    However, when wind speed is greater than 12 miles per hour, can generate 70 % more electricity, and the best approach to ensure such scenario is building platforms for the fans at higher altitudes (Green living, 2013).

    Mistral was one of the prominent companies in the electrical manufacturing industry. They received numerous awards for the design on the Mistral Gyro Aire, which was introduced in 1968. In January of 1988, a house in Melbourne caught on fire killing two children, causing a public warning about the faulty fans by the coroner’s court. The fire started with a mistral fan, and an investigation following the incident exposed a history of poor regulatory control. Before this incident Mistral had supplied a hospital with 40 fans which were assembled from parts of older units and two of the fans caught fire. During 1977-1978 Mistral recalled the fans but they failed to mention anything about the fire risk. By 1985 Mistral had evidence of 52 fan-related fires before them but chose to ignore it.
