Hello,
I'm planning to add cooling fans into my next costume build, a 9' G1 Transformers Devastator rig similar to this: http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y470/Martaxus/devastator-old_zps1tysoxul.jpg. I want to have a number of small cooling fans in the rig, 1 on each thigh and at least two in the torso.
I've wired a lot of LED circuits with resistors & 9V batteries, but not fans. I understand the draw is much greater and would try to use the smallest units I can find, hence the 5V .15A hardware. I don't think the LED circuit designer tool at http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz is ideal for this, or is the 'diode forward voltage' 1500mA here?
Could someone please point me to a reference/tutorial for this?
Thanks!
