Just say no to sweat stains. Build your own bladeless fan.

July 5, 2018

In a recent video, Navin Khambhala demonstrates how to construct your own inexpensive bladeless fan using a bucket, a spray bottle, PVC piping, a 12V DC motor, and a 12V DC battery.

In a recent video, Navin Khambhala demonstrates how to construct your own inexpensive bladeless fan using a bucket, a spray bottle, PVC piping, a 12V DC motor, and a 12V DC battery.
