Why can ceiling fans spin so the air goes up? What would that benefit?
In: Physics
Either direction that a fan turns creates air movement in the room.
The difference is that, when the fan is pushing down, directly under it will be a burst of air. This can be useful in warmer months, but unwanted in the cooler months.
In either case, there is a current that goes between the fan, across the ceiling, down the walls, across the floor, and back up. It’s just a matter of which direction it’s going.
