12 Volt Car Fan
3 Answers
I have a fan which I used in my car a number of years ago, it runs from 12 volts, and I would like to be able to either run it from USB cable or a PP3 battery (9 volt) can anybody tell me whether this is possible, and if so, what I will need to do to reduce the voltage required to make it work?

I would recommend you buy a 12Vdc adapter and use this to power the fan, I guess the fan might draw as much as 1A; alternatively purchase a fan designed to be powered from a USB output (fitted with a USB plug).
