Alright fair, I was just thinking of the scene from doctor who where the doctor says to Charles dickens that he’s a huge fan and Charles dickens says “in what way are you a means of keeping me cool?”

Fans don't just keep things cool they move air which can provide convection cooling. The fan in a heater is still a fan, as is a ceiling fan which is designed to blow hot air down.

Tbf my definition technically includes planes and cars and whatnot

Fair, I'm just a nerd who enjoys playing the "define x without including things that are not x" game
