My Custom made mask fan!

Hey!  How do you like my fan I installed in my mask?  The picture quality is bad because my flash on my digicam is bright( I had to dull it out).  But what I did was install a small perfume fan that my mom got from target * the perfume canister isn't inside it anymore*. I took the fan apart and took out the fan and also the small chip that it had.  I took cardboard peices and glued them together and cut out the size of the motor and the batter case.  After that i put the chip in bubble wrap and put the whole thing in my mask and glued it!  It works really well and it isn't loud like the special fans made for masks!

heres the first picture of the actuall component, the fan,cardboard, and the battery. I still need to make a battery case for the battery.

the next is a really hard-to-see picture of a semi-side view.

heres an outside view of were the fan is installed, its hard to notice

the last one is of the whole mask.

I just made a battery housing for this set up.  Its made of carboard and it very sturdy.  Actually

Whoa, easy on the capslock up there.

Good job, nice to see some innovation. Odd placement though, you sort of blocked your main breathing area, which might cause more fogging, etc. Hope it works out.

oh,  I put the mask on and ran for several minutes  it actually doesn't fog up the goggles at all.  I tried first above the goggles but that did't work.  But with it on the mouth area helps get that hot panting air out, and the new fresh air pulls it in.  It helps the googles because the fan is a pretty stronge blower.  It blows air around the foam and puts the air near the slot by the temple area

STOP YELLING AT ME!

And nice job, not very bulky like the computer fan ones but doesnt it cut you with the exposed blade or am I missing something?
 

It is kinda close to your mouth but it doesn't hit you. You have to stick your tongue out like an inch but it doesn't hurt when you do because it's made of plastic

Most fans are
made of plastic. Those hurt when you get hit with
them. So I think it will hurt if you stick your tongue ont
that thing
