“Maximize 120%!” I tried using the fan from a cooling work suit (´ω｀)

27 July 2023

After Makita… now it’s a cooling work suit…
I’m in trouble~
I bet there are lots of people thinking that.

Hooray for “extreme heat”!
Hehe… I can’t believe these topics keep coming. What a big wave (*´ω｀*)
Not quite as much as Makita though.

When I can get something, I take it. That’s the rule (‘Д’)

The cooling work suit will probably be put away soon.
But wouldn’t you want to keep using just the fan?
Ideally until it breaks…

I gave it some thought.

I’ll show you the finished product first (´ω｀)

Manufacturing time: 20 minutes… done in a flash.
Well, I just drilled holes in the board and cut it…

It would be difficult without a shearing machine and press…

Making excellent use of the fan as a tool♪

If you drill a hole and thread it through the board, you can place it on your desk.
It’s surprisingly useful since your hands feel cool.

You can use it to dry helmets ◎
You can use it to ventilate closets ◎
You can hang it in your car ◎
You can use it to cool your notebook PC ◎

The possibilities are endless.

I wanted to drill 91φ holes, but…

The punch I had on hand was only 92φ, so it’s a bit larger.
A punch is convenient for drilling holes in sheet metal.

I’m not good with hole saws because they’re scary and loud.

I bent it as needed using a board-bending jig.

I made sure it stands upright and won’t blow away from the wind.
The four holes are for hanging.

I also added a 25φ hole later for running cables.

Version 1 (without cable hole)

Since it’s for a cooling work suit,you might think “isn’t the fan backwards?”but the wind comes out from the bulging side.
If I attached the fan the other way, it was a bit unstable ( ；∀；)

Simulating “hanging in the car”♪

It’s surprisingly nice…
My truck’s air conditioning doesn’t work well, so this might make things much more comfortable.

The thin profile is really good. It doesn’t take up much space.
