thats how it works:
when you apply electricity to a dc motor, it spins (duh), but when you spin the motor shaft, the motor acts as a generator and produces electricity which is flowing through your MB without control. THIS current may damage your computer. The bearings of the fan are also going to be damaged if you do this too often, because when vacuuming they will spin faster as they usually do.

Glad someone else knows about the importance of preventing fans from spinning when cleaning electronics.

I did the same thing, BUT made sure the blades of the fan moved as little as possible
-
@dalcinshady then why the hell did you click this video? lol
-
yup!
they'll only spin in one direction because of the diode.. if you apply reverse voltage to it you get nothing.
-
@FRURMELLL yep you have grammar fail
-
I did that once and touched one of the vanes and broke one off, some vibration.

Cannot....Breathe...hahahaha!

@Warioren Those fans have diodes blocking current from going back into the board but the ball bearings might still break if it spins too fast

If you dont know a way to tell your dad-mother buy you a new computer, then do this to put static electric everywhere and computer will explode..
By the way
DONT DO THIS!!!!

@computec1993 well yesno it could create up 2 ~30 Volts but there are BLDC Motors in ther (BrushLess DC) wich dont work Bi-Directional so, u put Plus to Plus and Minus to minus and it will run, sure it will(except its broken) now if switch anode and kathode, a DC motor will just spin in the opposite direction, a BLDC motor wont do that, it would just do nothing, in this video the air of the cleaner is sucking the fan and its turning wrong way -> No electricy. also tested it with multiple fans
