USB Fan So Many Practical Uses

To make the USB fan Just grab any usb cable. All usb connections carry 5 volts always. The idea of this mod is to use those 5 volts for something useful, to power a fan. Take a fan and any old usb able, obviously a cheap one not some $20(sucker must be written on your forehead to pay that much) monster cable or something. Actually that's how companies can get the highest profit cables cost less than a buck to make then it's flopped and your pay 10 dollars, but that's for another time. Next just go ahead and splice one of the ends off of the cable hopefully you should see the ground cable and a red and black cable at least, for a normal cable there should be for wires but some only have 2. A typical fan has three cables on it a molex fan might have 4. Look for the red and the black cables on both the fan and the usb connector. simply connect the red to red and the black to black. It's that easy! now just plug it in an the fan blades should spin. that's all look at the picture and you can see the one I made hooked up to the IBM P.O.S. Simply as clean up you could definitely put some heatshrink on it but that's optional as long as a complete circuit is always made it will be fine. :-)

I ain't missin much

I feel a little better about not having a Zune now because Microsoft isn't doing much now. I am safe to wait until next month. I also want to see what the deal is with the OLED screens because It will drastically hurt the device to not be viewable in sunlight. Also I know the whole major buzz about Organic.Light.Emitting.Diode. is it is environmentally friendly and it degrades. I am interested in seeing how that rolls. I don't want to buy a shiny new Zune HD and 2 years later the screen is mysteriously fading away. We'll find out together because the OLED might be the best piece of tech, or the worst piece of crap. OLED technology could easily be the biggest flop f all time that is until they perfect it. The Zune HD totes a 480x272 ( to some that's crappy but it's good enough for me it still beats the heck out of my phone display, I hope) A. ctive M. atrix O. rganic L. ight E. mitting D. iode display. I also think that Microsoft really used Zune HD as a place holder because using a screen that they know will degrade only means one thing. keep your eyes out for more new Zunes on the way they don't intend on us keeping this one long also evidenced buy the low price( I would have liked to see $150 but...) And not to mention that Zune HD is only a U.S> release. let's see I know something way bigger is coming from Microsoft next year as far as PMP goes.

Zune HD tommorow I only got $50! WTF!

wel that didn't quite work out how I planned so I won't get my hands on it until next month most likely. Thats fine though because I will get one with any first batch bugs worked out. Peace out.

Bike speakers 5 minutes and duck tape

With 5 minutes and duck tape I made our first true project. When I removed the back cover from some PC speakers I saw a power converter. 120v ac(I'm in the us) to 9v. I took a 9v battery from a smoke detector(forget safety!) and used a strip of duct tape to attach the wire leads to the battery. then I took some of my speakers( 5 1/2 inch Harmon Kardon Subwoofer and a 6x9 from a Pontiac Sunfire. I then experimented and bridged the speaker amp( for a whopping 4 watts rms! XD) and hooked it up to the Subwoofer. then all of this was duct taped to the Schwinn stingray. this project was only a proof of concept. This is far from the end of this project this was just a proof of concept my next step is making this permanent and more clean.
