How to Make a USB Fan

[mczoze1998]

DON't try this at home the fan needs 12 volts to work ,the usb out put is 5 volts it can damage your board

[BloodSpawn33]

If you touched Uranium with your bare hands you would die.

[baikoleda1]

How to die ?

1.Get a stick of Uranium

2. Swalow

3.Die

Did you know that dead people dont move ?

[DxsPro]

1:20 Black wire stripping fail

[kraigp18]

@DxsPro LMAO! i saw the same thing

[TaiopS]

Can i connect 4 120mm fan to one usb and make sure that they will all work?

[DumlieOFC]

Is it possible to connect two fans to one USB and still have them running ?

[ForTehFallenDreams]

can you do the same with an ethernet cable?

It would really help to know, Thanks

[abcccc]

LOL, it's funny because the direction the guy was pointing the fan would mean that the air would be blowing AWAY from him, not towards him!

[DarkusX99]

I'm going to Japan

[NorrisNT]

I just made one out of an old PSU fan its a little slow though :/

[Choochookung]

i want do it , for my project i ark for permission please :)

[Megafloejoe]

To JAPAN!!! I need those slippers for mah sis!

[Hayden1911]

or he can take off the long sleeved shirt :P XDDDDD

[valentass88]

smokeeeee wtf ?:D

[TeamUnkownkaz]

problem is usb fan will only run at 5v and most fans are capable of 12v D:

[welshmanc224433]

@TeamUnkownkaz Mine Are 12 Volt Ones And They Run Fine :D

[TeamUnkownkaz]

@welshmanc224433 no usb ports doesnt give of 12volts. ur fan maybe be 12v but indeed it is not running at 12v.

[timpos546]

@TeamUnkownkaz Usb is at 5v i think?

[MiturBinlsderty]

wow thats just being cheap lol. a store bought fan would be more time efficient and better at cooling you down, who's idea was this

[MadisonsAwesomeness]

But...will it blend?

[MrFunyman1234]

and y not add a fuckin switch and a mini LED light :D tats wat i did >:D

[Mrfriend75]

didn't work for me. i used an old itunes cable and for some reason, the fan had a white wire, so i attached white to white

[andy52709]

@Mrfriend75 anything made by apple is useless

[truegamer888]

@andy52709 wow u must b really stupid technology wise

[andy52709]

@truegamer888 lol I was kidding I just don't like apple because of their prices. their products are pretty good but way overpriced

[oOoSailineoOo]

@Mrfriend75 Attach white to red, black to black. It works for me.

[elvedin999]

lol i need this so i can put another fan in my pc

[EndlessElusion]

Will thie work for LED fans...do the LEDs needs another wire of will the black and red on the USB be enough to power the fan and LEDs

[WATTHEUHK]

thanks works great!!

[CRUSADERELITE]

damn i dont have a working computer

[elvedin999]

@CRUSADERELITE LOL made my day

[momolove69]

I'm pretty sure it's much cheaper to buy a small fan than to get all this.

[PersonCreatureThing]

@yoshihawv That's what she said.

[smokeluciano]

step 1 : turn on the ac

[elasticunderpants]

howcast has to do everything the hard way :/

[tradecycles]

Still, the video was informative. ending was funny.

[flamezombie1]

Do you know how quickly that would run your laptop down?

[ANIRUDDHA1997]

its better 2 use a dc motor



[yoshihawv]

i kinda done this. one problem: doesn't blow very hard

[americascarface]

@yoshihawv Neither does your girlfriend.

sorry, sorry, it was right there, XD

[scool1018]

Thats great it works and the instraction is awsome

[aidantheviper]

ORRR..... U can Turn On AC xP

[Zarthga]

@aidantheviper not everyone has ac

[manif3stacion]

I was going to click away until I over heard "stripper" but she never came out, what gives!!!???

[MrAbdulmaster]

[MrYu2316]

[rcdude747]

@MrYu2316 thats what i did

[Reverzi]

My fan has 3 wires. Yellow, Black, Red. Should I just leave the yellow out?

[cupnoodles2]

@Reverzi yea



[tuulari]

Rofl. The fan is facing the wrong way in the end. :D

[frilandfilm1]

or you can just open the window

[filiplttt]

I tried it with two different fans, and it didnt work! Fan just wont spin at all. Please help me!

