What is the distance between the fan and ceiling?
I've a 4 ft diameter ceiling fan with 3 blades of std width (about 3") hanging at a distance of 9" from the ceiling. Floor to ceiling distance is 8'5". Problem is that when I stand at a distance of about 3 to 4 feet from the centre of the fan - there is no air-flow. So, area covered by fan is 8 ft dia (max). If I stand beyond 8 ft dia circle there is hardly any air flow. Same fan in another room is hanging at a distance of about 12" to 13" and it's covering area 12 ft dia on the floor with a reasonable air-flow. It seems that there is some co-relation between height of fan from ceiling and area covered below it. Any idea? The distance from the ceiling is of little importance unless ceiling is very tall. Size of fan, width of blades makes the difference. Pitch of the blades The angle, or pitch, of each ceiling fan blade is also a determining factor in how efficient a ceiling fan will be. The angle of the blade affects the amount of wind resistance and the fan's ability to blow the circulated air downward.

Where can I buy replacement ceiling fan blades?
Spare parts for ceiling fans can be bought at any local miscallenous store or online at Amazon, eBay and many other stores. One should consult an expert before personally repairing a ceiling fan and other devices.
Why three winged ceiling fan is faster than a four winged ceiling fan?
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.
What kind of ceiling fan is best for a large room?
The most appropriate ceiling fan for a large room would be a large one. This is because the larger the ceiling fan, the more air will be blown throughout the room.

How do the blades of a ceiling fan turn for cool air?
Clockwise
What will happen if the ceiling fan contains seven blades?
it will make fan heavy and thus consume more power as compare to 3 blades fan
How do you assemble a ceiling fan?
Assembling a ceiling fan is really easy. First take it out of the box and place all the blades around the center of the fan. Then connect the whole unit to the ceiling with the wires.

Why fan rotates anticlockwise?
A fan motor has two parts namely rotor and stator. In a table fan blades are attached to rotor and its movement appears to be clockwise. In a ceiling fan, blades are attached to stator so blades appears to be moving anti clockwise.
Ceiling fans hanging rod length?
The length of the ceiling fan is based on distance from floor and ceiling.The ideal height for the fan blades is 7 to 9 feet from the floor.
How much can you get a brushed nickel ceiling fan for?
A brushed nickel ceiling fan can be got for as low as $14. This price is available both on Amazon and Lowe's. The length of the blades is of 18 inches.
How ceiling fan convert electrical energy into mechanical energy?
The motor does it, by producing a rotating magnetic field, which twists the fan blades.
Does a 5-blade ceiling fan provide more air movement than a 3-blade fan?
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.
What is the parts of the ceiling fan?
The purpose of celling fan is to swirl available air and creat flow of air.so its blades performes an important roll .
Why does a fan has odd number of wings?
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.
Why does a ceiling fan have only 3 blades?
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.
