Xeon Fans!


So the other day I was messing around with a few batteries and a light switch, to complete and disconnect the circuit. I used two D batteries in series with one nine volt battery to produce a total voltage of 12 volts. This is the voltage required to tun each fan. The amount of coulombs per second, or amperes is .2A which, drained my battery pretty quickly. It only took about two hours for the fan to completely drain the battery. It is a pretty big resistor because it is running a fan, and four LED lights because it has to look cool as well as perform. Though the fan wasn't very convenient because of the battery size it still worked. The potential energy started at a multiple of 12V and was used up to run the fan. This picture to the left is what it is actually used for. It connects to the heat sync which acts like a radiator and pulls hot air toward it and quickly cools it down.

Sorry about this late post :P, Thanks for reading, Mark.
