Its because of the gaps between the blades of the fan. When a person speaks in front of a fan, the sound travels as usual but when it reaches the rotating blades, some of the sound goes through the gaps between the blades and some of it is reflected by the blades. So we hear the voice with gaps in it that sounds robotic

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.
Do fans really cool you off during the hot weather?
Fans rely on taking air from behind and pushing forward. If the fan is blowing air on a hot day then in reality you believe your being cooled but your actually not. Now say you prop the fan in front of a refrigerator with cold air then it would be cooling you off. It all depends on location of the fan.
