Converting a battery powered fan to a Solar Powered Fan
by admin on Saturday, April 3rd, 2010 | 3 Comments
I searched high and low for a solar powered fan but with no joy so i bought a battery powered fan and two rechargeable batteries, i used my solar power battery charger (for the same type batteries) and connected the wires to a plug.
I modified the socket inside to the power goes directly to the batteries. So not to burn out the motor if you do this yourself it’s a good idea to reduce the power to the fan at the same time as using solar power to charge the batteries.
It works a treat. I made it for someone special.
Cost…. $4 for wire and plug. 20 mins to solder the wires inside the fan and modify the solar battery charger.

Thats pretty cool! …
Thats pretty cool! If only everything electric could be powered by solar like that. Really smart e-engineering
hey thanks
