Thread: A New Razor Stand?

It's confirmed,,, your both crazy :<0)

But the pencil box is cool.

I've heard that before lol

Using watch batteries to get to the necessary voltage to get it to run, since they are small.

All this, if just attached to the bottom in a stack, would likely make the whole thing top-heavy & possibly unsightly. Possibly build a complimentary wood base to hide the batteries next to, instead of under the fan? Also, the base could have channels routed into it to provide more airflow. More like a foot... 1" to 1 1/2" thick plank of wood that would be the same shape as the SR holder (top-down view), only larger by about 1 to 2 inches on every side.

Hmmm... I feel like that last sentence might not have made sense, or that I'm rambling too much. So I'll stop trying to invent a pen that can write in null-G.

Let us know if you ever mod the holder to mitigate the moisture problem!

Sincerely,
Crawler.

Fisher space pens already exist.
I would use mains voltage and a small transformer, i doubt watch batteries would last very long, you could also fit some speakers, a couple of small amps, a 3.5mm jack and a charging cord for your phone/mp3 player and listen to music while you choose or even use it to calm aggressive razors with.

Clever use of that pen/pencil holder, looks good to boot.

I did say the idea was over engineered, but not absurdly added onto. I never said it was all that practicle. That's also why I referenced the $1.2mil NASA pen, when the Russians were using a $0.02 pencil.

This was a side effect of my A.D.D. Difficult to avoid hyperfocus combined with problem solving skills, and a willingness to use them.

I first thought of using something that didn't require batteries (it is intended for computers), but the only fan like that, & was small enough, had a poor review rating. "Noisy... little, to no airflow." seemed to be the consensus on it.

I have no background in engineering, or anything like that. Reasoning my way to a solution is just fun for me.

Still, it's a beautiful box to start with!

What you need is a Murata Piezoelectric blower. It's about the width and thickness of a US quarter as are the electronics and it will run on a watch battery for months. You can't hear it when it is powered, but you can feel it blowing air.
Now let me see if I can properly upload a picture.
