I work as engineer in hvac and a teacher once taught me the reason behind this question but I can’t seem to find that actually correct and full answer of this question so hopefully one of you can help me out. Thanks.
Why does a ceiling fan, and other fans for that matter I guess, collect dust toward the tip of the blade it spins? I know bc it comes in contact etc but why won’t it fall off when being turned on fast mode etc ?

Okay. Imagine a magnet. It has a positive and a negative side. When you take another magnet, the positive and negative sites stick together.
Most dust contains positive iones, which makes the dust the positive side of the magnet.
If the fan blades are loaded positive (contain more protons then electrones) the fan is the positive side of the magnet.
The dust sticks to the fan blades until the fan spins so fast that air resistance is greater then the magnetic force
