Standard electrical computer tower fan. 12V, 0.23 Amps.
I plugged this to a USB plug that has an output of 5V & supposedly 0.5 Amps (the USB reported standard).
The fan worked, but what are the reprocussions after long use due to the mis-matched Voltage & current?
Plz excuse my lack of electronics knowledge...but is there a simple - DIY - way to hook up few of these fans to a USB port safely & properly (by electronics standards) for long term use?? eg. solder in a resistor in the circuit or something??
Much appreciated.....
