Blandsaft[TK] Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 Any1 got a good solution for a helm fan? Think two fan's will be ok. Quote
kaa1304[TK] Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 Two 50mm PC fans, soldered to 2 battery packs, fans in front, batteries in the sides, works just fine. My battery packs even have on/off swtiches, total cost, around 20EUR Quote
SolderMaster Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 I have 2 fans in my bucket. One is a 12V 50mmX50mmX20mm blower that i have Velcroed to the left Hovi mic area blowing up across my face. The other is a smaller 5V 25mm X 25mm X 10mm blower that I have mounted to the right side on my welder's shield which blows across the lens. The 50mm X 50mm X 20mm blower can operate off of 12V, (2 AA battery packs wired in series), 9V (not much battery life), or 6V (1 AA battery pack). I use the 12V setup for things like parades in the summer time as the noise level is pretty high. I use the 6V setup for indoor events. Much more quiet. The 25mm X 25mm X 10mm fan runs off of one 3 AAA battery box and last forever. All fans and battery boxes are Velcroed so it makes swapping them in and out easy. Large Fan Specs: Delta 50x50x20 mm 5300 RPM DC12V 0.28A Model # BFB0512VHD Small Fan Specs: Sunon MagLev Fan DC5V 0.65W B0503AFB2-8 Quote
