Because human skin cells (the main constituent of dust) will cling to almost anything - whether it's moving or not ! Additionally, the motor driving the fan will have a minute static charge when running - which will attract dust particles.

How is running ceiling fans instead using your air conditioner more efficient?

Since ceiling fans are much more simple than air conditioners, they require a lot less energy to run, meaning they cost a lot less. During the spring and early fall when the weather is still fairly warm, you can use your ceiling fans instead of using your air conditioner. The key is that you use your ceiling fan properly according to the season. During the summer, run the fan counterclockwise. This will blow air down on top of you, creating a gentle breeze that will not change the temperature in your home, but will make your home FEEL cooler. During the winter, run the fan clockwise. Since hot air rises above cool air, most of the warm air from your furnace will collect at the top of the ceiling in layers. Running the fan clockwise will blow the air up, swirling the layers around and making the lower parts of the rooms feel warmer.

Why does running water not freeze?

Running water does not freeze as easily as still water because the movement of the water prevents it from becoming stagnant and allows it to maintain a higher temperature, making it harder for ice to form.


Is it possible to have very little power but use a lot of energy?

Yes, it is possible to have very little power but still consume a lot of energy over time. Power measures how quickly energy is used, while energy measures the total amount used. For example, a low-power device running constantly over a long period can consume a significant amount of energy even though it has low power.


Is it true that all atoms in objects are moving even if the object is still?

Unless you have something in place that could be damaged by the fan blades, or simply want to conserve energy, as long as it has been installed securely, it's generally safe to leave a room with the ceiling fan still running.
