Ceiling fan blades must rotate counter-clockwise for a cooling effect. That's the direction most ceiling fans need to move to get a downdraft. Some are reversible for distributing heat down from the ceiling in the winter months.

because the pitch of the blade in a counter-clockwise rotation will push the air down.most people use this in the winter time to push the warm air on the ceiling down to where it can be felt . there is a small switch on the side of the fan that , once the fan is stopped , you can change the direction , to clock wise rotation , so that the cool air by the floor will be pulled up and pushed along the ceiling , so that when it falls it will cool the room more effectively. or it could be one of those government things that makes the fan turn counter-clock wise to emit brain control waves;)

There is a switch on the fan to rotate it clockwise and suck the air up instead of forcing it downward.

They rotate both ways clock wise to move air from the ceiling to the floor and reverse from the floor to the ceiling.

to push the air down, some fans have reverse speed that go clock wise to circulate warm air around the room

you can make them go clockwise by moving a button up and down that is above the light thing

Because they are trying to turn back the clock to another day, a day of danger and Nazis, when you didn't know who was friend or foe, and the next beautiful dame who walked in the joint could turn out to be the last one you'd ever see.

It depends on which way you want the air to go. The direction; One way pushes the air down, the other sucks the air up

most fans have a switch that lets you decide which way the blades turn
