Hey guys,
Since i was at Lamington the whole day, i just went over to Chunam Lane, which wasnt at all hard to find.
And from the Shop, Blueyesdude referred, bought a 120mm x 35mm Fan.

The guy told me, its 160CFM.
Put it on, and no one was holding it, it pushed itself into a wall.
Lol. So i just bought another piece, ofcourse.
Rs.550 for it. Pretty decent for a 160CFM Fan i say.
Plus Rs.15 for a Fan guard :P. I love my fingers thanks :P.

Total Cost Rs.565.

here are a few pics.
Ill have to cut the Wire, from the 80mm Fan an attach it to the 120mm.
Im doing that now, just called for some electrical tape :).


120mm Fan + Grill + 80mm Fan, which will be killed soon.


Fan front.


Fan Back.

Sorry, i was too bored to put off the Flash :P.

Ill post back after i do the mod ;).
 
That thing will be as loud as my car :P

Do take a short sound clip from your nGage when its at full speed and upload please :)

Electric tapes bleed and become GOOEY... instead go to the Hardware Tools shop right next to Computer Selection and Cassette World and ask them for Heat Shrink Sleeving - this is a proper shop and not the guys sitting on the street - this is much better to cover joints in wires and looks neat. This comes in various sizes so check the diameter of sleeving you will require.

To use this just cover the joint with a piece of this sleeve and heat it with a soldering iron and it shrinks tight over the wire - ask for the material made by LG - that is good stuff.

If you want to see a picture of this sleeving just ask....

Here is a picture of 2 different diameters of sleeving and of it used to cover a joint on a fans wire. You can see how the sleeving has shrunk tight over the joint on the wires.

And where can I get a solder iron? Is there any homely substitute for it?

YES - hot air from a hair dryer (Crazy_Eddy's idea - see post no 2 in this thread :) ) or a hot metal object like a knifes blade heated over a fire - you can also carefully hold a lit match near it - dont let the flame itself cover the wires !! Once the rubber material is heated it is quite soft and you can press it down with your fingers.
 
Regular matches and cigarette lighters have an oxidising(yellow coloured) flame!!:)

Get cigarette lighters with windproof flame at any cigarette shop!!
Cheap ones cost 10-20 bucks and quite adequate for this job:) and lighting cigarettes too:rofl: !!
These have a Reducing(blue coloured/ colourless) flame!!
They provide heat for heating/inflammation without burning the surface!!
Remember adjusting bunsen burners in chem lab for heating!!:P

These lighters also have metallic element in the path of the flame to produce colourful flame- red/green/pink...!!
Else flame is almost invisible in bright daylight/sunlight!!
Remember acidic and basic salts analysis in chem lab!!:P

When used for an instant, the intense heat will shrink/soften any plastic/rubber without burning it, unlike regular match/candle flame!!:ohyeah:

My friend uses the same for all his Electronics projects/Handiworks!!:ohyeah:
I learnt this trick from him!!:P

Warning: Please do not try this anywhere!!

Get this lighter only if your parents trust you enough, especially if you are a non- smoker i.e.!!
Smoker's who have not disclosed- Rejoice!!
you can now cover up posessing a lighter as essential component for Electronics projects!!:rofl:

On a serious note-
Regular flame heats surface and hence if you touch it by mistake, it will not cause a serious burn/boil if you withdraw your hand/skin when you realise it!!

The reducing flame is very intense and doesn't heat/burn the surface, so by the time you realise it, the heat has penetrated deep inside and a severe burn/boil is inevitable!!
 
Simpler way out. At the same shop mentioned by Eazy, right above the entrance there are rolls of plastic tubing in various colors red, blue and yellow. Available in diameters from about 2mm to 5mm. Buy one with diameter just slightly greater than the wires you want to connect. Cut a piece about 3cm long. Pass one of the wires you want to connect thru this piece so that it emerges from the other side. Now connect the wires. Pull the piece of tubing to cover the exposed metal conductors you have joined. That's it. Obviously getting tubing with the right diameter is important to make sure it does not slip/move. The stuff is really cheap, so buy one meter each of all the tubing available. Useful stuff, insulation tape replacement for electrical / phone wires.
 
This delta is ok fan ...the same quality as the 120mm sunon one avialable for 250/- ....for a decent stuff get that Pabst or Yate loon or Sanyo Denki ones ....
 
Yate loon is 50 CFM :|.

Ok, i looked this fan up, its actually 120CFM. Im gonna go and abuse the Shop keeper, next time. :(.

Its a 41dBa fan. Its very silent. I cant hear it when my cabbies close. Cant hear it at all.
 
120 CFM is anyway pretty good, but do u get any higher? And how do u know the noise level, is it written on the sticker? The problem is i cant even find a single 120 mm fan here. Does anyone know where i can get one in blore?
