Clubbers can add a cool breeze to the joys of flashing lights, strobes and
psychedelic effects. Inventor Przemyslaw Filipek of Lublin, Poland, has dreamt
up a new party experience (WO 98/59201). Signals from a nightclub’s sound system
controls the electric motor driving the ceiling fans so that the rotational
speed of the blades varies with the beat of the music. The inventor calls his
system a “blow phone”, as ravers are blown by a rhythm-related wind which keeps
them cool into the bargain.
