Electric fan help

[Wayne]

Hum I very well might be wrong about the mA. I will have a look at the few transformers I have (from various phones, motors...) if not now I know what to look for. Can I try Radio Shack?

You can try anywhere you feel convenient. I told you those stores because they're cheap. You can look at the Pawn shops and Flee market on 118 Ave .

Ooo theres a pawn shop on 23rd ave that I get vids from. If they come up empty theres a Value Village a few blocks from there Which areas of the store are they located?

LOL yeah theres still pawn shops on 118th ave! I live on the south side of Edmonton thou, unfortunatly not a whole lot of pawn shops in the 15km radius of my house except the aftermentioned places Thanks for the help, now I have some treasure hunting this weekend

I bought some fans from a computer store in town. For the power I bought a powered usb adapter of some sort. Don't even recall what it was exactly but it was the cheapest thing in the store that came with a 12V power supply. I threw the usb bit out and the power supply connected directly to the fans right out of the box lol.

If it says 50/60 hz. Its an ac fan, the hz is the frequency the current is alternating at, hence Alternating Current (ac). DC (direct current) does not have a frequency. That fan requires a 12V ac transformer.
