Abstract
An air-moving device may include an aerodynamic stator. The aerodynamic stator may be positioned forward of a motor of the air-moving device and aftward of an aerodynamic rotor of the air-moving device. A control unit may be integrated in and in thermal communication with the aerodynamic stator. The aerodynamic stator may transfer heat from the control unit to thermally conductive stator vanes of the aerodynamic stator. An airflow generated by the aerodynamic rotor may facilitate heat dissipation from the thermally conductive stator vanes. The aerodynamic stator may include electrically conductive stator vanes. The electrically conductive stator vanes may provide at least one of power or control signaling to the control unit.
