very simple usb fan
The perfect diy instructions exactly when I need them! Thanks a lot 😊
Quick and easy...just what I was looking for. Thanks!
you are the best! i did not know it was this easy. i thought i would need a driver or something. you made me feel like tesla bro. thanks.
Fast and simple. No complicated tools off the Amazon or someplace else. I'll save this for later. I've got a couple of PC fans to spare and risk for this project because I'm a total noob on this.
out of curiosity, did you ever do this in the end?
Thanks now I can dry my weed faster.

that's the idea I was thinking
Fuck ya same

Hahaha!!!!
Thanks for the great and simple video. I just spliced a 120mm pc fan to an accessory usb cable (red-red/black-black) and using a Blu 1.0a 5v Usb phone charger adapter is working great, spins as fast as the pc would. Using it for low cost exhaust :) working as planned! I'm sure any usb a/c adapter should work as long as the amps and volts are higher rated on the adapter then the fan, which the 120mm I'm using is 0.16a @ 1.0v so in theory could link up to 5 possibly. But that's for another day :)
I thought if the adapter output has more voltage than the fan, it would cause problems?
@@twentytwo138 if its rater at 12V well at like 14/15 it could cause problems, but i have seen people getting noctua fans to 17V. Its just how good the fan (motor) is.
someone had my idea 8 years ago but i had no idea how to execute it
i didnt realize it was this simple, this should help with cooling my laptop as it gets really hot, thanks!
Lol i am using for the same reason!
So does basically adding the wires together is enough? I mean they won't be disconnected due to movement?
@@ARHAYEMXDso what you do my dude is cut off the plastic from the wires and twist those together do thisfor both use the tape and it will not disconnect (or if you have saudering iron you can just do that)
Might seem silly, but i bought a big square ice pack that i literally sit my laptop on when im using it, works like a magic charm. Performance is so much better now. I just keep a towel with a aluminum foil in between to block wetness
Cool I’m out of power pins on my motherboard and rgb controllers are too confusing this just might be what I need thanks a lot 🎉❤
Thankyou for this. Now I know how to run power inline on my LEDS. always wanted to know how to use USB cords for power.
Thanks for keeping it simple, love it👍
Woke up this morning to find my cable modem had completely shut down. No led blinking lights.
I thought I would have to buy another modem.
I unplugged the modem, waited a few minutes, then plugged it back in, but still no blinking leds.
I left it unplugged for about 30 minutes, this time it powered up and eventually got it working.
I noticed later the modem was getting very warm.
I thought about where I had placed the modem as it was sitting on top of a pvr cable box which also gets warm. The weather has been hot and muggy in my area and i don't have an air conditioner.
I thought about buying a small fan to allow air to circulate around my media cabinet.
Then I thought why not make my own.
So for the interim, the modem is sitting on top of a DIY USB computer tower fan just like the one in the video.
The modem now feels cool to the touch.
Super nice now i can install this into my props!
Thanks. I've been looking for this.
Thanks man , fillnaly I used my old fan , it's 💯% working
Thank you for helping I was in great problem
Thanks for making it so simple!
did this yesterday as an extractor fan for my 3d printers - joy ♥
for those with yellow cables connect red to yellow black to black
I literally cant tell you how thankful i am i was like "WTF I have no red wire " Thank you so much
What if you have red and yellow?
yea i thinking the same thing
thanks my dude
I have a red green and white wires
Was thinking this is what I was going to do today and here it was! Drilling some holes into my Bell Satellite TV box and adding a fan cause my TV Box heats up next to the fireplace and freezes the channel guide. Hopefully I've found my solution!
thanxxx.... bro.
your famula is 100% success full
Thanks, dude!!! Really good!!
This actually worked! Thank you :)
Tnx dude , respect from Algeria 👏👏🎉
thanks! I had a fan where the yellow wire was not attached to the fan circuit board, anymore but it still had the black and red wires. When I cut an old USB cable it had red and white wires, but I connected the red to red and white to black and it worked perfectly. I've no idea how you managed to connect the wires just by pushing them into the black plastic connecter thing though...I had to pop them out with a pin, stick the USB wires through the plastic box, wrap them around the end of the fan wires and crimp them, then gently pull it all back into the connector box. It worked though
Thnx much bro i liked and sub
My laptop internal fan was not working so thnx
It's working 100%. Thanks.
I put the fan up my shirt now i have a mini aircon keeping me cool while i game thanks for the simple solution
Lol
thanks now may idea na ako kung paano ko papaganahin yung fan para sa content na gagawin... patapik na din bro
you life saver .great job
Thanks man! Worked like a charm. One small step closer to my grow box \o/
haha thats what im here for
@@noahb5334 me too!!
loser
I did it..Thank you so much🌷🌷
Great! I have a bunch of fans lying around and my PS5 gets really hot in its cabinet. I'm gonna cut a hole in the back for a fan and power it by the PS5 so it should be able to stay cool more easily
What's the best Fan' Size for this project?
Maybe a 140mm fan is too big for a usb cable.
really heplful thanks alot man.
I tried and i made it. Thats was fun...😍😍😍
Thanks, now I can cool down my brain.
Perfect thank you.
SmokinG WeED got me Here 😂
Buen trabajo. Gracias por compartir
Best video on this so far
I had made it. I added a voltage Booster module between the connections. Because the CPU fan is rated for 12 volts. It won't run on full speed with USB 5 volts....😀😁😂😃😄😅😉😉
VERY HELPFUL!
:)
easier than i thoth, thaenks for sharing
That is a brushless fan (hence the 3 wires) so get a electronic speed controller for the fan it will run more efficiently.
More like use an nano arduino and connect fan to it, make a mini case for it and put some potenciometers
@@CreeperSlenderman for a freaking fan? No thank you
It worked!!Thx!!!
