Air moving device includes a housing, an impeller in the housing for
generating a downward air flow, and vanes in the housing in close
proximity to and a selected distance below the impeller to straighten the
air flow. The device produces an air flow that substantially remains in a
column over a substantial distance. The method includes producing an air
flow that substantially remains in a column over a substantial distance
and directing the air flow from the ceiling towards the floor to provide
temperature destratification of the air in an enclosed space. The method
also includes directing warm air from the ceiling to the floor and
storing heat in the floor, apparatus on the floor and ground under the
floor. The stored heat is released when the ceiling is cooler than the
floor.
