Better weight distribution and more stability
No it won't. It'll vary inversely as the square of the separation.

Explanation:
Efficiency is defined as the ratio between the useful output over the total amount consumed. 
The fan does 500W of useful work while wasting 300 W. The total power consumption is 800 W (500 + 300).
Imagine an object is moving in one dimension on a number line, and for this we'll say that the numbers on the line are a metre apart. If the object moves from 2 m to 7 m, the change in position is 7-2=+5 metres. But if the object moves back from 7 m to 2 m, the change in position is 2-7=-5 metres. since

, and time is always positive, velocity will be positive in one direction and negative in the other direction.
