Actually the limit on rotational velocity would be defined by the fan radius. Eg, if the fan diameter is larger than 1m, the tip of the blade will be going faster than 5.7% the speed of light.
I think the air star’s becoming hot again.
A fan diameter of 7.6cm. Nice.

Incorrectly?
rot_speed = 4294967296 rpm
c = 299792458 m/s
prop_speed_of_light = 0.057
tip_speed_actual = c * prop_speed_of_light
radius = tip_speed_actual / (rot_speed)(60 sec/1 min)(2π)
radius ≈ 11 µm
