Which way does your ceiling fan spin? Is it clockwise or counter-clockwise? Haha. Think twice about it. I got in an argument with my parents about it. I always look at ceiling fan with the part closest to me (if I stand, say 5 feet from it) as being the "12 o'clock" position. Kind of like taking a clock off the wall and placing it upside down so I can still read the time. Anyway, this is a rather pointless post but I want to know !

Well, that would be true if you were looking down at it, though I don't know why you'd desire that vantage point.
You are right. I had an argument with some people that the fan was spinning clockwise. They thought I was stupid... but then I showed them their way was if they were looking down on the fan, which to me does not make sense. They need to work on visualization, because I actually had to get a clock down to show them. All I was saying is that either way you say it is spinning, I can argue it is the other way Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
mainly clockwise.. but it has a bit of a jiggle so we rarely turn it on, and when we do i dont go near it. lol
Mine is clockwise. At night mine will start making an annoying noise. It really pisses me off when I am just about to fall asleep and all the sudden "clink clink clink clink....". I know where the problem is, I just cannot find a way to fix it Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! James Sibley
A reply In the summer you want to keep the fan turning counterclockwise to pull the cooler air up from the bottom of the room. In the winter you should reverse the direction so that it sucks the warmer air from the top of the room.
Looking up at my fan, it appears to spin counter-clockwise. Of course, if one were so inclined to look down on it from the top instead, it would seem to go clockwise.
Clockwise and counterclockwise depend on your point of view. A fan spinning counter-clockwise, as seen from below, spins clockwise when viewed from above. Physicists get around this problem by defining spin as a vector which points in a particular direction decided by convention. (The convention is called the "right hand rule".)
