Abstract (en)

A cooling fan for an engine or motor is constructed so that the blades, at least, are formed of shape memory material. The construction procedure is such as to cause the material to assume one condition, in which the angle of attack for the blades is relatively low, for temperatures below a threshold value and to assume another condition, in which the angle of attack of the blades is relatively high, for temperatures above the threshold value.
