Motorized air circulator
An electric fan is a device with rotating blades powered by an electric motor, used to circulate air for cooling or ventilation.
Unlike air conditioners, fans don't actually lower temperature—they create airflow that speeds evaporation from skin, producing a cooling sensation.
