From time to time I like to browse the Fanshowdown@gmail.com email just to see what you guys are coming up with. Sometimes I see something I cant pass on, one look and I know I have to print it out just to see what happens. Recently a fan composed of gears caught my attention and although it didn't work I posted to my community tab. Well someone saw that post and decided he could make it work, that mans name is Kyle. Kyle put in the work and today we see if what he created really does work, and if it does can it cool a pc?

I wonder whats up with crypto today, I bet Morning Brew will let us know. Thanks Morning Brew for my daily news perk - sign up for free here cen.yt/mbmajorhardware2
Death to Crypto.
Crypto is a rotted poison, it is the super villain mystery box that destroys nature and prints money.
mmmm 🍌
Please let it run for 24 hours and show us the results :D
Today, my morning brew is watching Fan Showdown.
Can you try it without the gears? just the blade tips.
I think you finally did it, you finally gave noctua an aneurysm.
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tf u just say to me u lil shit??!
Taking a Noctua and making it as loud as possible is hilarious.

ah yes, I too have always wondered why my PC doesn't sound like an endless waterfall of legos, thank you for this.
HA
Best description ever! I could see the imagery in my head as I read your comment
The best ideas are built out of mental blocks.
Do it, run it on a 8hr loop, and put it on youtube as asmr.....I bet you get a million views!
@@MajorHardware Print it in resin, polish it super smooth, use a slightly heavier lube, (maybe) balance and weight match all the gears, and it would be a lot quieter, and possibly more efficient.
We NEED to see this in resin and polished man, maybe translucent, that would be incredible
This. Would be interesting to see it with some heavier lube to see if that reduces vibrations, and then stress test it to the max with attaching it to a real motor ;).
Nooooo. Waste of materials and effort.
@@markp8295 that's what makes engineering fun!
Maybe the smoothness of the resin can improve this amazing complex fan.
I was thinking the whole video that this would definitely be a fan that would improve from a vapor bath because every texture is creating friction.
78 dB is actually so loud that in industrial settings, hearing protection is almost mandatory.
I love this fan. Great looks and it even finished a test. That's a win in my book.
70 is a Car.. 80 would be a truck... 90 for a hair dryer and 100 for a helicopter :)
@@doncbarlow2209 and 150 is a chips bag at 3am
I can't believe it actually worked! That was a lot more airflow in the smoke test than I expected. When I tested the earlier version myself, it felt like it was blowing more air sideways than through it.
The fact that it scored at all is a win for me, let alone not last place!
Also, that filament is beautiful. Thank you for giving the fan a shot, and I'm so glad it worked for you.
Great work! I was thinking of designing something similar a while back, but laziness won. I like that each gear is it's own impeller of some sort. Great thinking there.
@@buildthis2324 Thanks. That feature came from the original design from the community tab post. I just messed around with the blade profile.
This is THE fan for steampunk themed builds.
I think it would do really well with a long break in. (Long ranting post as a main video reply.) That initial binding was robbing it of performance.
Good shit man, such a cool design.
This, single-handedly, has raised the bar on what we can expect from this show in the future
Let's get ridiculous.
At this point we need another series with the title "who can make the loudest fan design"
damn so many new possibilities for the loudest possible fan group
Just design blades that are shaped like whistles.... i bet these would be hard to beat.
@@No_Way_NO_WAY oh no....don't give them any idea....oh wait YES AIR SIREN IT.
@@No_Way_NO_WAY would be amazing if someone designed the whistles so they sound like turbine engine :o
@@toddler1009 i think they did that before already. it wasn't that loud unless it was spinning way faster than the noctua fan motor can allow iirc
@@toddler1009 he did the siren th-cam.com/video/39OmzYyQ_dQ/w-d-xo.html
I can't get over him calling the clock hands "clock arms/fingers" so close, yet so far lmao
Be a great fan to run at a low voltage to just have it move slowly as an art piece in the background.
Print out a 250mm fan variant, then just find a case it'll actually fit into!
Maybe instead of a fan motor use a clock motor.
You'd need some gearing between the motor and the fan to prevent the motor from getting stuck
@@patrickhector hah...
You forgot to add RGB.
I love this.
Someone make one with a gear ratio that just makes it spin SO FAST
The problem with that is that it would require a lot of torque, which the little motor can't provide

Thats not a fan, its a piece of art.
With that noise, it just annoys the heat away from your test bench.
Cpu purposely didn't throttle because it knew it'd have to put up with the noise a second time to make sure the first failure wasn't a fluke.
"Or, I'm just at work... ...on Lunch." (Nice save, LOL!!)
