Review on High-performance Fdit PTC Car Fan Air ๐Ÿ”ฅ Heater (12V 100W) - Ideal for Compact Room Spaces by Amber Blackwell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Make a plexiglass box with one of these attached (you'll need to cut out the bent plastic in front of the fan first) and add a microcontroller (I like the PIC18F2455) and a TMP275 temperature sensor for feedback.

They are great for making small heated incubators on the microscope stage for live cell imaging. Make a plexiglass box with one of these (you'll need to cut out the curved plastic fan face first), add a microcontroller (I like the PIC18F2455) and a TMP275 temperature sensor for feedback, and you have a simple incubator at the top of the stage. The fan and heater draw about 4A, so you need a relay for the uController to turn them on and off.

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • Big and bulky
