Make a USB fan

In this instructable I'll show you how to make a usb fan. It's prettty simple, took me about.....5 minutes. Average cost will probably run around....$6, if you find good deals. I had most of the materials lieing around.
What You will need:
1.Wire Strippers
2. USB cable
3. 1.5 volt motor or higher/ preferably higher depending on the output of you usb hub
4. soldering skills/ or glue




Enjoy!

Step 1 USB cable

First, strip the outer layer of the usb cable, be careful! You dont want to cut or split the wires on the inside!
There should be 4 wires inside, as shown in the pic.
We only need 2 ,so tape up the green and white wires.

I found the motor peg sticking out the top but why should I attack fan blades? lol jk

this might be a dumb question but i was wondering does it just start up right away when you plug it in or not, i mean do u have to do somthing on the computer?

Nope, it starts as soon as u plug it in! This is why I would put a switch into the circuit so u can turn it off and on easier. hope this helps!
