What is the difference between The Solitaire Punkah and a regular ceiling fan?

The Solitaire Punkah moves air by swinging slowly back and forth and hence provides a gentle breeze with each movement. A rotating fan provides a constant air flow, that many people find uncomfortable. The air flow of a fan is usually measured by the quantlty of air streaming into one direction per minute. This data can not be given for a punkah fan, since a punkah does not provide a constant air flow. A rotating fan can usually be switched to work in both directions, to move air either up or down. It can mostly also be switched to different speeds. Even though there is the option to adjust the speed of The Solitaire Punkah, the perfect motion is when it is operating at a speed that mimics a natural pendulum. This is also the most relaxing appearance of a swinging fan. A punkah fan provides comfort for all senses.
