Embodiment Construction
[0036]As discussed herein, implementations of an enhanced axial air mover system address various issues such as drying performance, transportability, storage, use, and assembly. Some implementations include ergonomic positioning of a carrying handle relative to positioning of a fan-assembly to make the system easier to carry. Implementations have enclosures with variable diameter profiles to increase air flow performance through the air mover. A floor edge allows for flush positioning of the air mover's outlet to improve flow of air after exhausted from the air mover. Various supports and engagement members allow for horizontal and / or vertical engagement of a plurality of the air movers for storage or increased air moving capacity for a given application. An alignment guide assists with positioning of the air mover with respect to a room wall to enhance air flow within the room. A cord retaining system provides an enhanced approach for securing the air mover's electrical cord. The a...
