Fans for Canopy

[PirateFish52]

I need to add a fan or two to my canopy, as condensation is occuring on my one MH. Funny though, as it is happening when I am not running my MH's.

Either way, does anyone have fans for sale, or DIY ideas that I can use?

Don't want to spend a ton on this.

Thanks.

Water condenses on cool surfaces.

How about putting 2 computer fans in the back of the hood. One blowing in and one sucking out?

I am interested. how do you hook them up with electricity

I dont know why all the webpages i found come up under drug related sites????

But it might work.

here is one site i found really quick doing a google search

here is another site


Also you could probably buy a cheap powersupply and plug the fans into that and plug that into the wall?? I probably can get you a powersupply if you wanted to go that route.

Maybe someone has a better answer??

Does Home Depot carry these types of fans, or a computer type fan like Office Depot?

Iam sure office depot has computer fans but Im not sure they plug into the wall. They probably have the ends that go into a computer. Let me know if you need the fans.

Computer case fans run on 12volts DC.
you will nead a wall transformer, you can get both at Radio shack.
A DC fan has a + and a - the wall trans also has a + and - wire you want to connect them that way or the fan will run backwards and not move much air. If you look around your house you may have a wall transformer left over from a old device look on the box part of the trans and read the out put volts you want 12v.

Also if you have any openings in the canopy such as an open top or grilles have both blowing in. If you put them one going in and the other going out you effectively only have one fan. Its like a bulkhead fitting, no matter what size pipe you put on either side it still has to all go through the same hole. I run two radio shack fans with a transformer from same. Not only is voltage important but you have to make sure the transformer will handle the amps as well.

I have a six brand new 3" fans that run on 110v AC. If you are interested let me know. I was thinking $10 each or so. They would not need a transformer at all and are just like THESE FANS.
