Magnetic Fans?

theoretically it works and it actually does. pretty much the same principle as monorails and the superman ride that goes 100mph and shots you straight up


but magnets and EMP are harmful to computers so make sure that theres no magnetic leakage

yes, your right about your comparisons, it is the same thoery, but you are slightly mis-guided on the whole magnets kill computers part. Yes, they do kill computers, but it has to be an extremely powerful magnet to do any damage, and i would guess that these fans are far withing the safe range for magnets to be inside a computer. I have no evidence to back that up, but im pretty sure such an item would never make it out of a design phase if it was going to fry everyones harddrives within seconds of installation....??

...what's different about this fan? The only real difference in this fan and others is a little clip on the bottom that keeps the fan from flying out if it gets going too fast. I have a fan that runs using this same principal in my Sun System. The clip that held the shaft down shattered a while back, so I just cleaned it out. I just have to keep an eye on it so it doesn't go flying around the case!

not really


theres more to it than that


these fans have magnetics to spin the fan blade by alternating the pole of the magnet. its has alternating North and South poles and the fan blad console has the teh same thing. but on the base station the poles are North South North South etc and they attract the opposite poles on the blade console. then when they are about to connect the poles on the base station switch repelling the fan console. this is done very fast making it fluid. and since there is no moving parts (IE bearings) there is no noise except of the air turbulence of the air being moved by the blades


its complicated but yet its simple to understand

Thats how all electric motors work.... The bearings is a different story though.

I know...and this is exactly how those fans posted work. Probably the only difference between these and the one I removed the little clip on is mine still has a shaft. Remove that and they'd be identical...

Ballistic fan.... That would be something I'd like to see....
