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

general_kitten@sopuli.xyz · 4 pts · 270d

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

AlsaValderaan@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 269d

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

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
