Wind Machine Rentals

This fan can move tree branches 100 feet away. It can tilt up & down and will rotate almost 360 degrees. It has been used in hundreds of feature films, television, music videos & commercials. Throughout the entertainment industry, it has been known as the 100MPH fan. The wind output has been measured at that speed standing 10 feet away from the blade. It has a fairly narrow focus and the wind speed drops off quickly as you move away from the vortex.
