Would a fan work in space?

Best Answer

No

A fan works by forcing air into motion...

Space is largely void....

I don't think one would be able to experience anything

========================

Another opinion:

Yes.

When connected up to the battery or other source of electrical power,

and the switch turned to the ON position, the fan would spin just fine,

and would even oscillate from side to side if designed to do so.

But there would be not much point to it since, without air, the fan could not

blow air across anything, and even if it could, you could not feel it from inside

your space suit.

Due to the absence of air in outer space, it cannot blow air. However, if you are in a capsule with air that is in outer space, it is possible to blow air.

A fan would not keep you cool in space because since there's no air in outer space, there is no wind. If there's no wind, then the fan would be blowing nothing towards you.
