This kit allows you to build an economical desk fan that takes power from a standard USB port or USB power supply (not included).
The kit comprises a 90mm fan blade and motor which connect to a PCB that has a power switch, resettable fuse and resistor.
An example of a custom encloseure that we designed for this kit.
The low part count means the kit is very easy to build and is a great project for people with little soldering experience. The resettable fuse prevents the circuit from drawing too much power if the motor is stalled. The kits size and simplicity is such that it will make a great kit for students to create imaginative enclosures
