-a-DAY: Wobble-Fan

Inspired by the bladeless Dyson fans, this cylindrical 'wobble-able' fan has 2 air-blowing compartments that would be able to each rotate 270 deg about its vertical axis, enough to cover a great majority of rooms in this humid Singapore.

The wobble-able nature of the fan allows for greater flexibility in deploying the fan, beyond just corners or edges of rooms. This also provides added stability, especially in with a high volume of human traffic.

The icing would be in the design of the remote, which uses a touch screen element to allow the user to set/reset the angle of coverage, as well as the power of the blowing air, using the usual red/green colours.

About me

I am an educator and a firm believer in shaping each child to his or her fullest potential. I believe that each should be exposed to the many myriads of professions and subject matter as s/he possibly can, and then to work from there to see how her/his potential can be realised. I am a firm believer in leveraging technology to deepen the students' learning in and out of the classrooms, and then to nurture them to be active citizens, and (co)creators of content.

I love photography, especially photo-journalistic works, and subscribes to the idea that each photo tells a deeper story. You can check some of my works in my Behance profile.

I love to travel whenever I have the opportunity, and am wishing that I can tick off all the places that I want to visit in my bucket list.

A firm believer and practitioner of design thinking, I love the idea that design, in its many forms, should be about the people, their experiences, the exploring of the many design facets that are embedded and intrinsic to making something well-designed, regardless whether it is a physical product, or a digital artefact for the web.
