Answer: motion energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The motor will convert electricity (from a wall outlet or from batterires) into motion of the fan blades which will blow (move) air.

Motion energy is a type of mechanical energy. Mechanical energy includes kinetic (motion) energy and potential energy.


Some of the energy will not be converted into motion energy as some sound energy and thermal energy (heat) will evolve too. That is considered wasted energy as it is not used.
