Art from scrap.
Small fans for fun
Caution.
The presentation is humorous
Okay !!!!
The title is a
trap !!!!
So you will notice it and maybe say Bravo and have some applause. !!!
Applause. !!
The artist's
bread. !!!
Now surely some of you will smile.
I'm not an artist. Sometimes I just like to make new things out of old and useless items. Give them a new life.
So I opened up this issue in order to introduce you to some small fans of useless materials and minimal expenses.
One day my sister decided to get rid of an old PC tower she had and gave me some accessories before throwing it into recycling. Eventually I kept 3 fans with the thought of making something.
So with some old
pendulum gears, some
plexiglass pieces,
wooden handles from some barbecue iron forks, aluminum
antenna TV tubes, a little 1.5mm thick
steel wire, 2 metal
fast connectors from p/c, one
aluminium spinner from a r/c plane, half a kilo of
black dust on hands and clothes from the boring and polishing of aluminum, 10 pounds of
imagination and almost
2 weeks of work (1-2 hours a day). And of course coffee and cigarettes (free of charge).
The materials were unique so no mistake should be made. What bothered me was being able to center the gears on the 2 pieces of plexiglass since they didn't turn around with a half-millimeter gap. I did 3 tests until I finally did it, drilled and drilled again. So by turning the gear reducer this turns the larger gear and this in turn lowers or lifts the fan so we have an adjustable airflow angle (up or down). The pinion and plexiglass block rests on the 2 wooden bases and, of course, with the lever support of a wire rod. The 12 volt power supply is via the 2 wires that hold it in suspension.
Complicated but functional.
Didn't have a 12 volt power adapter, so I used an old phone charger.
But if some people love you then your life becomes more comfortable.
A friend built and sent me a power adapter - so now the little fan is ready.
