Sitting at the computer in the summer, many people begin to choke from the heat, well, if there is air conditioning, but after all, it is not always convenient to turn it on. In this article we will tell you how to make a USB fan with your own hands, from the motor, cooler and a small engine. Let us show the manufacturing process and step-by-step instructions, select the two most simple and efficient ways.
Make a fan using a computer cooler
To make a fan at home and not strain at all, we found this way on the network. It will take no more than 20 minutes to make the entire manufacturing process, you can use old coolers or just buy a new one, the price of them is now kopeck.
First, begin to prepare the cooler, it has two wires: red and black. With each wire, removal isolation by 10 mm, there is even a device for removing isolation. The size of the cooler does not play a special role, of course, better if it is large, the wind stream will eventually get stronger.
We begin the preparation of Yusb wires, for this cut off one half at the site of the main cut and remove all the insulation. We will have four wires: two black and two red, they are also cleaned. If there are other wires of green or white on the cooler cut them, they only interfere. Learn how to make a thermoelectric generator with your own hands.
In the end, you need to connect wires with each other, methods can be somewhat, the main thing is remembering for the color marking. Do not forget to isolate everything, the more isolation, the better. For convenience, the finished cooler can be installed in the usual box of their shoes, so it will be more stable.
So we are offered to make a fan from the cooler guys in the video. The method is actually a simple, strong blowing we do not promise, but it will be much more pleasant to work at the computer.

How to make a USB fan with your own hands using a motor
So, to make a fan from a disk motor and USB we will need more time, but the fan of this type will look better. Each person can make such a device, the main thing to show a little desire and patience.
First of all, we must make a blade for our fan, we recommend using the usual CD disc, it looks great, and make it quite simple. Also read an interesting article where we make a laser level.
- On the disk we do 8 identical marks, and cut everything on them.
- Then heat the disk and wipe all the blades in the right direction. To warm up the disk enough to use the usual lighter, the blades bent carefully, do something wrong - you have to buy a new disk.
- Now we go to the base of the fan itself, it is best to take the cardboard and bend it into three parts, or a cardboard base, for example, the food film is wrapped up.
- To the disc glue special fastening.
- The base of the case is making more stable, you can attach a regular disk.
- I hide all the wires, one withdraw (for connecting to the network).
- Fresh a motor into a paper tube and immediately brapping it to the base.
- Fresh blade to the engine.
- Now connect the wires from the motor with the Yusb cable, as described above.
- This is the result as a result, if desired, the cardboard base can be painted or somehow decorate.
Here are the guys with a video show really cool way. You can make a similar way from paper, but remember, the paper should be thick, optimally use the cardboard.
