Removed the weird I that was out of place in the logo.
Strap it to a san ace fan.
Just buy a GIANT aquarium tank, and place your computer in there. You wont need any fans for cooling!
[QUOTE=chipset;30672871]Joking aside, chaining fans just increases the static pressure, not airspeed. You can't just chain a bunch of fans and make your own high speed wind tunnel, the blades are still spinning at the same speed with 10 fans as it is with 1.[/QUOTE] No I don't think you fully understand how fan science works. Personally I have a bachelor's degree in fan science so I think I know a little more about it than you.
If you clip 9v batteries together and cut the wires on the fan to make them touch the batteries, the fan goes super speed.

Rip the surrounding frames off your fans and then interlock them to create a fan gearbox. When you want higher fan speeds simply put in a bigger fan in your fan gearbox and they will go faster
[QUOTE=Doritos_Man;30658109]You forgot LED's Those make it go faster but only red ones[/QUOTE] Whatever you do, DON'T listen to this guy!! Red LEDs will heat up your computer and you could start a fire! Use green LEDs if you want to go fast!
If you increase it's voltage or current you run the risk of blowing the motor. The fans won't last as long in general because they were meant for a certain speed and voltage.

You're all wrong, the only way to make fans spin faster is to put go-faster stripes on them.

[QUOTE=chipset;30662554]Just a word of warning regarding lubrication. Don't use petrolium based lubricants, they'll just heat up and grind into carbon, seizing up the fan and destroying it.[/QUOTE]it doesn't turn to carbon when i'm fapping?
[QUOTE=TehWhale;30708416]it doesn't turn to carbon when i'm fapping?[/QUOTE] That's because you don't fap at over 1000 bpm.
Give it to photonicinduction.

Clearly you guys are all wrong. The op needs to delete his System32 folder! God, no one knows anything these days.... After all, fans run by software now.

[QUOTE=Goz3rr;30706470]I actually made that in a electronics simulator, the output voltage was 119,9v[/QUOTE] Did you make sure they were really good diodes it was simulating?
[QUOTE=nikomo;30730783]Did you make sure they were really good diodes it was simulating?[/QUOTE] a diode just regulates the direction of voltage, I think it was just a simple AC->DC converter (I'm not much into electronics), if you look at the directions of the diodes it only lets the voltage travel from the + side to the -.
[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;30730702']You aren't funny and you aren't clever.[/QUOTE] Okay :smithicide: Honestly, you would probably be better off buying a new fan. You can get a decent one on newegg- just use the filters to find a decent one in your price range.
[QUOTE=fenwick;30672479]If you want it to go [I]really[/I] fast: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/nE9UL.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] A Wheatstone bridge without any additional conversion steps will just make half wave 120v DC. If you had a DC fan that could run at 120v, it would pulse off and on at 60 Hz. You also don't need "really good diodes", you only need diodes that can handle the load put on them.
[QUOTE=paindoc;30729556]Clearly you guys are all wrong. The op needs to delete his System32 folder! God, no one knows anything these days.... After all, fans run by software now.[/QUOTE] Dumbass... You remove the /dev folder, NOT the System32 folder!
[QUOTE=Map in a box;30737438]Dumbass... You remove the /dev folder, NOT the System32 folder![/QUOTE] Don't you know anything about Quantum Computer Mechanics? The lesser the files in the computer, the lighter it will be. The lighter the computer, the faster the fans will be because it'll have less load. Jesus Christ remove your fucking hard drive already.
Get creative guys. Geez.
Get something like [url=http://www.hobby-lobby.com/erc_motors_279_ctg.htm][img]http://cdn1.hobby-lobby.com/scart/public/database/product/images_sets/pr528694img1sma.jpg[/img][/url] And connect it to your fan's axle and you should have yourself a nice fan there(not sure if the fan blades can take it though). It should do 10200RPM at 12Volts and can take upto 1200Watts of power within voltage range of 7.4V - 14.8V. But you might need extra power supply just for the fan. But i'm not sure if you need a controller for that to run as i haven't really worked with any Electric RC motors, only gas operated ones.
