I have a hobby project with a fan controlled by an Arduino that extracts humid air when this is detected.
Is this considered safe in general, or at all? I'm using a typical laptop PSU for power, this one: https://www.amazon.com/UpBright®-Adapter-FSP050-DBCD1-Supply-Charger/dp/B00AI1APJC
I imagine it is possible that it could get humid enough for the pins on the Arduino to become bridged, but is 12 volts enough with fresh water to be any problem? There is also the possibility that something inside the fan might short (I don't know how, I'm just speculating), but again this is also only 12 volts (the fan draws 2 A), and this is fresh water.
If this is crazy, please tell me and I won't use it, if not then I'd also like to hear it so I can feel safer.
