The purpose of a fan is to move air around. But what if there was no air? The Action Lab (previously at Neatorama) put a small fan in a vacuum chamber to find out. Since we can't see air moving around, he added styrofoam pellets, which started acting weird due to static electricity. The fan would act on the pellets, but only when they came in contact with the fan (or bounced off each other), because there was no wind pushing them around like in the real world. Cool. -via Digg
