Fan (Mechanical)
Frederic P. Miller, Agnes F. Vandome, John McBrewster
A mechanical fan is an electrically powered device used to produce an airflow for the purpose of creature comfort (particularly in the heat), ventilation, exhaust,cooling or any other gaseous transport. Mechanically, a fan can be any revolving vane or vanes used for producing air currents. Fans produce air flows with high volume and low pressure, as opposed to a gas compressor which produces high pressures at a comparatively low volume. A fan blade will often rotate when exposed to an air stream, and devices that take advantage of this, such as anemometers and wind turbines often have designs similar to that of a fan. Typical applications include climate control, cooling systems, personal comfort (e.g., an electric table fan),...
