i used a old cell phone charger you just want to check that the output is close to what your fans need to run

I went in to an electronic supply store and they had fans that plug strait in they are supper heavy duty and so easy to use. Maybe try to find that

radio shack sells 3-4 inch fan runs on 110v about 10 bucks

I don't :cool:

I use one of those http://www.coolerguys.com/ac120vfans.html - best fan I ever used and no adaptor getting warm :gj:

Ok go to radio shack and buy two 12VOLT DC computer fans that have only a red and blue wire coming out of them. (do not buy the ones with the led lights on them) Then go to walmart and buy two 120V to 12V DC wall adapters. Stip the wires on both the adapter and the fans. On the adapter there will be a wire that has a dotted white line or a solid white line (this wire is the hot wire). The other wire on the adapter will be mostly black with some really small writing on it (this is the negative wire). Now solder the red wire from the fan to the hot wire on the adapter. Then solder the blue wire from the fan to the negative wire from the adapter. That is it just plug them in to make sure they work then place a fan pionting down on the top to one side of the incubator and the other one on the bottom facing up on the other side to rotate the air.

If your adapter is a varaible volt adapter make sure it is set to 12V DC. And make sure you tape up the connections so you don't get shocked. There's nothing to it, good luck.

Save yourself money. You can go to your local computer used place.. Those lil hole in the wall shops everyone has. Ask about their fans. You can get from 4" 3" even 2" fans for about 1.50 each.. yes a buck fifty!! Then more than likely they are 12volt so they ate the same place should have the cell phone or other ac plug ins. find one that is 12 volt that is like the fan. You just strip them and clip em and done..
Your looking at $8.00 for the AC adapter and the fan..
