description Handheld Manual Fan Overview

A handheld manual fan is a primitive cooling tool that is technically 'efficient' in that it requires zero energy to operate. It is useful in emergency situations or extreme heat where no power is available. However, it is extremely inefficient in terms of human effort; the amount of energy expended by the user to generate a breeze is disproportionate to the cooling effect. It is included here as a comparison for low-tech, low-efficiency tools that rely entirely on manual labor.