Totally okay this test lacked three competitors, nothing else could have been as interesting as that one. Totally deserved a solo spot and place of honor, just wow design
That being said, while not being competitors there were 7 fans total if you count each gear and the clock hands

Just thought I'd mention it, a good way to lubricate 3D printed gears and chains is to scrape a pencil over the surfaces which will coat them in graphite, which is an excellent dry lubricant.
you can also buy Moly Lube, which is almost the same thing, but designed to reach into those tough nooks and crannies because it's in a spray can.
Or buy Teflon dry spray.
@@802Garage yes.
Just remember to run it for a bit, graphite is still a great conductor, and would be hanging around some spendy hardware...
I don't think graphite dust would be smart to use in a computer setting (seeing as it is really conductive)
1. Great color filament ☑️
2. Loud noise ☑️
3. Doesn't throttle ☑️
4. Incredible design ☑️
Perfect, a masterpiece, a fan of the fan!
Omg you did not just use a flight of the navigator clip you absolute maniac I am dying 😂
i knew someone would recognize it

Hey mate, as an atmospherics tech, here are some tips that might make the "fog test" better.
You'll want a gap between the output nozzle of the fog machine, as this will allow the fog to atomise properly. This can be done quite simply by cutting approximately 10x40mm slots at the start of the tube. 4 of them should be plenty. Due to the venturi effect fog shouldn't leak out, and if it does, the slots are too big.
You will also probably want to pulse the trigger button. A very quick tap every half a second should do the trick.
Am I the only grown man who clapped like a small child when he said "fan test?"
Yuh
So far it's not looking good.
Not just you...
Nope 😍
I sure hope you are
Fan manufacturers: does their best to minimize friction
This guy:
As a fan, it's garbage. Loud, poor cooling and with most of the energy input for cooling used up overcoming friction. As a piece of design though.........it's a thing of beauty.
This "Fan Showdown SPECIAL" had me smiling the entire show loved it.
There's no question about it, it's absolutely fascinating on how people perceive a fan and what ideas they have to execute it. The numerous of different designs and how well they perform just shows how creative people are even with a commonly used and a simple electrical device.
First time I've seen anyone use Flight of the Navigator on TH-cam. I'm subbing just for that.
06:24 ... That engineers-laugher... that feeling when you might as well have created life like Frankenstein and it's just thrilling, no matter how stupid!
That's why I enjoy this channel, in essense!
7:29 the uncomfortable laugh confirms he’s really smoking a bong 💨
For your smoke pipe: For laminar flow you can use drinking straws in the middle if you use an orifice and at the end if you want the whole diameter as opening. (Thats at least how it works with water, and drinking straws are cheap)
It may be loud, it may not be super effective, but god DAMN does it look cool.
oh wow i didnt know you changed how you did the smoke, last i saw you used like an empty washing detergent jug or something
I appreciate you. Thanks for being a good TH-camr, having fun, interacting with your audience, and being a good person.
“Color-changing filament? Big fan”
You need to outfit a Corsair 1000D with all of these fans, you can call it the "Clock Tower"
Why did my mind just go to Power rangers: time force.....
Save the clock tower! Save the clock tower!
Now I know how to picture a "storm of blades" in my head
I'd be interested to see that design running without the clock blades. The idea of putting mini-blades into the planetary gears is beauty. Like you, I don't care how loud it is... That's just wonderful.
This is life. So out of the box yet functional. Opens a new door of creativity as well.
I love how much more advanced your smoke test has come for something that just proves air moves
"...ripping phat vapes..." is a visual that never came into to my mind until you suggested it. Wow, what an image!
Having the temperature values appear one after the other as you say them makes it much easier to follow and process instead of, like it currently is with the fan showdown, appearing all at once after you've said all the values and are about to move on to the next fan. Please do all the temperature showings like you did with this video!

How have I never noticed the Picard facepalm bust before? I mean, I'm not an avid viewer, but I have been watching the Fan Showdown, and yet this is the first I have payed attention to it.
What a beautiful fan! I'm curious how well it would work in ABS with an acetone bath to smooth it
I love how it's mounted with anti vibration washers! Like that's gonna make eny difference on this big coggy beast
I've actually been thinking of the same thing for quite some time, my motivation for doing it is to remove the hub from the center and put it in the corner. Put the gears on the outside and put the driving motor in the corner. How much of the square can be put into moving air? Have a look at something that I came across that might be interesting to use. I leave the watch address at the bottom of my comment. Just add it after the youtube address. You off course have to leave the default Noctua setup to do this.
watch?v=76yRObMIwa0
This gold or bronze plated would look so steampunk awesome in a build as a center piece. Also would 3 gears instead of 6 inside work better for noise?
