I currently have 9 or 10 nideq 12cm industrial fans. These have a VERY long lifetime and consume tons of power (0.8A a piece). The current plan is to hook them all together(zipties for now) and mount them to the ceiling so that i can flip them for summer or winter as neccessary without much hassle. This will powered using two S800i power supplies(12V5A each). The power supplies will NOT be in parallel as failure of one would put the other under extreme load causing it to fail as well.
Control:
remote control or clapper
Required materials:
ATMEGA16 microprocessor to control functions [and a clapper/ir set harvested from elsewhere]
12cm fans (already acquired)
12V power supply (two S800i power supplies @ 12V5A a piece)
Optional Materials:
LEDs to provide overhead light (also remote controlled, color TBD)
One of the fans that I have:
