Lately I've been thinking about the consequences of my actions. In particular, my carbon footprint on our planet. My background is anything related to information technology. So I have company equipment (rack, servers installed in a rack (4-6), switches (including PoE), IPCAMs, etc.). places my average spend in the *bottom* 5% of similar homes in the area. That got me thinking. How can I reduce power consumption. I started to consolidate my IT equipment. Before the consolidation, IT equipment was consuming around 1000-1200Wh. I managed to consolidate this and now my consumption is around 20-25 watts! Similarly, I started looking at what other things in the house were using power (despite being turned off). Again, I was able to drain about 150 watts of cells that were always plugged in but not used. I wanted to go even further when it came to saving energy. This got me thinking about how many watts a ceiling fan draws. I was surprised to see that a typical ceiling fan draws around 60-75 watts. This got me thinking about using USB fans. With USB 2 you can draw about 2.5 watts, while with USB3 you can draw 4.5 watts. I just didn't realize how efficient these portable USB fans are. So I ordered about 6-7 different USB fans. One of the fans was from TrustTech (6 inch metal desktop mini fan). I was very surprised by the build quality of this fan. All other fans I've ordered had plastic blades except for this one. - like" ;-) After connecting the fan, I noticed that the power consumption is around 3W (the product description on Amazon indicates 5W). The fan noise was on par with other fans. In short, this fan is Excellent value for money I want this fan to have two speeds In short, of all the fans I've compared, this fan came out on top in terms of build quality, noise, power consumption and airflow rate (CFM) High recommended fan!