That Dogecoin reference alone deserves a like!
I've had this idea since the first few fan showdown videos but my bad fusion 360 skills prevented me from being able to follow through but I'm glad someone else managed to do this!
Yo that Halloween box mod you have on your vape is sick! What's the model?
lol thanks
He said the model, better improve that joke
"This color-changing filament, I'm a fan"
I see what you did there!
Idk how to do 3d printing stuff but I wanna see counter rotating fan blads
Notice how in the smoke test the air is only really getting pulled through the middle of the fan. This actually makes sense because the outer side of the planet gear fans is essentially stationary relative to the rim it is rolling on. The clock hands are by far the fastest-moving part of the fan, which probably also helps with the RPM.
_"Compliance!"_ ;-)
Big props to the person who made that, despite my following criticism, I still find it amazing: but I wish it had been done without those huge armed blades on the center gear. The whole point of testing that design is to see if mini-fans rotating around the hub, instead of just blades, would make the fan draw in/out air better in any way. By adding the huge blades in the center piece it defeats the purpose of that test.
I would love to see it with the noctua 3000 rpm industrial series
Or hear it lol
Seeing all that smoke reminds me that many years ago in a previous life I was a sysadmin, part of my job was looking after a decently sized server room.
Bosses decided to test our emergency response procedures by simulating a fire in the server room (it had a lot of electricity in there... so logical, I guess), using smoke generators that used peanut oil.
They turned off the alarms in the server room, so as not to trip any automatic sprinklers, started the generators, left the server room and closed the doors.
Nothing happened.. the room was pretty well sealed to keep the cooling systems cold air inside and dust out. Nobody outside the server room or it's little adjacent office (where I usually sat, but I was elsewhere at the time) knew that anything was happening, the fire service, warned of the test patiently waited for an alarm that never happened, as the alarms were disabled.
Eventually the light dawned on the bosses, they opened the door, and the firies* called in (by phone) about this time I showed up. The peanut oil mist had got into every corner of the server room.
Apparently the drill went well from that point, except I got in trouble for shouting and swearing at some people who were going to use water extinguishers on an electrical fire, and potentially on live servers. Go figure.
That night the problems started. All the servers, switches, power supplies and UPS failed one after another.
Peanut oil is very sticky when applied as a mist. Being a mist, and pushed around by many many fans, it coated the insides of every machine, then dust stuck to the sticky oil. The dust got in, as the server room doors were left open to clear the copious smoke.
Every piece of equipment eventually overheated and shut down, some power supplies even shorted.
I spent many many hours stripping and cleaning each piece of equipment. Tape back up system hardware just got trashed and replaced.
Database admins, software engineers etc all had to be called in to fix errors due to the "sudden and unscheduled server stoppages"
Due to the downtime much data wasn't collected, many processes had to stop. Quite a few components needed replacing.
It was a very expensive fire drill. If only they asked the people who looked after the equipment for a bit of advice before hand
* our nickname for the base fire service
Not first, just mildly early
Im happy that the designer went with the double helical gears instead of the herringbone, I believe that was key to making this work. The herringbone are soo intolerant of misalignment. The white lithium grease is perfect for this, lubricated enough to allow the gears to wear in.
"when I'm in work" - this channel isn't your job? Do you want to turn it into your work? If so maybe push your Patreon more, and I'm not sure how much your sponsors are paying you, but make sure it's a good rate by checking against other TH-camrs - e.g. EEVBlog doesn't take sponsors, but Dave said that at around 50k subs the average sponsor would offer $3k per video in groups of 3-5 videos per contract (and that was the offered price without negotiation).
Also if you're ok with revealing it, what is your day job?
I'm gonna be honest here. I have no idea how I came across this channel, but something about these unique fans has me captivated and interested. I love it
that fan would be ideal for a case-con. the noise gets the attention for sure, the intricate mechanism is sure to keep it.
the only thing it is missing is RGB... but having no RGB is just another detail that makes it unique.
a 20 cm version should be interesting.
The angled gear teeth actually quite clever. It might just look like it's stylized but if i'm not mistaken it's the only thing holding the gears centered so they don't wander and eventually fly off.
The smoke test was really interesting actually. The side shot showed that it pulled air from the outside and blew it through the fan close to the hub, which is ironic because most fans have the exact problem, yet there seemed to be a decent dispersion of air flow on the backside. Be cool if we could get a shot of the fan in the smoke test from the "afterburner" point of view. I also noticed, some smoke boiled over the edge and ran into the "thrust column" on the backside, getting pulled into the exhaust trail.
This is my all time favorite submission, it's the coolest
That is the single most insane looking fan that I've seen. It makes the vase fan look entirely plain.
