Keep cool with a smartphone fan for $1.20

If the next bead of sweat drips from your forehead during the summer months and you could use a cooling down, but there is not a drop of water nearby, the smartphone fan might be able to help you.

• Smartphone fan
  • at AliExpress for $1.20 (8 Pin & Micro USB) | AliExpress for $1.67 (USB C)

The smartphone fan uses the power of your cell phone battery to give you up to 16,000 rpm. According to the manufacturer, it operates with a voltage of 5V and a nominal power of 1 Watt. With a weight of only 18 grams it is hardly noticeable and can easily be taken to the lake in every bag. You can get it in different summer colours like orange, green, blue and pink.

The smartphone fan is available in different versions. If you are an iPhone user, you will need the appropriate connector, as the fans usually work with Micro-USB. There is also an alternative that works with both USB and Mini USB or micro USB with an 8 Pin adapter. As you can imagine, the fan will draw a lot of power from your battery – unless you have a battery monster like the Oukitel K600 Plus – so you can put the fan into your power bank and run it over it.

For this prize you surely have a funny gadget for the summer that will hopefully keep a cool head in between. We recommend to order a few more directly in case someone breaks down or maybe just to give away. They are definitely welcome guests in the heat in our office.
