Default Delta fans are lethal - with video

There was a thread in "the other place" recently regarding the destructive potential of Delta fans. Evidence was requested to prove or disprove that these monsters can cause physical injury.

Nobody else seemed willing to step up to the mark so, since I happened to have one lying around, I decided it was up to me to lead the way.

The beast in question is a 120mm Delta and was tested on the following:

1 Mushroom
1 Broccoli floret
1 Sugar snap pea
1 Carrot
1 Frankfurter
1 Left index finger

View the video here

The damage to the finger:



The conclusion:
These things are f***ing dangerous - don't stick your fingers in them

I used to have an 80mm Delta (think I still do somewhere).

It inspired my A-Level electronics project actually (pulse width modulated fan speed controller with the mark:space ratio determined by a temperature sensor) as it was so damn noisy.

I was never stupid (sorry!) enough to stick my finger in it, but I can well imagine the destructive potential!

If mine gets anywhere near a molex, it gets 120mm fan guards both sides first.

I still want to try and turn it into a hovercraft though.

Just watched the video and quite litterally LOL'd particularly at the carrot and frankfurter. After seeing how easilly it got through the carrot I'd have not wanted any of my appendages anyway near it!!