Thanks a lot mate!
Thank you for the great video!
does it makes a difference if u use usb 1.0 plug or 2.0 etc?
bhai boht shukria
Thanks for the vid.
thank's. broo.. great
Thank you thank you thank you!!!
if you have an adapter that you dont use that has 12v output, you can just cut and tap it, instead of plugging into your pc or laptop which uses a much needed usb slot specially when you have multiple devices want to connect.
But will it run at full rpm if i do that?
how cool! just had the idea lol
Thanks bro it works really thanks
thank you so much bro.....
which fan is this and how thick is it? i have a project that i need a fan that is the same or similar to this.
Can i use any type of Pc case fan? Incuding the 120x120 size? Planning to use this as a ventillator for my Coinslot operated computer.
Most computer fans are 12V and USB has a max of 5V so it will run slower. Best to find a 5V case fan.
thank you man very much
i made a small fire
How 😳?
I made 2 of these and didn’t get that did you connect the wires wrong?
Create a second fan and blow it out
Sweet man!
TX for the hack my friend!!! :D
Thnks man ❤️🔥
Do you know how to split fan power and led power? I want to undervolt to 7v without the leds losing light.
Is it can do to fan case into a cooling pad for laptop?
Thanks for this
I have a 140mm fan its says on back 1.40A will this usb lead will. Provide enough power?
Check on the voltage of the fan. You'll want a 5V to get the maximum speed. Most computer fans are rated at 12V so it will run slower.
Hello,if the fan is constantly connected to a 12v adapter.Is it going to burn or something?
I was going to do this for a ventilation system for my DIY battery box
Jai bharat jai hind, thanks brother I need this help for putting a computer fan in my incubator.
I got question, can I make one of these but have the fan only kick on when temperature gets to a particular temperature inside a small closet? Reason I ask is bc remodeling my house I am going put router modem in closet and want make a vent in there for heat to escape but want put fans like this in there this might work but dont want it to be running 24/7 Thanks I like this idea
Yes you can but that requires alot more effort you need a micro controller or like some kind of thermostat that detects the temperature and then sends a signal to turn it on. All of that requires will require more power then a 5 volt USB port can ever supply
How many fans can you run like this I trying to set up a copper cooling for my still water
Ok first things first if you are using a Android cable and you have blue red brown and green
If you hook the green to green you can control fan speeds on your pc If you hook blue to black that will be the ground wire
Then red to red and your good to go and if you are wondering what is the green wire the green wire is the D+ wire aka Data.
Is it gonna working if I use extension cable between them?
How to make on off switch for this,? As of now, we have to remove usb cable to switch off or turn turn off power mains if using usb charger.
AWESOME!!!
What does direct usb volts do for the fan speed? Will it be default at maximum or less?
I assume it depends on the fan, some fans are only rated to 5v etc whereas some are rated for 12v, since USB only gives off 5v of power then a 12v fan would more or less be slower than normal or at a "quiet" setting.
very very nice than kou video
My fan has four wires, blue, green, yellow, and black, and my USB has red, white, green black. Which ones do I connect? Obviously black-to-black and green-to-green, but what of the other colors?
Yellow to red and black to back that all u need
i have a question can i use a motorola usb charge but my fan requires a 12 v and the usb charger is 5.6 v ....thanks alot for ur info
Ernie Zamora yes you can use that charger
Thanks, excellent
Thanks!
thank you
hmm... a usb port outputs 5 volts but a pc fan needs 12 volts. With this method you're using only 40-50% of the whole power, that the fan could create....
Vartax It will spin quiter though
Kota dala haramy
@@clashwithstrong7780It will cool the PC a bit, but maybe not enough, i use one to give my laptop a bit of extra cooling
Some can use 5 volts and some usb port can put out 1.5 amps so even if it's 12 volt fan it may try to to make up for it by pulling more amps but that causes things to heat up I don't think it will be enough heat or amps to do smh since it's still a usb 5v port.
Use 19 volt laptop charger it runs superfast
THANK UUUUUUU!!!!!!!
good to know...... now I can hopefully do the same thing here with a pc power supply and two or three extra pc fans to stop my rasp pi from ever showing that overheating icon ever again... and make a cool case while doing it. but one question what if there's pink, blue black wires instead of red black yellow as shown in the video...
thanks guys for u information
Will it spin faster if instead of 1 usb cable i connect two to the fan? I mean with 1 is about 5 volts with two will be 10 volts right if i plug both usb connected to the fan? Will it work?
Yes 2 cables with series connection will increase the speed
tks
Brother please tell ke jo side fan ki Green wali hai wo air de rahe hai ya air suck kr rahe hai?
It is okay to connect it to cp charger direct to main power?
Can I use this method to put a extra fan inside my laptop?
Tq bro 🤗
can you control the speed of the fan? I tried and it worked but the span does not spin that fast as expected
Because USB uses 5V an the Fan needs 12V, so the speed of the Fan runs at 40-50%.
Thank You
m gona try this today and will make a vacuum cleaner
How would one go about connecting it to both a lipo battery and a USB port?
mine didnt work i connected the red to the yellow and the black to the black and it didnt start but when i tried it on another smaller fan it worked and the fan does work when i plug it into my computer plz elp
I have Nidec fan from the old computer. It has 12V DC 1.40A. Which AC Adaptor can I use? What about 1.4A, those with 1A will work or must be more than 1.4?
Better more than.
USB 2.0 standard only goes up to 5v. Can i make a cable that pulls power from two usb ports and goes to one fan?
Intel Inside while this sounds like a good idea im not so sure you wouldnt get a power surge when plugging in or unpluging the 2nd usb
