Sorry to confuse. Clarification, yes, the clutches use the heat to thermally adjust the drag inside the unit.
The more heat, the more drag, which increases RPM output of the fan as a percentage of input based on the design. I'd say like a torque converter but those do not change based on heat, just rpm. The fan clutch uses bimetalic device internally to increase or decrease the friction. i say internally but some have that round springy looking device on the face of a clutch, thats what moves and adjusts the friction. Truck clutches have a higher "lock up" percentage than auto clutches. Truck clutches will move more air when they get hot than passengers fans, upwards of 90% of the motor rpm. The plastic fan is used on the smaller 4 liter motor and has the lower duty clutch, only locking up to provide about 70% of the engine RPM.
On the fan blade design of odd or even, its most likely to control noise, not vibration. If they had even blade numbers the fan would be noisier.
