If the air is moving, then it has kinetic energy. If the fan is running, then the blade
has kinetic energy. Maybe that's where the moving air got its kinetic energy from.
If the dog is also walking through the room, then the dog has kinetic energy too,
but he probably didn't get his kinetic energy from the fan or the air. On the other
hand, a piece of tissue floating through the room could very well have gotten its
kinetic energy from the fan, but that kinetic energy had to be carried from the fan
to the tissue by the moving air.

What kind of energy does a fan represent?
An electric fan converts electrical energy into kinetic energy of the fan blades, which is then transferred to kinetic energy of moving air.
When a fan moves air what energy transformation is occurring?
Chemical energy stored in a battery is converted into electrical energy which drives the fan (converting the electrical energy to kinetic energy of the moving fan blades). This kinetic energy of the fan blades is then converted into kinetic energy of the surrounding air, and also there will be some heat generated too.
When you turn on a fan electrical energy changes into?
The electrical energy is converted to kinetic energy and heat. The kinetic energy is first seen in the blades of the fan as they rotate. This kinetic energy is converted to air movement, another form of kinetic energy. The electrical energy isn't fully converted to kinetic energy but turns into heat. This is generated by the magnetic fields of the motor and friction. Both of these are considered to be losses of energy but in fact they are simply a conversion to a form of energy that is not of use.
What kind of energy is it when a big fan blows down a row of dominoes?
Its called kinetic energy. Most energy that involves movement is kinetic energy.
What energy conversion happens in an fan?
fan converts electric energy into magnetic and further mechanical energy

How to know what energy is a fan?
Please don't say that a "fan is energy". This is highly inaccurate and confusing. A fan uses and convertsenergy.If the fan is plugged into an electrical socket, then it uses electrical energy. Since it produces movement (of the fan blades, and of the wind that comes out of the fan), the result is movement energy. Movement energy is usually called kinetic energy.
When you turn on a fan what does electrical energy turns into?
It turns into mechanical energy-a mass of air is being pushed through the fan so the air molecules are being given kinetic energy (I'm saying mechanical energy includes kinetic energy)
What type of energy does an electrical fan produce?
Yes, because it is not 100 % efficient at converting electrical energy into kinetic energy.
What Energy Transformations of a battery powered fan?
chemical potential energy to electrical enery to kinetic energy
Why electricfan is an mechanical energy?
An electric fan is not "an mechanical energy". An electric fan converts electrical energy into mechanical energy (the movement of the fan blades, and hence, the movement of the air).
Is there is any workdone in fan when it is rotating and consuming electricity?
The work is done when the fan moves air, imparting kinetic energy to the air.
What is the waste energy from a hairdryer?
Useful - heat energy of air flowing past the heater filament and kinetic energy of air driven by fan
