Desk/Computer Fan as generator for Mini-Wind Turbine?
The title pretty much says it all.
I'm not an engineer but have been tinkering (mostly with computers) and various inventions my whole life.
I wanted to build a mini wind-turbine to hang off my fire escape in New York City.
I eventually intend to power a fiber optic light show with the system but I'm trying to get the turbine down first.
I see no reason why a desk fan couldn't be converted into a generator, the only hurdle I can imagine would have something to do with the fan being either AC or DC.
Any thoughts?

sarveshguptaWelcome to CE Eufouria 👍
Nice thought buddy -
husi8400ur idea seems to be very interesting dude.... but a fan blade cannot be used as a turbine thats bcoz it is designed for the purpose of blowing air ..whereas turbine blades are aerodynamic in shape unlike a table fan's blade...do some research on turbine blade aerodynamics.. and also on well's turbine. i think it might help u with ur concept...goodluck...
