Kipas

Kipas biasanya merupakan alat yang memiliki permukaan datar dan lebar yang diayunkan ke depan dan ke belakang untuk menciptakan aliran udara. Kipas yang sering dijumpai dan banyak diproduksi adalah kipas lipat, yang berbentuk seperti setengah lingkaran dan terbuat dari bahan tipis (seperti kertas atau bulu) yang dipasang pada bilah yang berputar di sekitar poros sehingga dapat ditutup ketika tidak di pakai.

Pada kulit manusia, aliran udara dari kipas akan meningkatkan penguapan, yang memiliki efek pendinginan dari panas laten penguapan air. Kipas juga juga meningkatkan konveksi panas dengan menggantikan udara hangat yang dihasilkan oleh panas tubuh yang mengelilingi kulit, yang memiliki efek pendinginan tambahan, asalkan suhu udara di lingkungan sekitar lebih rendah dari suhu kulit, suhu kulit manusia biasanya sekitar 33 °C (91 °F). Kipas nyaman untuk dibawa-bawa, terutama kipas lipat.