Overeingineerd, louder and works worse than his cheaper competitors, way more moving parts so more probable to break. This is really a luxury watch by the look and the spirit!
Not to hate it, this is awesome as a project, really impressed!
Kudos to the fan designer. if there was a way to make it more quiet I think this would make a viable commercial option
I Know that I Super Late to comment here but The Tic Toc Clock Fan planetary fans look like they were designed to push air when they rotate and the top fan pulls air so the two are working against each other. I might be wrong, But if I'm right I would like to see a fixed version of this fan to see how it would actually perform when properly designed.
wow! that thing actually have some surprisingly decent exhaust velocity. did not expect that!
People are so creative!
This model is wonderful!
BRO! Flight of the Navigator ref? Absolutely YES!
That is equal parts engineering and art! Now you need it permanently rotating at something like 15-20 rpm on the fan board to show all the moving parts in their glory :)
Clockwork is so amazing. Sounds like it has tons of flex and tons of tolerance. If it had less tolerance it’d probably get stuck though. Lubrication is key to clockwork, but quiet gears require a rigid structure and tighter tolerances. Sadly, plastic isn’t known for either of those capabilities. I wonder how the fan would perform if it were made from another, more sturdy, material.
You know, the thing that this brings to mind is just the idea of a bearing-less fan. In theory, bearings are great. They provide easy, low-friction, high-tolerance motion. However, they go bad SO often that one can't help but long for a better system.
I think there's a real market for premium fans that sacrifice on their price point in order to operate reliably and quietly for...well, as long as the motor.
Awesome fan and nice work again.
Put some straws in the end of the tube and seal the space between them to direct the flow (like a patern of individual streams of fog)
oh. my. god. I had thought that such a design would be interesting to see. My god. I'm so happy someone actually did it, as I dont have the modeling skills to even attempt something like that.
Use superlube multipurpose ptfe oil. The Teflon will make it run much smoother. There is a grease version but greases are for longevity and moisture reduction for gears, motors and rails.
Lithium and metal greases are for metal to metal applications.
When you clean your fan motors you use mineral oil so that it also lubes the stator.
YOU NEED TO START MAKING THE CHART FOR LOUDEST FANS.
Thats more creative than most silent
You want people to make ear bleeders? Like a fan made of whistles......imagine how much sound that would make
5:58 Flight of the Navigator! I still have the VHS of that movie, I watched that SO MANY times as a kid!!!
I am also a big... FAN... of that filament
A planetary gear set fan? Pretty badass. In an automatic transmission, you'll find a more practical version of this. The planets (6 small gears) are riveted into an assembly and spline into the ring gear (the outer toothed ring), and the sun gear slides in between the planets. There are roller bearings that keep the different components spaced out so there isn't this much friction.
This 100% would make a steampunk PC build actually work. This is awesome.
TIME really flies when you're having fun... 👍😎
It's the blades that need remodeling to improve drag and reduce sound. This was amazing!
I came here for nothing other than to watch you test fan designs. Now I want to see if I can make a box fan into this
Would be cool to see in stores practical fans but with intricate designs like these, awesome fan and great video
Even IF the fan sucks in operation, it still ROCKS for design!!!
Yeah, I would get that and print it out and then put it into a sealed acrylic box and just run it with a PSU and a potentiometer. .. not to cool anything but just to look bitching!
we need a sub-category for volume, you really should be tracking that on a spreadsheet too. I think it would be hilarious to find out the loudest AND most efficient ways to move air are.
imagine having a fan in your PC that only spooled up as an alert and was actually a small air raid siren. "HEY, TEMPS ARE TOO HIGH, NOTICE ME SEMPAI!!!" WAAAAAAAAAAAA
I haven't seen this channel in so long that I forgot that this channel was the original reason I wanted to learn blender (to make fans)
If you are looking for a good lubricant for use with any kind of plastic or Light-use metal parts, I would recommend liquid silicone. I have used it myself on several occasions and it is an absolute dream to work with, just a couple drops would probably be able to coat all of the surfaces of that fan.
You should probably check the rpms again. After wearing in the gears it probably went up some.
It's so facinating to look at, I could see this in some sort of steampunk build or something
FAN SHOWDOWN! Man I love this series. 27th place, nope I was off a few.
I bet it would look wild with the gears in even more colors, going by how that one outlier looked as it was whipping around.
Gives a whole new meaning to 'Fan-Art'
2:51 hehe good one man
I jumped at the music right after the greasing(6:00) because I was ready for the thing to explode. Only jump scare I've ever laughed at.
"Just at work...." infernal *oh shit*, excuse buffering for bosses who might watch the channel... "on lunch"
