And I made a short video about it:

Also this could be a cool video idea for Linus

I'd love to know how much airflow it has. I could see Linus daisy chaining like 30 of these together as a case cooling option.

I had a friend who needed a replacement fan for an old space laptop (no i have no idea why.  None whatsoever) anyway it had a 25mm fan with an odd thickness.  Maybe a few of those could be kluge to do the necessary.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

According to the datasheet it does 0.40 CFM and 0.011 cubic metres per minute at 5 volts. Yeah it's not a whole lot, if I hold a thin strip of paper behind it it barely moves at all.

Also 30 of these fans would cost $300 because they're $10 a piece... that's gonna be an expensive video.

So yeah, 30 of them would equal 3 crappy fans.

Wow I thought 15mm was the smallest they got, guess I'm wrong. Thanks for informing me
