| My fan has to be 10x as powerful than Russ's fan, gaze at the champ, a 9" Koldaire Jackfrost fan from 1940. Attached Image (viewed 964 times):

| Okay now being serious, my most powerful fan has to be my General Electric Industrial Pedestal fan. When I trun this puppy on it blows back from such power and my lights flicker when I turn it on. Attached Image (viewed 955 times):

24"
3,200 CFM
1175RPM
I honestly prefer the slower fans, good air movement and little sound.

Probably my Emerson 73648-AK. It runs at a rediculous speed. I think its stronger than my 77648, plus the extra wind noise adds to the effect.

30" Emerson circulator...8600 CFM at a distance of 4 feet from the fan...give or take 10% variation. RPM...1025.
24" Emerson circulator...6100 CFM at a distance of 4 feet from the fan...give or take 10% variation. RPM...1150. 
If you prefer slower fans with good air movement... the ILG has gotta go dude. And by the way Andrew, as far as the extra noise is concerned...your just hearing things.

Ha, it was actually 13,200 CFM. I was wrong.
I think I have one of the Emerson's like yours. , a 24". I have a silver swan version, an overlapping mickey blade version and the one like yours Russ (although that one does not work). I like the mickey blade better, much quieter. The Silver swan has a whipping wind noise. I liked your video, that fan is some serious air movement.
I do not agree on the 73648 though, mine does not compare to a 77648 in terms of air movement and quietness. The 73648 sounds like a wind tunnel.
Of course theres always ILGzilla.

| My most powerful one has to be my 24" vorty. It runs at a slow speed & has that low pitch like an airplane propeller. Those skeeters don't have a chance when this thing is on.

Right now, it's a tie between my GE 75425 (16" BB) and my Emerson 73648 (16" SB).
However, once I find a blade big enough for my 1 HP, 1750 RPM GE motor.... it will be the most powerful fan.

Torrington 3 wing...30" blade span...9/16s rotor shaft hole. Based on the pitch of this blade it would make your fan the... King of Kings. Attached Image (viewed 900 times):

Andrew, what was 13,200 CFM with a 24" blade at 1175 RPM?  Did you repitch the wings sideways completely?

Thats according to the specs, 24" ILGWind, usually came with a plenum and a vent (whole house fan). The blades are normally pitched almost sideways anyway ;)

If we stick with semi-portable devices, I had a 35 inch Fresh'nd-Aire. Before (when I had it, and as it is now, not mine any more)

I'm with John on the 77646 AS, these fans are incredibly powerful for their size and level of efficiency.

My most powerful desk fan is my Century S4 4-winger. Those fans were never meant to be used in homes, but rather in those huge offices that had lots of desks and people. It sounds like an airplane and puts out about the same amount of breeze! I wonder if you were able to talk in those offices without shouting...all those fans running at once!
Also my trusty Fresh 'nd Aire, which blows a bunch and is whisper quiet to boot!

I once saw an old ILG catalog here which showed a 72" ventilator (6 feet!!). Wonder what that thing could do?

Wow that's a big ILG! We need one of those in the kennels at the animal hospital I work at, it would probably suck the animals out though!
My strongest is this Vornado fan from after Two Guys bought them, it's like a Manning Bowman fan. It's pretty powerful but it's very loud.

Sam, does your circulator say "Airmaster" on the badge or somewhere? I am very confident that is a Jim Funk blade design directed to Airmaster Corp. The pedestal pole has the Airmaster look.

315RPM? Is this direct drive to the blades? If so, what type motor does it use? How many poles? Must be like a giant, powerful ceiling fan motor? These ILG fans are cool!

315rpm? That's like, 6 rp(seconds), fairly slow, but I betcha that behemoth moves more air than I thought possible. I MUST see one up close

I've changed my mind, after recently using it I've realized that my most powerful fan is my beloved Lasko Window Fan, model 2068
Here's a video of it running: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=335FtRs7Hnc

They have large multi-pole motors. Usually 1/3phase.
Here is a photo of a 48" motor. Its about the size of a large dinner plate, made of cast iron.
For reference, those are the large wire nuts (1" or so).

| That is an impressive motor! Looks like the rated (no-load) RPM is 450 by the tag. Maybe 24 pole? Is it self-starting or split-phase? This is good stuff!

I just might go for this thing. It has an 8 HP Honda gas engine and it's 24 inch prop puts out a monstrous 24,000 CFM.  It retails for over 2 grand but it's looking like I could pick it up for about $450 shipped.Attached Image (viewed 645 times):
