Idea ? ? Using Solar Panels to power small fans

[jpstod]

I was just thinking and sometimes that hurts

I wonder if the small solar panels would produce enough power to run small fans???

The kind the sell at Michael's or Hobby Lobby to teach kids about solar energy and

if a 6500K bulb would produce enough light to power the Fan????

It could probably work, but not very strong, try it.

fans start as little as 5v... and 250-400 mA... some even less... so yeah, the right one should work no problem... match up the voltage for the fan, and the amperage should be higher on the panel and you're fine!
