Fan Controller - Th1, the 50K thermistor, is a standard type. Mine was a bar or rectangular looking thingy. Available from Tandy/Radio-Shack. Almost any type will do. I experimented with different models from 22K to 100K and all worked fine after replacing the trimmer pot. The one used in the above circuit diagram was a 50K model. This 50K was measured at exactly 25 °C and with 10% tolerance. The resistance increases as the surrounding temperature decreases. Tolerance for my application (cooling a large powersupply coolrib) is 10%. __ Designed by Izhar Fareed
Fan controller adapts to system temperature - 09/25/97 EDN-Design Ideas Any piece of electronic equipment--whether it be a lab instrument, an audio amplifier, or a PC--that relies on a cooling fan to control internal temperature is a potential source of noise pollution or even hearing damage. Most of the time, the fan's noise level is probably much higher than necessary, because it has enough capacity to move Design by Kerry Lacanette, National Semiconductor, Tucson, AZ
Fan controller made efficient with an Audio Amp - 11/09/00 EDN-Design Ideas You can use discrete transistors to vary power to a fan to control its speed. However, with a simple modification, you can use an audio-amplifier IC to control a fan module (Figure 1). The LM4872. PDF contains multiple circuits, scroll to find the one of interest Design by Wallace Ly, National Semiconductor Corp, Santa Clara, CA
Fan Dual-Controller - Each fan turns off when the temperature drops 5 degrees below its turn-on temperature. For example, if the dial is set to 80 degrees, the fan turns on at 80 degrees and turns off at 75 degrees. This prevents the fan from cycling on and off rapidly, which would occur if the fan turned on at 80, started to cool the cabinet, and then immediately turned off at 79.
Fan On/Off Control By Light - This circuit lets you turn on/off a fan by just directing torchlight or other light toward its light-dependent resistor (LDR). The circuit is powered from a 5V power supply. Preset VR1 and...__ Electronics Projects for You

Fan Timer Based On Motorola 68HC908QT2 - My son got his fan in the bedroom. The fan has mechanical timer for 0-180mins. One day it broken. So I got the idea to use Nitron chip to replace the mechanical timer. Someone may ask me why so complicated timer made by microcontroller chip? Actually we can build a timer with 555 and a 14-stage CMOS
counter! The 555 runs astable with time constant controlled by RC and for long period timing we can divide the output frequency of 555 by a CMOS
counter. __ Designed by Wichit Sirichote

Finely Tune the Hue of Blue-Light Sources - 03/17/11 EDN-Design Ideas Get 32 grades of hues between royal-blue and cyan. When coach cars of long-range trains comprised compartments for six to eight passengers, the passengers could choose either “white” or deepblue light. The blue light helped passengers sleep, even when they were not in full darkness. The circuit in Figure 1 lets you set a hue of blue light that can match your favorite blue color. Although you can accomplish this task with another circuit (Reference 1), this circuit provIdeas a finer adjustment of color and uses a narrower range from cyan to royal blue. The light is a mixture from two power LEDs, both from Avago Technologies. Design by Marián Štofka, Slovak University of Technology, Bratislava, Slovakia
