Why the direction of rotation of table and ceiling fan is different?

Actually ceiling fan can be designed to move either clockwise or anticlockwise direction.It all depend on whether they are set for winter or summer. A switch or extra connection may be needed to get both direction which has only one type of... direction.


For Summer they are so set so that the air moves downward to make us cool--- clockwise

For winter(when the air is cool) the air should move toward the ceiling to take away the cool air from us to give us comfort--- anticlockwise

The direction of rotation of a table fan is determined by the shape of the blades. A motor can be made to run in either direction but to force air to the front of the table fan, it must rotate in the direction that the blades will force the air properly.
