  • I didn't --I just unplug the 9 volt battery--but--you can put a toggle switch in the line anywhere to shut it off and turn it on

  • Solar!

  • Solar would be fantastik but probably not easily done for a low price. I also thought of one of those flashlites you shake or pump to charge the batteries

  • I would think that holes in the upper side of the can would give it a secondary combustion that might assist the flame more.

  • Good idea and worth a try

  • What's the current rating of that fan?

    I know most batteries have 160mAh, and my 8x8cm PC fans need 100mA to work.

    The system would work roughly an hour and a half per battery, you should carry a pack of batteries or a couple of rechargeables, but that beats the survival point I think.

    Nice videos and designs!

  • A alkaline AAA battery has by the charts i have -2122 mAh i have not checked the mAh draw of this motor but I am going to use a more robust and low draw motr in the final product

  • Cool forge, but the can is aluminium...it will burn up....

  • hmm thats real neat, but why isnt the aluminum melting from the high heat? also doesnt the ash fall on the fan?

  • Add a miniature sterling engine and the fire can run it's own fan. lol

  • how do you made it??

  • that computer fan is failing!

  • Amazing bit of tec. Hope you come up with simpler design, though, because I don't want to haul a motor or battery. You've got great idea's. Love watching what you come up with.

  • very nice, i assume the fan doesnt get too hot as it is cooling itself with fresh air? I like the simplicity of not having to deal with ducts, and the aluminuam is a GREAT idea, trading off longevity for weight in backpacking situations.

    for a higher energy density/weight advantage a couple 16340 li ion batteries would give you 7.2v, running the computer fan slower. Maybe that would be a good thing?

  • im the firestarter twisted fire starter

  • Marvelous!  I have my fingers crossed that you release a AA-powered version ;)

  • yes

  • I love wood stoves because they can generate ALOT of heat if designed right.

  • is the battetry running a fan?
