    That poor fan is just waiting to tear itself apart.

    Why don’t you turn on the fan then lock the door, and call it “the Schrodinger’s room”. Quantum mechanics says that after a while, the fan is both functioning and broken, spinning in an endless dance of probability.

      You will likely hear the fan tear itself apart from outside of the room, such an event is absolutely loud enough to be heard from outside the door, plus the fact that the little bits of fan that are left afterwards will probably continue spinning and likely bumping into the ceiling (if it’s hanging from the wires).

      Yeah, I am very sure the bearings on a fan are not designed to withstand side loads
