Electromechanical fan apparatus operable to provide a new type of ventilation comprises a rotor constituted by a rectangular frame (9, 10, 11) mounted to turn about an axis (6) lying in the plane of the frame and parallel to two opposite sides (9) thereof. These sides (9) of the frame, parallel to the axis of rotation (6), are constituted by blades having cylindrical surfaces, with the concavity directed towards the direction of movement, whilst the other two sides of the frame, orthogonal to the axis of rotation (6) are each constituted by two pairs of oppositely inclined blades (10, 10 min ) also having cylindrically curved surfaces and a concavity facing in the direction of movement or in the opposite direction from this. The rotation of rotor (9, 10, 11) consequently causes axial displacement of air from both ends of the rotor, preferably drawing such air streams in and causing an intimate mixing thereof before the mixed air is expelled radially.
