A swirl confetti blower is designed to create a conical swirl motion that would cause the confetti to blow down around and up/out the spouts. This blower consists of top that has the confetti loading doors, fan housing and fan blade guard, hanging bracket, the main housing body with the confetti snouts and the octagon vent bottom which is the confetti trough and the bottom air relief portion with the conical diffuser. Diversion of air flow is what helps the confetti to flow not only up and out but also out the bottom relief channel. This Vortex or Swirl is created by using a high velocity blower fan. The blower loads from the snouts or the doors on the top of the unit. This unit can be hung from a truss or positioned on a flat surface. This would be for either manual control or an external DMX unit that would be able to be controlled from a lighting console.

1. A swirl confetti blower comprising: a high velocity fan; anda housing having a top portion, a bottom portion and a middle portion, wherein the fan is positioned at the top portion of the housing, the middle portion of the housing has a storage area for storing confetti, one or more spouts projecting outward of the middle portion and the bottom portion having a conical diverter at the center and provisions for air relief at periphery, such that a central air column of the fan hits the bottom portion and the conical diverter thereby causing a swirl effect and releasing back pressure simultaneously, and an outer air column hits the confetti that is in the storage area and is directed to blow out of the confetti spouts. 2. The blower of claim 1, wherein the blower has six confetti spouts. 3. The blower of claim 1, wherein the blower has a hanging bracket attached to the top portion of the housing so as to facilitate to be hung, further the blower can be positioned on a flat surface. 4. The blower of claim 1, wherein the conical diverter diverts the air flow in such a direction that helps the confetti to flow not only up and out but also out of a bottom relief channel formed in the bottom portion. 5. The blower of claim 1, wherein the blower loads from the spouts on the middle portion of the housing. 6. The blower of claim 1, wherein the blower has a three position switch that has an OFF, high speed and low speed positions. 7. A swirl confetti blower comprising: a housing having top portion, bottom portion and middle portion, wherein the top portion has one or more confetti loading doors and a hanging bracket facilitating attachment of the blower to ceiling, the middle portion has a storage area for storing confetti, one or more confetti spouts projecting outward of the middle portion in upward direction and the bottom portion having a conical diverter at the center and one or more bottom baffles for air relief at periphery to release back pressure; anda high velocity fan, wherein the fan is mounted at the center of the top portion of the housing such that a central air column of the fan hits the bottom baffle and the conical diverter thereby causing a swirl effect while simultaneously releasing the back pressure, and an outer air column hits the confetti that is in the central storage area and is directed upwards to blow out of the confetti spouts. 8. The blower of claim 7, wherein the blower has eight confetti loading doors on the top portion of the housing. 9. The blower of claim 7, wherein the fan blows air downward in a 16 inch column. 10. The blower of claim 7, wherein the blower has six confetti spouts. 11. The blower of claim 7, wherein the blower can be hung from a truss by the hanging bracket or positioned on a flat surface. 12. The blower of claim 7, wherein the conical diverter diverts the air flow in such a direction that helps the confetti to flow not only up and out but also out of a bottom relief channel formed in the bottom portion. 13. The blower of claim 7, wherein the blower loads from the spouts or the doors on the top portion of the housing. 14. The blower of claim 7, wherein the blower has a three position switch that has an OFF, high speed and low speed positions. 15. A swirl confetti blower comprising: a housing having top portion, bottom portion and middle portion, wherein the top portion has a hanging bracket facilitating attachment of the confetti blower to ceiling, multiple confetti storage chambers, wherein each chamber has a door at top for loading confetti into the chamber and a door at bottom of the chamber for unloading the confetti, the middle portion has a central storage area for storing confetti that are ready to be blown out, one or more confetti spouts projecting outward of the middle portion in upward direction and the bottom portion having a conical diverter at the center and one or more bottom baffles for air relief at periphery to release back pressure, wherein the confetti stored in the one or more storage chambers at the top portion of the housing can be unloaded at a time into the central storage area at the middle portion of the housing by opening the one or more doors at bottom of the chambers; anda high velocity fan, wherein the fan is mounted at the center of the top portion of the housing, facilitating a central air column of the fan to hit the bottom baffle and the conical diverter, thereby causing a swirl effect while simultaneously releasing the back pressure, and an outer air column to hit the confetti that is in the central storage area and is directed upwards to blow out of the confetti spouts. 16. The blower of claim 15, wherein the doors at bottom of the storage chambers at the top portion of the housing are spring loaded doors, that are connected to solenoid and can be actuated automatically by a DMX control unit. 17. The DMX control unit of claim 16, wherein the DMX control unit has at least one channel to control the fan speed and one or more channels to control the solenoids that open or close the spring loaded doors at bottom of the storage chambers at the top portion of the housing. 18. The blower of claim 15, wherein the blower has eight confetti storage chambers at the top portion of the housing. 19. The blower of claim 15, wherein the blower has six confetti spouts. 20. The blower of claim 15, wherein the conical diverter diverts the air flow in such a direction that helps the confetti to flow not only up and out but also out of a bottom relief channel formed in the bottom portion.
