    Re: HOW TO: Cheap Incubator Fan!

    I know the last post here was almost a year ago but I need your help. I have made a poultry incubator. And am now trying to make it a moving air incubator. I have two fans I removed from old computers that were working when I removed them. I have tons of those old chargers. The two fans I have are:
    Quiettek - Brushless DC12V 0.23A
    FU DC Fan Brushless DC 12V 0.15A

    The adaptors/chargers I have are:
    Unisonic 120V AC 7W
    Thomson 120V AC 5W (I tried both fans using this but nothing)
    Panasonic 120V AC 4W

    The Unisonic and Panaonic both still have the plugs on them before I cut off the plugs I was wondering if anyone can tell me; why the Thomson didn't power the fans and which of the other two would be the best to use?

    Also what about connecting two fans together at opposite ends of the incubator to create a better flow?


    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Well wish I could help ya with that one but I can't. I can recommend the 120V fans from RadioShack that were mentioned earlier. They are great, just attach a plug and directly into the wall or power strip no transformers or anything else needed. I use a couple of them for different things.
