Cooling Without the Carbon Cost: The BLDC Super Fan Reducing India’s Power Footprint
India uses nearly 40 million ceiling fans every year, yet most still rely on inefficient AC motors. Nanotechnology researcher Mayur Sundararajan’s Super Fan replaces them with BLDC technology, cutting electricity use by up to 60% while delivering higher airflow, stable performance during voltage drops, and large-scale reductions in household energy demand and carbon emissions.
