ABSTRACT:
A system and method for producing a horizontal wave motion in flags, pennants, banners and other insignia. The system comprises a flag or the like, a flagpole, an air blower, and a cabinet which houses and conceals the air blower. The air blower generates a free airstream of selectively chosen volume which is directed towards the lower region of the flag where the flag is attached to the flagpole. The combination of the force of the vertically directed airstream, the force of gravity, and the connection of the flag to the flagpole at one end imparts to the flag a resultant vector force which disposes the flag to unfurl and wave horizontally. The system and method for producing a horizontal wave motion in flags and the like provides for the unobtrusive manipulation of flags and the like such that a natural windblown appearance is created with no audible or visual cue as to the actuating device.
