I made this project because I wanted a way to automatically control the speed of a DC fan according to the temperature read by a LM35 sensor. I had a few problems with the PWM part mainly because the ...

This is an easy tutorial showing how you can control the brightness of an LED or adjust the speed of a DC fan using Arduino Board, a small BC547 transistor and a potentiometer. In my example the whole ...

Here is a simple mod to allow the speed of any 12V fan to be varied. All we need to do is insert a rheostat or variable resistor in the 12V wire to the fan. The rheostat should be rated at least 3 ...

When implementing cooling solutions for electronic equipment, system designers are confronted with a complex set of variables. The cooling requirements are typically dynamic, and ambient temperatures ...

I've got a 120mm 120VAC fan I've been using as a desk fan, plugged directly into mains with a lamp cord. (Note for non-US readers: mains here is 120VAC, 60Hz, so I am using it at its rated specs.) I ...