[gainfulplatypus]

haha she said stripper

[Yaminabototal]

guys... stop complaining... its a low cost fan it spins just to make u cooler without one, i didnt wanted a 10€fan because i dont have place in my desktop to place it, its a great idea if u are a gamer and ur hand sweats i got it for cooling my right hand in which is the mouse and its perfect guys.

IM COMMANDER SHEPARD AND THIS IS MY FAVORITE VIDEO.

[K1NGD0MDOWN]

it span for 3 seconds before i had to spin it with my hand and is slow as shit i blow more air out my arse

[awsomeness123211]

who is watching without a computer ?????

[TheRealFurryFox]

I turned mine into an extra cooling fan.

[Devroush]

I tried it out just for fun but because the fan requires 12V and USB only provides 5V it spinned too slow to provide some cooling. Nevertheless, fun experiment.

[rissa588]

I made one with a laptop fan, and because it's small, it doesn't work very well. So I turned mine into a hand sweat dryer! And it works great!!!!!

[CCstormgust]

I just made one but it's weak; very weak

[scool1018]

Its great! It works!

[pietermasquerpet]

Just buy an USB fan for $3?

[mightytaco72]

What if my USB cable has the copper color wire when it's exposed and my computer fan has silver color wire when exposed when exposed would it short out an mess up everything even the computer is it safe if anyone has an answer please send me a message or something please

[janvoslos]

@mightytaco72 Measure it with a multimeter.

[Yaminabototal]

@mightytaco72 electricity dosnt cares about copper or tin, electricity just flows!

[ThatUtubeMachine]

[Pentaerythrittetrani]

[Rm0nRdr]

Or you can just buy a small fan for 10 bucks.

[UlikazuResponser]

@Rm0nRdr 2 bucks here in denmark :D

[Marth200023]

@Rm0nRdr little fans are shit most of them dont even give air.

[slyspy70]

@Rm0nRdr some people like to make things dipshit

[Rm0nRdr]

[slyspy70]

@Rm0nRdr That doesnt even make sense.

[beckertastic]

Way more useful than that new shit

[XDDonkeyKong]

[MisterPikol]

too bad the fan I had was a little piece of shit and it feels like an ant in blowing me (no pun)

[tsaoru]

this is for those who prefers to move their creative mind^^. For those whose USB doesn't work, try harder, Think.. "What would Einstein do?"

[hellx159]

@tsaoru slap a bitch. /jokes

[mechwarreir2]

[TheTruthOfLies]

[444biaz]

[markian101]

@444biaz does it have a black one if it does cut of the yellow

[boothy0088]

It wont work the fan is 12v while the usb only supplies 5v

[nawaaz96]

Hi i like it but is it safe and can i use a usb cable i dont use like from my psp or must it especially be a two headed usb cable??

[Hero4s55d7x]

@nawaaz96 i bet you can... there just need to be same coloured from the fan waire and USB wire.

[zilego60]

[harryplop2]

And you're really going to do this whilst you're sweating. I get pissed off at games when I lose and it's not even hot, when it's hot and this doesn't work, it's not a happy ending.

[bogdanbarannik137988]

[suusjeelovesyou]

[BlackJackGamer21]

Does anyone actually know what a duel core processor is?

[LazerFreak274]

[kulmansam]

I wanted to find out which wires have power so that I could power a device that needed to run while computer is on and turn off when computer is off. Ofcourse, I have never cut usb cable before, I would have found out had I done that!!. But now I know for sure!

Thanks

[BMTHandNIRVANA]

[rocs2hrd4u]

[chrisallot66]

@rocs2hrd4u what?

[rocs2hrd4u]

@chrisallot66 i made one and it works just not well.

[chrisallot66]

@rocs2hrd4u thats because its only using 5v instead of 12v because its USB. if you want more power u'll need 2 usb's.

[OutlawSouljah89]

I wanna learn how to build my own MacBook Pro hehe

[KungFroFighting]

I think im just gonna by a fan instead...

[Jensettiman]

Just so you know, YouTubers, the USB connections are reversed, so you have to connect red (from fan) to green and black (fan) to red. Don't ask why, it's just like that.

[Topulis91]

@Jensettiman lie!

[Jensettiman]

@Topulis91 You want me to lie? Ok, I'll lie. Here goes: All the wires are pink and aquamarine. Happy now???

