Philip Diehl Ceiling Fan Mechanics

The document discusses the working principles of a ceiling fan. It describes how a ceiling fan uses a motor to convert electrical energy into rotational mechanical energy. The motor contains a stator that creates a rotating magnetic field, and a rotor positioned at an angle that spins due to magnetic repulsion from the stator. As the rotor spins, it causes the fan blades attached to the housing to rotate and circulate air in a room. The length of the fan blades determines the size of the room the fan can effectively circulate air in.

T his is my first article in my educational life and it was written by the

inspiration made by my [Link] day,I was lying on bed and seeing my


ceiling [Link] the fan rotated,my mind also rotated thinking that how fan
is working,what is the principle behind it,etc.

Ceiling fan was first discovered by Philip Diehl in [Link] below diagram
shows the parts of the ceiling fan [Link] addition to this,fan blades,hooks,etc.
STATOR:

As the polarity of current changes,a rotating magnetic field is [Link]


magnetic field induces current in the laminations of the rotor,causing it to spin
around the stationary stator as like in the fidget spinnerin which ball
bearings(rotor)spins around the center point(stator).

ROTOR:
The rotor is positioned at an angle from the [Link] distance between
these two and the geometry of them makes 2 out of phase magnetic [Link]
the rotor repels the rotating magnetic field,the fan starts spinning.

FIDGET SPINNER:

HOUSING:

This is the outer covering that envelops the rotor as it revolves on the
bearings around the stator and also the fan blades are attached to it.
FAN BLADES:

It is the long wing-like structure attached to the [Link] circulation of


air is due to the rotation of the fan [Link] are mainly made of stainless steel.
FAN BLADE IRONS:

They are also known as [Link] is the thing which connects the fan
blades to the motor.
FLY WHEEL:

A flywheel is a rotating mechanical device that stores rotational


energy given out by the [Link] is a plastic or rubber appendage(an additional
thing of more important) that is attached to the motor [Link] connects the fan
blade irons to the [Link] inner ring of the flywheel is locked to the shaft by a
screw and the blade irons are attached to the outer ring.
TYPES OF JOINTS:

 Ball and socket joint

 J-hook

 U-bolt
WORKING OF CEILING FAN:

The ceiling fan has a motor that converts electrical energy into mechanical
[Link],the capacitor torques up the motor,thereby causing it to [Link] the
current reaches the coils of wire,a magnetic field is produced which creates force
in a clockwise [Link] this way,electrical energy is converted into mechanical
energy and causes the motor coils to spin.

As the motor rotates,housing also [Link] to this,fan bades also


rotate thereby giving [Link] air supply depends on the length of the blades too.

 The fan does not cool the air in the [Link] chillness is due to the
air from the fan interacts with the sweat on our [Link] to density,warm
air comes up and the fan circulates the warm air.
BLADE LENGTH SPECIFICATIONS:

 36-inch ceiling fan is suitable for room measuring up to 75 square


feet.

 42-inch is suitable for 76 to 144 square feet.

 44-inch is for 145 to 225 square feet.

 54-inch is for 226 to 400 square feet.
