How does a table fan work?

Question

In a table fan, the blades move around in circular way and we feel air/wind when sitting on front of it. How does this happen?

The blades are at an angle. As the blade moves down it hits an air molecule and the air molecule "bounces off" toward you.
It's just like hitting a ball in tennis/baseball

Due to the rotational motion of the blades a pressure variation is created and the air blows.
