Introduction: Wind Powers Everything

By

This is fun science project that is cheap and you learn a little bit and you get to power your USB device!

How cool is that!?

I hope you like it. Please vote for me.

Step 1: Unplug Everything From the Wall and Prepare to Be BLOWN AWAY!

Get off the grid!

Step 2: Get These Parts...

Computer fan $14

MintyBoost kit $19.50 (www.adafruit.com/product/14)

Wind $0

Step 3: Connect the Parts

2 wires! Just hook em up!

The MintyBoost will get it's power from the fan and control the output to a USB device.

You will get 500 amps at 5 V out if you put the wind into the MintyBoost.

(We do think you could do this with a transistor for less money but the MintyBoost has all the parts and connection for the USB. Just so you know, we don't work for the MintyBoost people!)

Step 4: Plug in Your USB Device.

Step 5: Get Some Wind, Dude!

I made a mount for the car window and cushioned it with tape so it wont hurt the window, but SEE OUR VIDEO to get more ideas. It says it all!
