    Can your fan do this?

    Ok, so I was bored but I still thought it was funny my fan could do that...

    The fan used was an old Nidec Beta SL 90mm fan running at 12 volts

    man u must have been bored. lol



    I wanna try a similar stupid trick with my case, U2-UFO.
    I wonder if I put high quality / low friction casters on it, if it can push ITSELF accross the floor.

    That would be hilarious at a LAN.

    it's strange, it's a great fan, running at 5v it's dead silent but still moves a lot of air

    That is one sick fan!! I have a Sunon 120x38MM that can push itself too, but not nearly as fast. That thing would work wonders on an XP-90/XP-90C.

    Better idea! Use it as a blender! lol
    <eMesreveR>Do "girls" ever appear outside the Internet? Can i randomly encounter them?
    <Aleph-One>I believe they are a fabrication. Most of the evidence would suggest that they were created in a studio during the Cold War to display our industrial superiority over the Soviet Union.

    I can't use lego wheels, they would break under the weight of the damn thing . Still trying to find something strong enough with wheels.

    ah think the crazy fan on my xp-90c is a Nidec. I scrapped it from the a Dell and took off the thermistor and the thing is sooooo powerful. I dunno what it is but there's some really smooth (and dam powerful!!! even at really slow speeds its cut up my skin) bearings inside it so its quiet even when pushing lots of air.

    When i hold it running at 12v and wiggle it slightly it starts pushing my hand back, crazy..

    edit: these are them..

    cheap too!

    found a 120 version of yours: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nidec-Beta-SL-...QQcmdZViewItem
