I do recall asking this question before but I forgot the answer..:doh:..if I had indeed gotten a real, honest to goodness, correct answer at all......

I've bee baking a few batches of cupcakes tonight and the kitchen has gotten really hot......:rolleyes:....I have a ceiling fan in the kitchen :idea:....I want to cool off....

So my question is.......which way should the blades be turning? :rofl:

Let's say I'm laying on the floor underneath the ceiling fan and looking up.....should they be turning clockwise or counter-clockwise to cool off a room?........

:doh:It's deja vu all over again......:rofl:

LOL

and yes, I've been up since 5 am....:rofl:
 
You bee sitting too close to the hot oven preco. Go get some sleep.

If you stand underneath the fan and it feels cool, you should be in good shape. :worry:
 
BD, if I stand underneath the ceiling fan I'll be standing on a glass table...even I know that isn't good....:p

And, at 11:30 pm, all the bees have gone to sleep (:secret: which is where I belong prolly b/c I'll be up again at 5am :doh: )

So..:convinced:.....which way should the blades be turnin'? LOL

Time to spinkle the cupcakes.......:ohwell:

And no, I won't be checking homework tonight.......:secret: that should really irritate the anal teacher and I'm sure I'll get the underline thingys and exclamation points again! :rofl: That'll make her day...;)...she loves to do that....:angel:
 
cupcakes??? with sprinkles???

They should be cool by the time I get there...

Don't wait up, i'll let myself in (I still have a key).;)
 
Theres a newfangled gadget for the kitchen that maybe you northerners dont know about:convinced:...its called an Exhaust Fan. We turn it on when the kitchen gets hot, and it pulls all the hot air right outside...neat, huh?:p
You gotta getcha one!:teeth:
Oh, and the best part...they go right over the stove!!

Who me????

I'm just giving out free info that could be helpful to my fellow Spoofers....
Thinking of Preco in that hot kitchen just sweating her.....Um, just all wet with sweat, all hot and stuff.........What was the question again???:druel:
 
The air is hotter on the ceiling. If the fan is blowing air toward the floor, it will be blowing the hottest air in the room down into the center of the room.
If the fan is blowing toward the ceiling, it will force the hotter air to the perimeter of the room, and will also VERY slightly reduce the air pressure at floor level, allowing cooler air (which is near the floor) to come in through the door(s) from other room(s).

Now, about you lying on the glass table looking up at the ceiling fan......................................:claps:

:) lift air up - Counterclockwise
pull air down- Clockwise

On my fans (two Hunter and one Hampton Bay) it's the opposite -- counterclockwise pushes air down, which is the manufacturers' recommended summer setting to cool a room.
