Is sleeping under ceiling fan dangerously?
not at all. But do not sleep with your head straight under ceiling fan.
Where was the ceiling fan invented?
An electric ceiling fan was invented by the man who had engineered the electric motor used in the first Singer sewing machines, Philip Diehl. In 1882 he adapted that motor for use in a ceiling-mounted fan.
When was ceiling fan discovered?
The first instance of ceiling fans occurred in the 1860's, by means of a water turbine. The electric ceiling fan was invented in 1882 by Phillip Diehl.
In a hot room which way is best to have the ceiling fan turn... clockwise or counter clockwise?
In a hot room, you want heat to be pulled up to the ceiling, then distributed as cooler air around the room. You would set your ceiling fan to rotate clockwise to do this.
When a room is hot is it better to have the ceiling fan turn clockwise or counter clockwise?
When a room is hot it is better to have the ceiling fan turned counter clockwise. This forces the air to blow down. In the winter the fan should turn clockwise to keep the warm air higher.
What is structure of ceiling fan?
ceiling fan consist of a miter which run an as soon as wing
Why ceiling fan rotates in anticlockwise direction but table fan rotates in clockwise direction?
Ceiling fans usually can rotate in either direction. There is usually a switch on the unit. This allows downflow during the warm season and upflow during the winter. The direction of rotation of a table fan is determined by the shape of the blades. A motor can be made to run in either direction but to force air to the front of the table fan, it must rotate in the direction that the blades will force the air properly.
Why do celling fans have a switch to change it's rotation?
so you don't have to rewind the run and start windings every time you want the fan to run the other way ... The net purpose of changing the rotation is to circulate the air in the opposite direction. If the fan spins in Direction "A" the air is drawn from below and up toward the ceiling When you reverse it to Direction "B" the air is drawn from the ceiling toward the floor.
Which direction should a ceiling fan go?
A ceiling fan should blow downwards when used with cooling, upward when used with heating.
How do you change the fan direction on a ceiling fan?
There should be a small slide switch on the fan. Turn it off and let it stop then move the slide switch then restart it and it should go in the other direction. If you are smart enough to ask a question on answers.com you should be smart enough to change the direction of a ceiling fan!
Which direction should ceiling fan push air in summer?
down
If we change the polarity of capacitor in ceiling fan why it starts rotating reverse direction?
by changing the polarity of capacitor of single phase ceiling fan can we change the direction of rotation from anticlockwise to clockwise
Can turning a ceiling fan generate electricity by hand turning it?
Probably not. A ceiling fan's motor converts electricity into mechanical motion. While many electrical motors can also be run as generators ceiling fan designers most likely wouldn't include that feature in designs. Ceiling fans also have a capacitor to help generate enough torque to start a fan. Sending electricity back through a capacitor in the opposite direction is not recommended.
Why are there 2 directions on a ceiling fan?
When the fan pulls air up to the ceiling it pushes warm air back down to heat the room. Turn the fan the other direction and it send a cooling breeze.
What does the white switch on a ceiling fan do?
Reverse direction of the fan. Move air down in summer of breeze, and up in winter for circulation
What is a ceiling fan?
It's a fan that hangs from your ceiling.
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.
