How do I make the most of a fan motor. What type of blade gives the most thrust? I need it to blow as hard as it possibly can.

squirrel cage fans are readily available. pic related is double but most are not. I just like the looks of this hurricane maker.

Get a small VFD for it and crank the frequency up until it slips.

You can do a lot of cool shit with them. We had some VFDs in our shop and hooked up a box fan as a "visual aid" along with an o-scope so I could show the guys what they really did. It spun so fast it blow itself off the table. After strapping it down I got it to run for a few minutes, but the windings got so hot the plastic housing melted and it completely broke but god DAMN that thing was moving air.
There are a lot of single phase motors that won't work with them though. Anything with a commutator is NFG.
