Kerosene-powered fan

Let's not forget The Stirling Engine Fan, for instance: (https://warpfivefans.com/)

I'm pretty sure that EIC one was a Stirling engine too XD

Fan blades aren't flat

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Some are

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 3 points 9 months ago

I'll take your word for it. Nearly all fan blades have a twist, at minimum.

[-] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 4 points 9 months ago

engine fans can be often be powered by the gas engine itself instead of electricity

[-] AlsaValderaan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 9 months ago

You can have a fan with one blade and a counterweight...

[-] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 months ago

Hmmm ok lets think about it:

Technically the human body does use electrical signals so im gonna say yes on the first one
I am currently in possession of multiple flat and sharp blades for cooking (being attached does not seem to be a requirement)
Technically I can spin around very fast, granted not for very long but thats not a requirement. Still a check for me

Conclusion: I am an electrical fan
