Fan (Flaxbeard's Steam Power)

The Fan is a machine from the Flaxbeard's Steam Power mod. It is used to to push things when it is supplied with steam. It will break grass-like blocks, harvest crops, and push entities (including dropped items). The range of the Fan defaults to 9 blocks, and can be set to any range between 5 and 19 blocks, skipping all even numbers. The range can be changed by sneak-using the Pipe Wrench on it. The Fan can be oriented to push in different directions by using a Pipe Wrench on it.

If the Fan is pointed upwards, it will push everything upwards. This includes players. The player can get down by simply sneaking until they reach the bottom, or moving out from the airflow.
