There are two types, the electric and the belt driven. I refer to the latter. If you go to an auto parts store you will see that the propellers are not symetrical, in fact, one open angle which the air passes thru is larger than the other angles. However, the electric fan blades are symmetrical. It must have something to do with blowing air or sucking air, electric or belt driven, but doesn't seem to make sense. This is rare, except for mixing blades, which may have one blade with an open hole for better mixing, or alternative blades with an open hole. Regards, Bob
