Only problem is DUDE IS CLAIMING BS TO YOU !!! Its not how it works, i see you too learn physics fromn Tik Tok

His above 😅

Happy to help!

*woot woot*

You are very welcome!

You are very welcome!

So what does that mean if it's spinning to the right is that for Winter and spinning to the left for summer Clockwise Winter counter clockwise summer is that right?

@@deliafrye1344 yes

it doesn't matter. the fan is circulating, and thereby mixing, the same amount of air in either direction.

It should be the same as told in the video.

That's the way I see it, too. Video doesn't make sense. I can feel the breeze in the summer with my counter clockwise, though. My Hunter ceiling fan switch is positioned to the right.

Are you sure you’re watching the video the right way?? Is the guy giving the demo standing to the left of the fan pretty much the whole time? He is on my video and his explanation is correct. But if for some reason your video is inverted, I can understand the confusion. Truly curious.

​@@justinwaite4932I'm watching it the way it IS. So you're saying at those timestamps you see the opposite?

Yep, someone has their clockwise/counterclockwise backwards.

It could appear that way to you because of two issues: 1. You are looking at the rotation from a different perspective. He might be looking at it bottom-up, and you, top-down. 2. The video recording camera might have mirrored the video. So while you both may be referring to the same perspective, the video just appears the opposite.

Do that during the day and open his window during the night

Yeah, if all the doors and windows are closed, you are basically just mixing the air inside the house- like a blender.

As a heating tech I agree.

I have the same question. In the vid it shows the direction spinning to the LEFT, looking at it from the side . Look at the person speaking, and the fan behind him as he says summer should be airflow down with fan blades moving counterclockwise...but to me, what shows is the blades moving to the left, which to me is " clockwise". I feel the air coming down when the blades are moving to the left. Also after 4 years, I see an arrow on my thermostat...it points UP or DOWN, and it's adjustable. Lol lol lol. Duh.

You are right. No wonder everybody is confused.

While looking up at the fan, it should be spinning counter clockwise in the summer.

The hot air *isn't* near the floor. It's already at the ceiling. The fans just distributes the hotter air already at the ceiling, and some of it gets pushed downwards along the walls to the ground.

Just turn the fan off. 😅

@@debbiejohnson7758 But I'm hot and it's winter 😂😂😂

actually you are a good case for it try it but wait 15 or 20 minutes to allow the air mixing to take effect

Looks like you have it right

I'm confused because all the videos including this one looks to me like the blades are spinning to my right or clockwise as the dial heads go right around and winter it shows his blades are going backwards or left which is counter clockwise so help me out

@@danyell4870 In this video, 0:48 shows it spinning counter clockwise for summer. At 1:15, it is shown spinning clockwise for winter.

True, but there differences in the intermediate action. Nothing happens with air quality; that is pure mixing. Winter: (especially with high ceilings) It puts the buoyant warm air down to person level. Summer: One feels the air velocity and effects of evaporative cooling.

Propeller fans tend to blow air in a cone pattern, with most of the air coming off the last quarter of the blade, roughly in a 45 degree angle outward. Yeah, depending on geometry, I'd not be surprised if you didn't feel as much directly below the hub of the fan. The further away from the fan, the more the air evens out into a uniform mass.

Summer = Counterclockwise; Winter = Clockwise

@@tchrisou812 Not always. Some fans are just the reverse. You have to look at the tilt of the blade to tell.

@@petem6503 True, but I have found that when people aren't well versed in whatever, it helps to explain in generalities. If we're being honest what percentage of people do you think would understand your method, apply it if they do or care enough to implement it?

Well, if the tilt of the blade is a cipher, you can always just turn the fan on and see if it blows air in your face. My point is that there are differences in fans, and if the object is to optimize their use, it's not that hard to understand how. That's the whole point of sharing information.

@@marie2511, winter or summer?

summer months: you want the air to blow directly on you, which has a cooling effect on your skin without changing the temperature of the air. winter months: you want to get the cool air off the ground and circulate it with the warm air on the ceiling to even the temperature in the room.

@@calebsw - only if you are directly under and near the fan, a cheep floor fan is more efficient as it is moving cooler floor air and not hot ceiling air.

@@littlefish1069, short answer, yes it is trading places. Longer answer using the example of a dinette or dining room. In summer you want the draft to cool you off, push down. Add a festive decorative bowl of ice cubes to taste. In the winter pull up the warmer air over your body. When it hits the ceiling it spreads out and creeps down the walls warming them, especially exterior walls and in the case of central heating is sucked through the cold air vent to be reheated by the furnace. Add a dose of Christmas sweaters to taste. Of course depending on where you hang your hat, common sense may have you doing something else.

