How did you try the patented fan?

AS for longer chords? Probably not. Think of the most efficient wings
for airplanes -- the ones that provide the best lift/drag. They are
long and slender. The same principles hold for props. You can be sure
if wide chords were better they'd be showing up on experimental
aircraft, and they are not.
