Nothing, IF it's made for a four blade fan. If it is a FIVE blade fan and you only have four blades, then it will be out of balance. It doesn't matter how many blades as long as they are spaced out equally and are balanced right.
Slices of foods such as pie or pizza, A ceiling fan with more than four blades may have an acute angle where the blades meet, Furniture, depending on how it's made
A fan does not have to possess an odd number of blades. The can have any number from two on up. Ceiling fans typically have 3 to 5 blades, with four being extremely common.
Surface area of the fan blades determine the work involved. A fan with a 36 inch diameter having four blades has more surface area so must work harder than a fan of the same diameter having only three blades. More work on the same amount of energy supplied will be slower. If the surface of the additional blade adds 25 percent more drag then the speed of the motor will reflect it.

Fans can have any number blades--even one! (but then you need a counterweight for balance). There are airplanes that have one blade for a propeller. There are many variables that figure into how many blades a fan has. Air velocity, noise, shape of the blade, length of the blade, material cost, vibration, etc. For airplanes sometimes they change 2-bladed propellers for three or four or more to get different flying characteristics.
This would generally depend on the size of the fan blades in question as well as the rating of the fan motor. 3 large blades can move as much air as four or five smaller blades. The question is similar to asking, is a big car faster than a small car.

nothing a fan with three blades is just weaker and smaller than a fan with four blades! <3
Some of the highest-rated easy-to-install ceiling fans include: The Westinghouse 78108 30-Inch Petite Hugger Ceiling Fan, the Hunter 20803 Low Profile III 52-Inch 5-Blades Ceiling Fan and the Westinghouse 7871500 Contemporary IV Four-Light 52-Inch Five-Blade Ceiling Fan. All of these are under $90. Hunter is the most famous model of ceiling fan. You can install them if you are careful to follow instructions and use the proper precautions. However it is usually difficult to balance any fan properly and electricity is never to be taken lightly.
the reason there is only three blades is because four blades would add weight and wind resistance, in some countries they use two or four bladed turbines though. \
there is three or four
An electrical fan can have two, three or four blades. The main thing is that the number of blades must be balanced to avoid juddering.