What is going on with people.. I'm getting so frustrated and confused. I don't want to think anyone is wrong but all the videos seem to be wrong.. Cold air is below. Hot air is above. If the blades are moving the air up it will separate hot air from the cold making the room cooler. Exact opposite as explained in the video

Neither one changes the overall temperature of the room per se. Downward draft in the summer allows you to feel cooler. A pleasant breeze. A bowl of ice or freezer packs underneath will help too. However while it starts out blowing warmer air down at the same time it is pushing/pulling marginally cooler air up the walls of the room and down onto you until the temperature is balanced. In the winter pulling air off the floor pushes warmer air to the edges of the room and down the walls warming them. This circulation makes the temperature of the room more even.

He said "without actually changing the ambient temperature." It's all about how it makes you feel. You are correct about warm air being near the ceiling, but once fan has run for a while, the air gets mixed, so that won't really apply anymore. Also, if you are running AC, it helps push down cool air from ceiling registers. He mentions being able to cut back on AC setting. That being said, since the benefit is only the "feeling," running a ceiling fan in an empty room in summer is useless.

Nope.

Yeah, I started to listen to this closely and started thinking, wait a minute that doesn't sound right! He has it backwards and he says it with such confidence with numbers to back up his EXACTLY WRONG video. But I did find out about the switch, I don't recall other fans I've had having one.

Top of the clock (12) is side nearest you; bottom of clock (6) is other side of fan. So yeah, the video describes the directions correctly.

No. He's correct.

Wrong answer!

@@akwolf1434 EASY FIX? You need to -- clarify with the solution . Thx!

@@mjg3272 bro it doesnt matter! a clock can switch 6 and 12 and clockwise and counter clockwise is still the same rotation.... why are you people so stupid and why are you typing this on every comment!?

1:18 that is no way clockwise for warmer in winter lol 0:49 summer counter clockwise lol

nonsense, it works quite well. All you are trying to to is gently mix and circulate the air and gain a more even temp. In our house with high ceilings the warmth pools near the ceiling and using the fan this way distributes the heated air and provides more warmth at human level.

@@yarpos I started my career in HVAC in '72, working for a fan manufacturer, then as a Professional Engineer (mechanical), then contractor. So what I learned: penetration and mixing of air streams is pretty much "all about velocity". The inlet side of a fan generally has very low velocity because the air spreads across the whole inlet. The outlet is characterized by fairly narrow bands--or circles--of relatively high velocity at the tips of the fan blades. This means that the inlet side of the fan has almost no penetration. Typically (there are many variations) upward flow from a ceiling fan creates a warm air volume in the room that extends from the ceiling to about 6--12" below the fan inlet. This can be (depending) as low as head or shoulders on an adult. The room operates with a "thermocline" (barrier between hot and cold air). Usually, a seated person is in the cold zone. While you can argue that the upper zone is more comfortable, we tend not to live in that zone. Also, the air velocity upwards reduces the still air thermal insulating barrier at the ceiling (still air insulates better than moving air), which actually increases heat loss through the ceiling; the net effect varies with the amount of ceiling insulation. So, running the fan in UP won't (usually) improve temperature mixing or comfort. Running the fan in DOWN makes for much better air mixing, but the resulting velocity (and skin evaporative cooling) is not comfortable for most. We don't run our ceiling fans during the winter at all. [Of course, here in Central AZ "winter" is a debatable term!]

@@ashleyelizabethyelton Heat does rise from a person, but at such a low velocity (low energy differential) that the upward motion can be disturbed by almost any other air motion. [Tech note: look up "displacement cooling design": intended to create a near-floor, 5' high cold zone without any air motion so that all heat would rise. Turned out to be much more difficult in practice than you'd think.] Yup, there are times air velocity isn't convenient; I turn off my shop fan when I'm gluing wood or finishing.

Oh no, a Fan Nazi

No

Um no

Good Afternoon, Can I assist you today? Thank you,

Doesn’t it also depend on the pitch of your blades?

Top of the clock (12) is side nearest you; bottom of clock (6) is other side of fan. So yeah, the video describes the directions correctly.

I noticed that too.....

Good Morning, I would like to assist with your service needs. Can you please provide the covered full covered address?

Your eyes may be playing tricks on you (even members of our team see different directions). Try to picture yourself lying on the floor, staring up at your ceiling fan. That should help with seeing the correct direction of the fan!

@@HomeServeUSA we are.... you people just arent educated in anything other than fans and nonsense.... go to school.... if you look at the bottom (side closest to you) and the fan goes left... its clockwise. Just the same way that if that was 6 o clock 7 is to the left. If you stare at the top of the fan (blade furthest away) and it goes right (like 12 o clock to 1 o clock) its clockwise as well. Your video shows a clockwise spin.

i hope this is a joke. he clearly shows you the switch is on the fan itself. the remote control has nothing to do with it. do you know how to tell time using a clock? if so you should know what clock wise means. counter clockwise would be the opposite of clock wise lol. you do not have to know where 12 o clock is and it does not matter if you are looking up or down at it, it will be the same either way.
