The fan doesn't cool the air. The fan simply moves the air. The cooling happens when

air moves over your skin. When that happens, it causes moisture on your skin to

evaporate, and the evaporated moisture draws heat away with it.

That's why the old-fashioned way was to wave a fancy decorated paper fan ... or a

section of newspaper ... back and forth in front of your face. Just to get the air moving.

The electric fan just saves you the trouble of waving your hand back and forth.

What are the physics of a helicopter I am looking for how the main rotors create lift for the helicopter to take flight?

They work exactly the same as the wing on a fixed-wing aircraft: the shape of the blades creates an air pressure differential between the top and bottom sides, which lifts the aircraft. This differential only exists when the blades are moving through air, so they simply attach the blades to a shaft and spin them rapidly.
