Aim it
The head follows your cursor. Point it at the results column and hold, and the blocks lift, spin and end up jammed against whatever wall you were pointing at. Move on and they drop.
Speed one is a breeze that barely shifts the footer chips. Speed three clears the frame in about four seconds. Oscillate leaves it sweeping on its own, which slowly destroys the page while you do nothing, and is the setting most people forget to turn off.
Why a fan at all
Because searching google fan gets you people who like the company, so somebody built the appliance as a joke and it stuck. That is where crazy google fan, real google fan, the ultimate google fan and meet the real google fan all come from. It also gets typed as googlefan, goggle fan and gogle fan, which search quietly corrects.
Mechanically it is google gravity with one extra rule: only what sits inside the cone gets pushed, and the push fades with distance. The google fan trick is that simple.
Two things worth doing
- Aim straight up and hold. Everything hovers, wobbles, then drops the moment you move.
- Switch the fan off, drag the whole layout into one corner by hand, then hit speed three.
The blades here take up nearly half the height of the frame, because a fan drawn the size of a favicon is not much of a joke. If you want a force you cannot aim, the black hole easter egg pulls instead of pushing and clears the screen faster.
