    Happy New Year. I was posting for the benefit of the unknowing. Many times, I have heard people say, 'Turn the fan around to reverse the flow.' Doh!

      A word of warning about reversing the direction of fan rotation.
      Yes you can normally change direction simply by swapping the +ve and -ve feed to the motor. Assuming it's a simple DC motor.
      But many modern fans, particularly those with curved blades, only work efficiently in one diection. Yes they will work in reverse but nowhere near as well.

        If anyone is looking for an electric fan the one I listed in parts for sale is still on the shelf here, brand new.
