HOMEMADE SOLAR POWERED ATTIC FAN.

HERE I HAVE MADE A SOLAR POWERED ATTIC FAN. I HAD A 12 VOLT 5 OR 8 WATT CLIP ON AUTO OR CAR FAN YOU CAN GET FROM WAL-MART FOR I THINK IT WAS $8. I HAD A 5 WATT SOLAR PANEL FROM HARBOR FREIGHT I GOT FOR $30 ON SALE SOMETIME LAST YEAR. SO I REMOVED THE FRONT PART OF THE FAN AND THE CLIP THEN SILICONED IT TO A THIN PEACE OF PLYWOOD I HAD CUT A HOLE IN JUST BIG ENOUGH SO THE LIP OF THE FAN SET IN THE HOLE. I HAVE 3 VENT HOLES ON THE ROOF OF MY HOUSE SO I TOOK SHORT SCREWS AND MOUNTED THE FAN OVER ONE OF THE HOLES. I RAN A WIRE DOWN THE SIDE OF MY HOUSE TO THE SOLAR PANEL. NOW I HAVE A FAN HELPING TO VENT MY ATTIC. THE FAN WILL KICK ON AROUND 10 am THEN TURN OFF AROUND 7 pm. I JUST LEAVE THE FAN ON AND HAVE TO SOLAR PANEL TURN IT ON AND OFF. THE COST OF A SOLAR ATTIC FANS ARE CRAZY! STARTING AT $200 AND UP. I SPENT $40 ON THIS ONE. AND I'M WANTING TO ADD 2 MORE FANS FOR THE OTHER VENT HOLES IN MY ATTIC. I'LL PROBABLY BUILT ME A SOLAR PANEL TO POWER ALL 3 FANS.
I HOPE YOU ALL LIKE IT. NOW BUILD ONE AND MAKE IT BETTER.. THANKS FOR WATCHING..

THANKS VW,

I'VE SEEN ALL YOUR VIDEOS.. I'M PRETTY SURE YOUR ALOT BUSIER THAN I AM.

I'M WANTING TO USE A SOLAR LIGHT AS A NIGHT LIGHT. I'M LOOKING FOR AN OLD NIGHT LIGHT I CAN TAKE APART AND PUT THE SOLAR LIGHT ELECTRONICS INSIDE. THEN I'LL TAKE THE SOLAR CELL AND ATTACH IT TO THE WINDOW WITH A SUCTION CUP. HOPEFULLY IT WILL LOOK PRETTY COOL

I have to think up new thing to keep me busy, just like you. I took apart a old solar light and hooked a piece of speaker wire to the LED and ran the light into the house, we use it as a night light. keep the videos coming.
