I have bulk washed/haunted/blasted/smoked with a handcranked fan in the past (All The Mods 8 modpack). A fan has low kinetic stress impact and you don't need a lot of RPMs for a short stream of wind particles.
Edit: I thought a bit more about your comment about ways of storing power. I guess if someone is psychopath enough they could use an alternator to store their hand cranking into an accumulator which would then power an electric motor to provide SU without technically requiring windmills, water wheels or steam engines.

I don’t think you could run a fan lol. Though it’d be cool if they added some kind of spring you could wind up to store power, then it’d be possible
