How an electric fan works?

Ceiling fans spin rapidly, pushing air around and creating wind to make you feel cooler. Wind is moving air, and helps perspiration. Actually, the fans don't cool the room down. In fact, since motors generate heat by using energy, they warm the room up gradually. That means that fresh air is needed.

The "best" answer to this curious question might be that a fan is made up of many, many atoms, and an atom is only a single "unit" of matter. The atom will be an element. The fan will contain many different elements in its structure. An atom is an "unbonded" entity, and the fan will contain its (almost) countless atoms bound in chemical and mechanical ways to give the fan is physical shape and structure. A fan is macroscopic, and an atom is far smaller than microscopic. Lastly, we cannot destroy an atom in the "conventional" physical sense, but we can demolish a fan completely.

If the question put by the person means something different, then the answer also changes.

Fan to exemplify the atom's performance, will it be correct? How does it differ?

To such a question the answer is: NO

Here the head rotates at the same angular speed as the blades do. But in the atom nuclear spin would be different with the orbital speed of electrons in their orbits.

Secondly, orbital plane in case of fan is restricted to two dimension. But in case of atom electron orbits around the nucleus in different planes oriented in three dimension.

The whole blade is held by the material link but in case of atom electrons are held only by electrostatic attractive forces

One key thing if you are talking about the blades and the electrons. The blades of a fan revolve in a circle. However, the movement of an electron is within a sphere or other 3 dimensional paths

the electrons move around the nucleus,kind like the the blades of a fan. hope that helps (y)

A rotating electric fan is an excellent visual model of the atom. The base is the nucleus and protons and the spinning blade represents the electrons.

The blades spin so fast they are like a blur. Atoms spin so fast they are like a blur.

depends what kind of non electric fan you are talkin about. but i would reckon manual labour would work for a non electric fan

An electric motor powers the blades of the fan. The blades are shaped so that they push air out at 90 degrees to the plane of rotation.

The blade of the fan spines so fast that you can see through it.

The atoms move fast that they are like a blur.

the chatter is electric because the fan works with the passage of electricity.

There is no real quality difference in pull vs push for electric fans. Rather you should concentrate on the company, power, and reviews to pick the best fan that works for you.


How is energy stored in a electric fan?

An electric fan does not, normally, store any form of energy. It is a machine which works in response to energy supplied - at the time - and stop working when that energy supply is stopped.

Fan works on ac or DC?

It depends on the motor. The fan is driven by an electric motor, and it can use a dc motor (as in a car) or an ac motor (as in a house). They are not interchangeable.

Are there two coolant temperature sensors on 1990 Crown Victoria?

If you have an electric fan, plus the clutch fan, then the answer is yes. The first sensor will give you the engine temp. The 2nd sensor, when the engine heats up more, will open the connection to start the electric fan. If the gauge works on the dash, temp. and all is normal, but the electric fan does not come on, then replace the sensor for the fan. Just follow the wire to its location. If you have a/c , as soon as you put it on, the electric fan will start. If it does not, then check for a power loss at the fan, fuse, or just have to replace the fan. Just pull the wire harness off the sensor, jump the 2 wires, fan should start.

First off, make sure that the fuse for the electric fan is good. Then, hot wire the fan to the battery to make sure that the fan motor works. If the fan is good, and the fuse is good, probably the fan sensor is bad.
