Very nice and hard work . But would like to give you a suggestion. That you should use a laptop or any other adopter/charger of 220VAC to 12VDC 5A and connect these fans to it. That will aslo work fine.
At 3:42, you show the wires being fed through the metal plate without any protection from shorting out. Over time, the fan vibrations could cause the wires to rub against the sharp metal and then short out which could possibly cause a fire. The price of a simple grommet is very cheap insurance. Other protections could be heat shrink tubing, electrical tape or at the very least, hot glue.
No more dangerous than 120v.. he would have same amperage breaker systems as 120 so depending on the overcurrent protection would be how dangerous it was.. also, they make cheap 120/220 v cpu size fans for like cabines and food stuffs...
Z Ack "he would have same amperage breaker systems as 120".... actually no, he wouldn't, and the reasons why are covered under basic electrical theory. You should probably stop spouting bullshit on the internet if you know nothing about the subject under discussion, especially when the subject is electricity.
you should've placed the transformer outside. Aside from making it hidden while making your room aesthetically clean, it will also keep the x'former from heating up. I guess its size is not much of an obstruction, besides that 4 fans will make it overheat for sometime when on...
There's a big difference between load capacity vs endurance. Even appliances short and overheat even if their parts are made for the load. you expect a gadget to run longer then heat is your worst nightmare... just sayin'
I doubt the transformer won't heatup especially if the room is itself warm. I've in electronics for 15+ years now and not in my experience i've handled a part that wont heat up unless its Japan made. I'm not sure if you are in a 4-season country but for tropical to uberwarm countries, a little precaution may help...
No. The proper answer is to forget making your own deathtrap power supply and just use a simple power supply that is commercially available. While the idea of the fans is neat, the power supply part is by far the most dangerous. Just buy the proper supply and forget the tape, capacitors, and other cobbled electrical dangers.
Sir, i have three CPU Fans each rating 12v 0.51amp. I designed same circuit that you are shows, bt the problem is fans are not running ..only one fan is running as a slow speed, how i designed the circuit please help me.
4 fans are more powerful, therefore creating more ventilation and suction, thus rearranging the air in the bathroom as well as more power gaining speed!!!
its easy to come by small fans from whatever.people throw completely perfect stuff away.i go to the dump and check the battery dump box with my multimeter,heh heh. ive set up small 6 volt batteries in series to run small fans for ventilation/heat. i am no expert,,,i was wondering why you used that blue(capacitor ???) or whatever it was,is that what you use to reduce to 12vt ???? it's cool to take stuff and make it into something useful yourself
At 5:29, you fail to show the use of plastic wall anchors. It is not a good idea to directly screw into a wall because over time, the fan vibrations will weaken the strength between the screw threads and wall material. Some inexpensive anchors will help the installation to last a long time.
Very good. Using AC cooling fans could eliminate additional circuitries. I think that would be more easier, just assemble the mechanical frame. Also, series connection isn't preferred there as one fan fault can stop the whole and also, any low voltage will drastically decrease all fan's speed. Parallel is preferred in my case.
All you need is to find a plug in power supply (like the black boxes that come with electroics) if you look on that black box it will tell you what its output is. Find one that says 12v and the higher the MA. Milliamp, the better in your condition as car rad fans can take alot.. also on the black box make sure you see a symbolof _____ with a - - - - over top making solid line with dotted o top. That means dc.. then all you do is attach like wires on the fans and cut the end of the cable off coming off the black box (while unplugged) then attach one of those wires to one of the fans abd other wire to the other... put a switch in series with one wire to switch it. If you dothat and doesnt work, flip thr wires around (polarity). You wont hurt anything if you messup.. the power supply might cut offbut youreset by unpluggig and plugging bsk
Forget what Z Ack is saying about using a plug-in power supply, you wont find one with a suitable current rating. Radiator thermo fans can draw anywhere from 5 to 20 amps (60 - 240 watts) and you want to run two of them. You would need a suitably rated 120VAC transformer with a secondary voltage somewhere in the 16-18 volt range. No, you don't want a 12V transformer because thermo fan motors are optimised to run off the 13.8V-14.4V output from the car's alternator, and the rectified DC output from the transformer will equal the RMS voltage of the secondary (not the peak voltage). Then you'd need to add some sort of rectification (a couple of chunky diodes would do) and some reasonably sized reservoir capacitors on the DC output. If you can put all that together correctly, you'll end up with a very noisy way of moving a lot of air, as radiator fans are designed with airflow above all other design characteristics... they are not designed to be quiet. You could also buy a suitably rated 13.8V bench power supply (as used by automotive electricians for testing purposes), but these are expensive. I'm not sure what your specific application is, but in 95% of cases it will be much cheaper and easier (and quieter!) if you just buy a suitably rated 120VAC fan.
Wat the diodes for? Transformer not got the bawls to spin 4 fans? I would just personally get 120v case fans and would be more power efficient cuz with step downs , well look it up.., and would have nothing else besides the fans. Theyre cheap too.. like 12$ for 4 ..
mere sab hi fan 12v ke phone charger se bohout achhi tarase chalte hai, magar un sub ko individually alag alag charger se run karvana parta hai, to agar souch liya jaye ke mere every single fan 12v ka hai, toh main agar apki advice follow karun to mere paas 12x20=240v ka fan to mujhe 480v ka single transformer or diode and capacitor lagana parega?
would have been somewhat helpful to hold up a piece of tissue or something light just to see how strong the air outflow is. We cant tell from the video :o/
Seems overkill? Why not use a spare 12V/1A switching power supply (from an old router or switch) and just connect that to the black/red wires from the fans (the yellows are only for motherboard monitoring) and avoid all the dangerous stuff! 1 of these common 'wall wart' power supplies will easily run 4 computer fans and since you are only dealing with 12V then you mitigate the dangerous part. Make sure you solder the connections and use heat shrink electrical wrap to cover the connections. Easy. PS - for a washroom or place with moisture, isn't it easier to buy a $20 extraction fan designed for this purpose?
I'm pretty sure his house insurance wont cover the fire that will occur being it wasn't tested by or have the UL- " United Laboratories " stamp/sticker to wire them fans all together and used to remove humidity. Pretty sure the engineers designed them fans to cool down cpu's and didn't have humidity in mind. smh

