Windmills powered with Mechanical Bearings creating wind

Describe the Suggestion

If a windmill is powered with a Mechanical Bearing it should push or pull things in front of it similarly to how Mechanical Fans do so. Maybe they shouldn't be able to process items like a Mechanical Fan can, but they could at least push entities around.

Additional Context

No response

yea but the windmill panels are exactly perpendicular to the direction of rotation, whereas real fan blades are angled to push air
if anything, adding windmill panels should slow down the rotation of the contraption, because they are designed to create as much drag as possible (to catch wind and turn it into power)
sorry to nerd out on you but its not very realistic

commented

you're thinking about it wrong. should they create stress on the system? sure. But there's nothing that prevents individual windmill panels from being used as part of a fan

commented

how would they push the air in a certain direction (other than outwards) if they are not angled?
