I admit that when you said “big fan” I imagined a wind turbine in reverse.

Zooming into the picture, I see it’s more like desk fans on sticks. I’m sure they’re bigger than that really, but is it really too much to ask for a windmill that does work that way?

At this size I imagine you'd have to worry about the fan generating enough force to start tilting and falling without proper support
