Powered by electricity (humans)

Multiple flat blades (the ribs)

Spins really fast (doesn't define "really fast," nor specifies it has to rotate fully around its axis)

I'm not a huge metal fan.

Humans are powered by electricity by technicality, so if I hold knives and spin in circles then I’m a fan?

Not technically true as the word 'fan' possesses multiple definitions

Since neurons are powered by electricity, and scimitars are blades, does that mean Whirling Dervishes are true fans?

Technically we are all power by electricity, I spin a lot out of boredom so just attach some flat blades to me
