Question: can we make wind during motion

Why when I move my hand faster to long distance and apply force I get more air but when I move my hand fast to shorter distance I barely get any air

The shorter the distance, the less air you move, because the volume passed by the hand is smaller.

And this is surprising, why exactly?

Maybe @Ghostinthemachine you could describe what you think should happen.

can we make wind during motion for example when I move my hands or it’s just wind disturbance and wind that is already there?

You can move air. Whether to call that ”wind” or not isn’t a physics question.
