The Coanda effect – creating the most comfortable living space possible
Sharp’s air conditioners take advantage of a tendency in nature that has been termed the “Coanda effect *2 ” to heat and cool air evenly. The Coanda
effect is the observed tendency of moving gas or fl uid leaving a nozzle of some kind to cling to and follow nearby surfaces. Sharp air conditioners
utilize this tendency by aiming the airfl ow at room surfaces, such as walls or ceilings, to more precisely control and direct the fl ow of air.

Sharp’s unique Nature Wing fan blades modeled after nature
Usually, aircraft wing designs are used for airfl ow control and improved its products based on aerodynamics.
However, while aerodynamics is effective for moving large objects, it was discovered that the wings of birds and
insects are more effective examples for objects with the size of our products. This forms the basis of Nature Wing.