[INDEPENDENTPRODUCTS]

I made one of these out of a ps2 fan!! It works well!!!! THANK YOU!!

[whak01]

my computer is not recognizing the usb device were can i get the software to make it work?

[SuperGanoosh]

1) buy a fan

2) enjoy

by the way wouldn't you get more stressed out more hot and more enoyed trying to attach red to red, black to yellow, green, to rainbow

[wickedjuggaloz480]

So now my pc keeps freezing up i only used the usb fan one time last night and stoped after it froze so yea thanks everyone for killing my computer... fkn bs i hate today and now this happens RAGE RAGE RAGE killing spree

[wickedjuggaloz480]

[wickedjuggaloz480]

[XxocarabxX]

[SuperComputerdork]

why the fuck would someone want to have usb slippers...wth...-_-

[jodex96]

@SuperComputerdork These days you can get pretty much anything that is powered by USB from coffee cup warmers to missile launchers.

[sinkolow]

@SuperComputerdork winter time? hah.

[MrDeLaGhettoFan]

THX xD I put this under my computer, and now it works much better :D

[adokenk3nnbasil]

wow

[gmax341]

Only problem is that USB only supply's 5V DC when a computer fan needs 12V DC to function normally. Result: fan operates at about 50% or at a lower speed. but i think its a great idea to show it off. Still a good way to try to stay cool on a hot day lol. 

[killy642]

OR jut buy it from vat19.com

[THEONG1G15]

wow it works

[r4microds]

"new hardware found, Please Insert Disc to install"

I dont have a usb fan disc.... Is there software from the internet i can download?

[dima5563]

@r4microds ...... lol change setting on your pc....

[dima5563]

@r4microds ...... lol change setting on your pc....!

[ewankeighley123]

@r4microds it should just work

[theoneandonlymrcoolg]

it also also says "Shit distinguishes the fans" xD

[theoneandonlymrcoolg]

It also says use narcotics for life xD

[theoneandonlymrcoolg]

On the transcribed captions it says "uwire cocaine" xD

[OrgaMaster]

@theoneandonlymrcoolg it also says using narcotics for life!!!

[AdrenalineBoy1011]

u noe.......for all this work ......i would rather go to the store with the same amount of money and just buy one 10 times bigger -_-

[mihro12]

2:17 the face xD

[ikillspamers]

why over exagerate?

[XxocarabxX]

@ikillspamers will you SHUT UP?

[ikillspamers]

well how do u strip a wire with a wire cutter or a pair or pliers?

[ikillspamers]

will a computer camera work?

[ikillspamers]

will a old cpu camra work?

[ikillspamers]

will a old cpu camra with usb plug work?

[PedroMarquesCarmoR]

step 10: error - couldn't find device controlers

[senachan93]

the fan is in the CPU or the old monitor size model? :3 just asking

[McDisi]

гавно

[MixerVM]

That guy had the fan pointing the wrong way. 0_0

Also, a fan will not spin that fast thru USB

[lillyyoshi123456]

The japanese would obviously do something like that -_-

[TheUltimateChat]

ok but what if i have a white wire

[Orthagoni]

haha a wire STRIPPER

[1ssi7h]

@Orthagoni lol dude, you like 12 ?

[MRPIMP62]

@1ssi7h whats your point

[darkforeverxy2]

@Orthagoni -_- Really?? GROW UP

[TheMrjuno]

cant wait to try

[jindark12]

what if i will not put a stand is that ok????...lol

[HedgehogStudios1]

dont use a crappy fan like the one in the video. Go and buy the biggest one you can find

[dudedxrox]

did anyone notice that when he is blown away the fan is facing the wrong way...

[darkmyth2]

i tried it and it blew me away from my computer like in the video



[lendemen95]

how can i make it faster?

[mamaxlolXDlol]

how do i correct this: my homemade usb fan act like a hover boat XD plz help me

[daabest1]

lol BAD SANTA

[MrZoran1996]

xaxaxaxax

[digihawk159]

This is another one of those videos that miss important details. The most important thing id=s that the fan needs to face the right way. Also, for those of u with 3 wire or 4 wire fans here is instructions: Yellow wire= Cut. Black and Red use. Intel brand : Green = cut Blue(some have this)=cut yellow = use black = use Otherwise just experiment.

[factory2012]

[TheMlf]

optional a ceiling fan to keep you cool while your making it

[jooppac]
