Why can ceiling fans spin so the air goes up? What would that benefit?
In: Physics
In the summer when it’s hot, you want the fans to push air down towards you to cause a breeze that helps you feel cooler.
In the winter when it’s cold you don’t want a breeze but also the warmer air is rising towards the ceiling. You want the fans to pull the cool air up towards the ceiling to mix and push the warm air back down towards the ground. This will help to distribute the warmer air near you ceiling back into the rest of the room.
