Description

One more for DanielTepesKraus, just because three is a lucky number. He’s hanging in there, but a little luck never hurt nobody. Here’s to you getting better soon, pal.
 
I already had the concept for this one in my mind to begin with, but during me and Kraus’ last Skype call I mentioned I was making a fan pony and he had this to say:  
Have you named him yet? You should name him “Shaded Pole” and see who gets the joke, and who thinks they got the joke.
It also made me want to redo this one as a stallion because, to be honest, I don’t draw enough stallions and they’re super cute too, hence the delay.

Thanagor

My question is: are his fan blades powered by muscles or an actual electric motor. And if the latter…where in the world is his brain?

The first thing I saw was actually a oriental sort of look, at least from the thumbnail. Like the vents were whiskers and the mane was pulled back into a bun.

Bah don’t worry about that. Truth is I was trying to make him look ethnic; the fanblade hair and the vents on the face reminded me of a Native American headdress and warpaint so I kind of gave him that colorization. All in all the effect was lost in the end, but I still liked the color scheme.

Lol nailed it.

Shaded pole motor. A type of squirrel cage motor characterized by being economical, reliable, cheap, and with low start/run torque. Their low torque makes them ideal for fans because it adds a layer of safety: touching the blades of a shaded pole motor would sting, while touching the blades of most other kinds of motors would likely take some fingers off.
 
@amess  
T depends. The motors in fans are typically only reversible by flipping the rotor around. There are four coil sp motors (which can be reversed via a switch); it just depends on if whoever or whatever made the fan pony thought to fit him with such a motor, if it has the power to generate lift, and whether or not he runs off a receptacle like the lamp and toaster.

I just realized that what I said could be seen as… Offensively stupid. But its anonymous and I can’t change it.

Doesn’t understand. Won’t try and understand. He looks Japanese to me for some reason.
