 ☀️ DIY Club: Mini USB Fan with 8-Hour Backup (Perfect for Summer)





🔥 Introduction

Summer in Pakistan brings heat and load shedding, making small cooling solutions very useful. In this DIY project, we will create a Mini USB Fan with up to 8 hours backup using simple electronic components.

This project is easy, low-cost, and perfect for beginners in electronics.


🧰 Required Components

  • DC Motor (5V–12V)

  • Fan Blade

  • 18650 Lithium Battery (3000–3500 mAh)

  • TP4056 Charging Module (with protection)

  • DC Boost Converter (MT3608)

  • USB Cable / Port

  • ON/OFF Switch

  • Wires and Small Case


⚙️ Working Principle

This fan works on a rechargeable battery system:

  • The battery stores energy

  • The TP4056 module charges the battery via USB

  • The boost converter provides stable voltage

  • The motor runs the fan efficiently for long time


🔌 Circuit Connections

  1. Connect battery to TP4056 (B+ and B-)

  2. Connect TP4056 output to Boost Converter input

  3. Connect boost output to motor through switch

  4. Use USB cable to charge via TP4056


🔋 Backup Time

  • Battery Capacity: 3000 mAh

  • Motor Usage: ~300–400 mA

👉 Expected Backup: 7 to 9 hours (approx. 8 hours)


💡 Tips for Better Performance

  • Use a low-power or brushless motor

  • Keep fan blades light for less load

  • Add speed control (optional)

  • Use two batteries in parallel for longer backup


🎯 Final Result

  • Portable Mini Fan

  • USB Rechargeable

  • Long Backup (up to 8 hours)

  • Ideal for load shedding and travel use


📌 Conclusion

This DIY Mini USB Fan is a practical summer project that solves real-life problems. It’s a great way to learn battery management, charging modules, and basic electronics.
