Why does a ceiling fan have only 3 blades?
Fans can have any number blades--even one! (but then you need a counterweight for balance). There are airplanes that have one blade for a propeller. There are many variables that figure into how many blades a fan has. Air velocity, noise, shape of the blade, length of the blade, material cost, vibration, etc. For airplanes sometimes they change 2-bladed propellers for three or four or more to get different flying characteristics.
Will a hair dryer suck instead of blow if the fan blade is turned around?
A: That will be true ONLY if the blades have a pitch to it

Why do windmills turn clockwise in Ireland?
A windmill turns because the blades face into the wind and are pitched (twisted) so that the air passing onto the blades pushes the blade around the pivot point. If the blade is pitched one way, the windmill will turn to CCW. If they are pitched the other way, it will turn CW.= There may be a convention or tradition or popular design in Ireland that pitches the blades so it turns CW.=

What will happen if the ceiling fan contains six blades?
These days with most fans being installed with variable speeds the difference between 4,5 or 6 blades is mostly an aesthetic thing and air movement is similar with all styles. Blade dimensions (length) seem to make the most difference, and the distance from the ceiling.
