PC Fan inside my coolidor ?

[TN_CIGAR_MAN]

Although this doesn't really answer your question about how to run a PC fan, it's still sorta relative to the topic.

I've heard of folks using those new Oust fans in their humidors without the fragrance packet. The fragrance packet comes sealed and therefore the fan will not taint your cigars.

Runs on a D cell battery and cycles on 5 minutes, off 15 minutes. I thought I heard somewhere that it would run for a couple months on one D cell battery.

Here's the photo . On the left side of the fan is the speed switch(low ,medium and high). I let the fan run for about 10 hours today and no visible problems . The DC converter I used is a Sony from an old cordless telephone that I had in my basement for some reason . The good thing about the connector end for the PC fan being soldered to the DC converter is that if the fan should burn out I can just get another one and replacement is easy - Plug and play . Thank you for your help , if not for your tips I wouldn't have this hooked up yet .

I really see no need for a fan in a humidor. The RH always evens out in a humidor even a large one.

Again, I would not bother because it accomplishes nothing....

If anything it would be more usefull in keeping temperature constant within the unit.

It could also be usefull for more rediculous methods of maintaining temperature like peltiers or heaters and getting the air to pass over the heating unit so that within the unit there isn't one super hot area and one super cold. Probably only usefull in areas of extereme temperature shift where the owner doesn't have temperature controlled rooms.

Also an interesting project for the cigar smoking geek who likes to tech up everything they own.
