ok i got a little project under way right now and im taking the motor from a HDD that spins the disks and use it to spin fan blades at 7200RPM/s it will be the best air flow ever
my only concern right now is how much power it takes for the motor to spin 7200RPM/s it sounds rediciulious but im the all great JP ill make it happen just would like some encouragement
ill post project pictures if it turns out right
