Hack A Can Into A Fan - DIY Cool Breeze - USB Or Battery

FREE project from FREE parts! Make an amazing fan using your favorite drink can. Want a cooling fan at your desk, a fan to make a breeze in the workshop or maybe a fan that is portable so you can put it anywhere you need to remove a bad smell. This build is perfect for all of the above and best of all, I made it using all recycled and repurposed parts. Upcycle your disposables!

Included in the video: multiple material options, using different power sources, & several ways to connect wires (solder-free wiring demonstrated). I also show how to use an old USB cable to power your fan from a computer or a USB wall wart. Great project for fun or function... Yes, it does work very well!

WARNING: working on electronics carries certain risks. If you deconstruct any electronic device, then you are doing so at your own risk. This fan has exposed blades which can be sharp. Be Very careful when running this fan; keep all body parts away from moving pieces and keep out of reach of little children. While I mention some safety considerations in the video you really need to do your own research to ensure that you are fully informed and comfortable with what you are doing. Choose the safety techniques that work best for you.
