OK, all you need to do is find an ac adaptor. Anything from 5 to 12 volts
is ok. It must say Output: DC

The lower the voltage the slower the fan will spin. All you are trying to
do is move the air around.

Once you find an adaptor just hook the two wires of the adaptor to the
two wires of the fan. We are dealing with low voltages here so you
won't get shocked. Use electrical tape to insulate the wires. Duct tape
will work too.

You want the fan sucking in air on the side of the fan motor and blowing
out the other side. To change direction of the fan just swap the wires.

You will blow the fan up, not down. Blowing is up will move air somewhat
evenly around the bator. Blowing it down towards the eggs is bad.

thank you PC!!! sounds pretty easy! Once all these eggs hatch, I'm going to fiddle with it...im sure i do have an adaptor around somewhere if not i'll buy something with one! LOL!

I didn't have any adaptors since I just moved, but I got one at radio shack for $5, and the guy wired it for me too!

Question for anyone esp PC....my fan has 3 wires, you mention two....sooooooo what do i do with one of the three? LOL

 

[shelleyd2008]

It's probably a ground wire, just have the guy at radio shack do it!

lol i might just do that

I have nooo clue what im doin , hubby said he'd do it before he went to bed (when I got info on what exactly to do) so maybe he knows...but last time i checked he wasnt an electrician! LOL!

That is another great idea from Shelleyd, as well as mounting the fan to the window.

Glad to see you in this thread Shel!!!

Mine had 3 wires white, black , and yellow. You don't need the yellow just cut it off.
