In theory I don't see why not however not a very effective one also multiple variables will control if it can/ or how effective it is.

i.e. Is the room sealed

Where the fan is in the room

Furniture etc

What is the type of current ceiling fans produce?

I've never heard of a DC ceiling fan, but.. AC-Alternating current. Electricity flows through a circuit in one direction, then changes direction and goes back the other way. This happens 60 times per second in the US. (60Hz) The US power distribution system is AC. DC-Direct Current. Electricity flows through a circuit in only one direction continuously. Batteries powering a flashlight, for example, are DC. Well, all batteries are DC. Like I said, I've never heard of a DC ceiling fan, but the DC fan's motor is designed to run on DC (such as batteries) only, and the AC fan motor is designed to run on AC only. I have heard however of a solar powered attic ventilator, which would be a DC fan. If there is a DC ceiling fan, however, keep in mind it needs a power source, and you won't be able to hook it up to the electrical box in the ceiling. That box is AC. The power source for a DC ceiling fan is likely replaceable batteries or solar cells, neither of which will make for a very robust fan.

Is a black ceiling fan more becoming then a white ceiling fan?

There is no actual real significant difference, besides the color. A black ceiling fan works the exact same as a white ceiling fan. Of course, the brand of the fan might make a difference, though the color of the fan will not.
