How to make a Mini Oscillating Desk Fan from 12v DC Fan W/ Speed Control | DIY

Подробнее о видео

Hi guys! In this video, I show y'all how to build your very own oscillating desk fan from scratch using a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) speed controller. This should keep you cool during the rest of the hot summer days!
P.S. Try to avoid having to use 2 adapters for this device, simply stick to using the 20V laptop adapter and a buck converter module to step down 20V to 5V~ for the oscillation motor.
