Hooking computer fan to stiil air Incubator?

[ziggywiggy]

How do I hook a computer fan to my still air incubator? The fan has black, blue and red wire. My incubator only has two wires(black and white) coming in. Any ideas before I mess my incubator up? Can it even be done?
Thanks

To my understanding, computer fans are 12 volt. You cannot hook them up to your wiring on your incubator ( 120 Volt AC).
If you do you WILL burn-out the fan immediately !!!

You need a transformer that yields approx 12 volts, which you plug into a 120 Volt AC (household outlet) separately.

I used the transformer (plug-in) for one of those "portable telephones" (NOT cell-phone).

Hope this helps.

Thank you. I now have an old stainless steel Bower incubator with a fan. Amazing how high it shot the temperature up. Twenty-four hours and I'll start incubating.
