- Ever wish your electric fan would run slower and be more quiet? I will show you how in this video. Cheaply and effectively make your fan less noisy!
Convert your standard electric fan to a more quiet electric fan.
Modify your electric fan to be more quiet.
Make your electric fan less noisy.
Thank you!!! This saved the day for me.... now I don't have to buy a new lower power fan! Thanks for the details too! Very well made video!
Does this reduce the watts
@@donosasxchanger6692 yes, it reduces the overall watts plus the watts that the fan use. Just be careful because the incandescent bulb get hot even at that low wattage
Who else is watching this with a noisy fan they just bought?😅
me! mine is for school lol
@@fayer-gi5jk SAME LOL
Yes! Mine sounds like a speed boat engine 😭 trying to sleep with it on is awful
Same
Same 😅
Great explanation! Finally someone who thinks like the way I can relate to...
Thank You so much!🎉
Great video. I don't think it would be remotely applicable in my use case, but it was a very entertaining educational video
Thank you for your testing and explanations of wave lengths to the effects of the noise level!
Why they don't make them slower to begin with?
the numbers should keep going up
Thanks i enjoyed from iraqi kurdistan
Thus video was one of the rarest vudeo
One of the very best video i have watched up till now.. Now at least i can hv a good nite sleep Regards from 🇵🇰
Really interesting, I've been into fans and air purifiers for years I was not familiar with this method. It particularly of interest because I find in the majority of cases one is trying to do what you are create a good quality silent low speed. That still moves enough air. So the variable transformers while they are the gold standard are very heavy and expensive but most of the time it's only the quiet setting one wants.
Great video thanks
Thank you. Perfect explanation
This was helpful. Thank you.
grabbed one of those 5A red models from amazon, $50 one because vevor suck (no pun intended) and wont deliver the $30 one here.
it worked like a charm 🙏🏼 your a godsend.
i have an 18" on the wall and if my ear pointed that way the hum was horrendous, if i turned it was bareable. im kind of sensitive to these noises, they keep me in a high state of stress for some reason. but now its gone . just the fluttering of the fan blades at 90v, no burning smells so far (😂 ive had some bad speed regulators) even the metal frame has stopped vibrating. 👍 ty so much. wonderful man.
i would have gone the bulb route but with the price of sockets and finding bulbs that will work these days i went with the red chunk. i need another for my extractor but they are pricey. (#vevor 🗡️👀)
Thanks for the info. I've been trying to slow down antique electric fans that were designed to run on closer to 100 V instead of the 110 - 120 of today's lines. They do make transformers to run Japanese appliances (100V) on North American voltage and it works great for my 1916 12" GE but they are large and expensive. I am currently trying to slow down a tiny 6" GE from the 1920s and I'm looking for a simple, small and cost effective way to do so. I'll have to see if I can incorporate this method. I am curious why your house runs on 220V when you sound like an american and have american style plugs and outlets? I would expect 220V only for your oven and dryer.
i live in the philippines
Very informative! Thanks for posting.
Thanks for sharing.
I'd actually be willing to shell out $100 for a regulator because I need to have a floor fan pointed my direction for health reasons (advancing peripheral neuropathy that makes it really hard for my skin to tell temperature and I end up feeling constantly too hot when I shouldn't). My previous box fan was tolerable but the motor finally burned out and the new fan is notably louder and pushes air too hard even on the lowest setting. I can see this being an ongoing problem because I hate online returns and I know any fan will burn its motor out at some point anyways.
So thanks for the recommendation, now I'm lost reading Amazon reviews and wondering how to pick a regulator that won't burn out in two months or catch fire. x.x
Hello - you should consider a fan with variable speed. I’d recommend the vornado energy smart fans - they can be adjusted from very slow to very fast. This will serve you better than trying to slow AC fans
I tried it out and it works fine. One question though, does this use more electricity? I mean will there be more electricity consumption in this way since it's powering two bulbs apart from the fan?
More electicity than what?
In the video it's answered that that it uses less electricity >>compared to running the fan at full power
he already said it will use more if you use resistance.. but i have a transformer that changes from 220 to 110, and i used it, it's working perfect
i did it... and it's magical... speed drops not to half ...but a lot more, no sound at all
What worked for me was to change the fan blades from 3 blades to 5 and it made wounders for me, lost some fan power but made my so much more quiet, probably wont work well if the fan is not powerful enough
if you can find a five blade set of fan blades that fit your existing fan!
Thanks Larry.
I had a fan like that but with an included 3 speed controller, i dropped the voltage to 75% using a fan regulator ($30 amazon)..it worked..but next day it was dead. Im guessing its the pcb that had issues.
Also, why not just wire in a rheostat?
Just add some heat with incandescent light bulbs?
Does anybody know if it makes sense to take a 220 to 110 step down transformer to take 110v and step it down to 55 volts? In other words, if you fed 110v into a 220v step down transformer (a copper coil one in particular), would you get 55v out - and not create some other problem/hazard.
yes it would
I don't have anything that runs off 220 v. Can this work was 110 v.
yes
very nice!
How can I identify the type of motor I have in my fan? I tried to reduce speed with a AC motor speed controller BTA 16 600B 2000W and the fan makes a noisy buzz
He mentioned in the video don't use a dimmer, in your case speed controller, It will make noises
experiment. In most cases the light bulb method will work. Either that or it will cause a catastrophic nuclear explosion (just kidding)
Does this reduce the running watts??
Yes
Just buy a variable resistor and use your vary the speed. Can’t sleep with the light bulbs just as the noise Did.
Bruh is that really the only way
if u have a metal elecy, u can just bend it and the air resistance will make it slower
but this will load the motor down and cause it to use more electricity
Nice
Or you can just put an ac capacitor in series to reduce power very efficiently
Tell me more can I just add a cap in series on fans?
@@grandtheftauto1233just lower the value of capacitor that's all
I am not that smart in electronics. I don't doubt that your method would work, but again, the average person does not know how to add a capacitor. The light bulbs anyone can do. It's low tech.
that table is SO shiny
Lower the value of the capacitor it will works
Grate Sir
Interesting
Damn its not that deep, if its just for white noise and its too loud put the fan inside a closet or further away
It's not.. you want a gentle breeze but don't want to hear the fan
We've a fan that you'd need to move 100 feet away. It has three speeds. High, higher, and highest.
Cheers Larry.
The motor is not the problem on mine, it’s the blades, I bought a new one and it’s much noisier than others & I don’t want to slow it down. Anyone know how to fix the blades to be quieter ?!
Twist them inwards slightly will make them harder to push air and slow them down
