Fans (both electric ones and hand held ones) are used to create wind, mainly to speed evaporation. The speeding of evaporation is mainly done to make human bodies cooler, but it is also used in drying things recently washed with water (e.g., floors or automobiles).

Fans are also used in some traditional cooking to oxygenate charcoal and make it burn hotter.

Folding fans are also used as props by some traditional storytellers.
