I pulled my headphones out by accident do he said, keep in mind this is a small, enclosed space this will work in wont f**k up an entire room. LMFAO!!!
I did it in a bit different way. I found a dead PSU in my drawer and then got everything out of the it except the fan and then connected its wires to a USB cable.
@HackingDutchman You can get a normal 12 volt transformer, cut the wires off, and solder on the wires from the fan.Or you can get an old PSU from a computer and use that. but that might be to bulky.
also a nice way to fry your computer.water might get into the fan and cause a short circuit causin the positive and negative to touch and it might fry something inside your motherboard.
If you live in a climate that isn't so humid, I'm pretty sure this hack works well... otherwise, you might as well cave in and grab a window unit. I ended up doing that instead after trying a couple of homemade a/c projects.
Did you know that if you point a fan at the bottom of your feet you will cool off faster than having it pointed at your head. Found this out by accident one day. Works great.
This will be useful for my mom, her computer tends to overheat whenever she burns a cd and all, so instead of draggin a giant fan, a mini a/c should be fine
Hey @HouseholdHacker ! I've thought up of making a Solar USB charger made from used solar panels from garden lights and an old USB cord. Can you make a vid or give me some tips/help on how to do this? Thanks, I love your vids!!! :D
Not life saving if you can't get ice in these "third world" areas... Also how will the ice bag work? It insulates the coldness of the ice for the most part.. This was still pretty neat though ;)
@xDEATHSxSHADOWx i just modified it a tad, made an AC adapter to run it on 120->11ish volts, used an old GI joe foot locker to do it, i have a pic if you wanna take a look
You should drill holes on top of the sides for air in and turn over saller fan.... u r just wasting energy with 2 fans like that. Bigger fan ends up pulling smaller one.
Cool! I have the same fans as those, and I can find the project box and 9 volt battery holder in radioshack, but can you post schematics for the wiring please?
@XxocarabxX why would you need a schematic? Its easy to do and i can make a schematic in under 5 minutes if you still want it, I built one in a big ass box in about 45 minutes
Hey as you say the fan will run slower on the 5v supply through the usb... What if you connect two usb lines in series in two usb ports instead of using only one usb, by connecting the negative of one opened usb cable to the positive of another and then connecting the remaining two lines to the ac as you have done? Wont that then provide 10v, since it will be like having connected two 5v battery sources in series???
Im finally going to make this after learning that cooling your PS3 will help it performance. im using an Apple i-pod charger for the USB connection and when i opened up the cord i found a black red blue and white wires and a bunch of other wires surrounding them. Help?
How can you use the power supply line from the phone line to run it. When the power goes out the phone lines still work. What resistor or gig-its and gadgets?
MAN! thank you so much! i have a small little room under the stairs with no ventilation, but i have my xbox and a 5A powered usb hub this thing works great! the place is about 5*4*3 so it doesn't take much to cool it down! :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Please don't do this. An A/C unit uses way too much power for a USB to handle...this is unsafe and should be removed from YouTube immediately. Thumbs up if you agree.
On my computer mouse when i opened it up it said the white wire = VCC | that represents voltage. And by cutting this wire we are cutting off voltage? Help?
I'm so going to make this! I have tons of old pc towers laying around, hot glue, and I have a thingie that you plug usb into that plugs straight into the wall.
