    returned to the fan in a closed circuit
•  The circuit will cover an area of 160,000 square feet
•   It will take an estimated 20,000 tons of steel and 2,000 cubic yards of concrete to
    construct the circuit
•  The main fan has a diameter of 22 feet, and is rated at 5,100 hp
•  The fan is capable of producing a maximum air speed of 180 mph
•  At maximum air speed, the fan produces an air flow volume of 2.85 million cubic feet per
    minute, and its total power consumption is 7 megawatts (one megawatt is equal to one
    million [106] watts)
