The electric fan was one of the most important electric inventions of all time. The fan is a building block of other more advanced technologies. Electric fans are the invention of American electrical engineer Schuyler Skaats Wheeler. Based on Tesla and Edisons work on electricity, he designed the first fan in 1882. It consisted of two propellers attached to an electric motor and had no protective cage. In 1910, the first electric fan for household use was introduced by Westinghouse. The fans were typically made from brass, up until World War I, when brass became scarce because it was used for ammunition. General Electric made a huge step in making the fans quieter by developing overlapping blades in the 1920s. By contrast, Most Modern fans are made primarily with plastic and lesser materials.
