Ceiling fan is a fan suspended from the ceiling of the room with paddles mounted on the hub that rotates giving a circulation of air. The original ceiling fan has only two blades. The first appearance of ceiling fan was in 1860’s and 1870’s in United States. During those times, the ceiling fan was not yet powered by any type of electricity instead they used a stream of running water in combination with turbine which turn the blades of two-blade fan units.
The electric ceiling fan was invented by Philip Diehl in 1882. In the same year, he adapted to use electric motor for the ceiling fan that he engineered for the Singer sewing machine. The ceiling fan invented by Diehl was known as “The Diehl Electric Fan”. He continued to improve his invention.