but it is still working good! that is not a big issue.
I enjoyed your video and I inspired thank you very much
Awesome video..... its a simple and easy way to make a exhauster fan with a low price.. 👌👌
Very good work, but please enclose that transformer so no one will touch it. 220v mains power is pretty dangerous.
+ted clubber lang thnx. There is no current in outer side of transformer. Also it is near to roof and not accessible easily.
Also, if you use four diodes in a "bridge rectifier" configuration, the fans will run smoother and cause less electronic noise for other devices.
+ted clubber lang there is no need a bridge rectifier for center taped transformer.

im a FAN of this video;)
I'd done it years ago and still working now. Quiet effective to throw room odor away
Greetings from Indonesia
3:09 thats what i was looking for... I have 3 fans i wanted to splice together... So you put all the reds together and the black wire
Good idea sirji 👍👍
Bahot barhiya bhai ! Aise hi video banate raho. Electric chimney ka bhi video bana dete to accha hoga !
I recommend you install a grille on the inside so no fingers will be chopped.
Preston Lo do you put fingers in CPU fans?
Can we use a 12 volt adaptor instead of transformer??
Yes.
you should've placed the transformer outside. Aside from making it hidden while making your room aesthetically clean, it will also keep the x'former from heating up. I guess its size is not much of an obstruction, besides that 4 fans will make it overheat for sometime when on...
+Deonicius Diez this transformer can handle loads up to 3Amps. And the each fan have only 0.27A max load.
There's a big difference between load capacity vs endurance. Even appliances short and overheat even if their parts are made for the load. you expect a gadget to run longer then heat is your worst nightmare... just sayin'
+Deonicius Diez i can't understand what do you want to say. But a 3A transformer can easily run 1.1A load of 4fans over night without heating.
I doubt the transformer won't heatup especially if the room is itself warm. I've in electronics for 15+ years now and not in my experience i've handled a part that wont heat up unless its Japan made.

Can't we connect these four fan directly to the 12v 100ah battery?
Nice Work. One can also use zip ties ,
+Ch.Muhammad Imran yes you can use.

Obviously they are used but off camera. common
Very good perfect
nice work. I just want to ask whatis the value of the capacitor you used and the transformer? thanks
nice one
Thanks for sharing the details.love u
Sir can you please explain which diode is used in this? I have the same fans and run by DC adopter.
Very good. Using AC cooling fans could eliminate additional circuitries. I think that would be more easier, just assemble the mechanical frame. Also, series connection isn't preferred there as one fan fault can stop the whole and also, any low voltage will drastically decrease all fan's speed. Parallel is preferred in my case.
good work but why the capacitor? it is necessary?
+Seby yup. Capacitor reduce the DC pulses and make smooth output.
kitchen ka exhaust fan ka two way switch kaam kese kerta hai.. uske wiring ki jaankari aap bata sakte ho..

Add shutters behind so no backdrafts will come back in.
you should enclosed transformer into a plastic box so that the looks will be nice.
Kiya aap Karachi se Hain agar aap Karachi se Hain toh Kiya aap mujhe Bata sakte hain k power bank circuite kaha mile ga

u can use 5v or more, if u want slower fans
or use mobile charger
Ji run I have a 5v fan with a built in speed controller
Pax intellivent is the way to go!
Se aplica para 125CA en vez de 220CA...?
At 3:09, you missed a VERY important step: insulating all the positive and negative wires, not only from each other, but also from the metal plate!
insulated using a transparent tape. btw thank you so much for such interesting point outs.
no music , thank god .
amazing idea buddy :-)
thnx
Nice Work. ap ne Drill Machine kitne ki li or kis company ki hai?
+Usman Khan thnx. Aam china ki h. 2400
Sir one fan costs around 250 rupees, so 4 fans means 1000 rupees. And that I feel is costly... Any sites to buy fans at a cheap price?
Use old one. Old fan price is 50 Rupees.

if i use 1 a tranformator, do i need condencator and diodes? is there no problem if there will be 12 v led fans?
+Paulius Pileičikas yes you will need a capacitor and some diodes to convert ac to dc.
