This Solar Powered Desk Fan made by Solar Technology has been crafted from perspex. The fan takes advantage of even a small amount of light from a desk lamp to turn its blades and keep you cool.
The Solar Powered Desk Fan is delivered in kit form, from pieces of laser cut perspex that can be easily slotted together by following the instructions provided. The solar panel has been placed on the back of the fan, and though some thought should be used concerning the placement of the solar panel to take advantage of any natural or artificial light source, it is important to place it where you will benefit from the fans breeze. The solar panel is large enough to take advantage of even a relatively weak artificial light so is suitable for any office.
The desk fan is suitable for children aged 6+. It does make a decent learning aid to show the abilities of solar power, be it from natural daylight or from a desk lamp. The child will benefit from constructing the fan, learning how the parts go together and visually experiencing how effectively light energy is converted into electrical power to turn the fan blades. The advantage to this device is that once children are bored of it, it can be ‘recycled’ into a handy device for any desk worker.
The Solar Powered Desk Fan costs just £29.95 plus delivery.
