nothing a fan with three blades is just weaker and smaller than a fan with four blades! <3
Ceiling fans typically have 3 to 5 blades.
An electrical fan can have two, three or four blades. The main thing is that the number of blades must be balanced to avoid juddering.
If the blades are belt driven, like most are, then it makes no difference what position they are in. The deck is made so the blades do not touch each other.
Actually some have more than 3. Three is the minimum to keep things balanced. With 1 or 2 blades, the fan will tend to wobbel depending on geometry and material used. IE there are 1 and 2 foam blades used on hand held sprtitzer devices that tourists carry around. Since the weight is minimal and cost is essential, it works. However for home ceiling fans, its important to have 3-5 blades. Generally the 5 blade fans have longer blades and are used for large rooms that nee more air pushed.
One Direction has more fans and don't have songs that repeat the same 20 words for 3 and a half
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.

Fans typically have an odd number of blades to minimize the interference caused by blade passage. Having an odd number of blades helps to create a more uniform airflow and reduces vibrations. This design is also more efficient in terms of airflow and noise generation compared to even-numbered blades.
A typical wind pump has between 3 to 5 blades. The number of blades can vary depending on the design and purpose of the wind pump.
