There was a fan in my last fire departments bay (where the trucks are kept) named (for real) "Big Ass Fan". It was literally 20 feet across with metal blades and the adjustment was a percentage from 1 to 100%. 100% was a whirling death wind of speed and sound. If a blade where to ever fly off it would put a hole through a wall or slice a man in two.

Yeah, big ass fans are absolutely awesome. Their biggest over head fan is 30ft (10m) across

Me saying 20 feet was just a guess. Now I'm wondering if it's the 24 or 30 footer. I'll have to pay a visit and see. Lol.

But yeah, it worked crazy good.
