What is the best fan blade design to optimize wind production with low power?
The blades must create very little friction, as the fan is going to be powered by a water wheel. It has to be made of common household objects, and must use little power. What shape and at what angle should the blades be to create the most wind?
We are making an evaporative cooler to help people who cannot afford more expensive air-conditioning. Thank you for your help.
there are several types of designs

These are water turbines, the objective is always to recuperate as much energy as possible
the same goes with the fan
the particular design depends on how much pressure, the speed of rotation, the speed of the air flow...
no simple thing!
but worth lots of fun to experiment, good engineering
in your example you may also need some transmission to convert the speed of the water turbine as it will probably not spin fast enough for the air turbine
