I was born and grew up in tropical island, so I always want to have a wearable fan that would cool me down physically. So I decided to make one.

I calculated the angle to mount the motor in, but it is very hard to deal with the plastic box. I drilled a small hole very slowly first and then file it. It did work but it was very ugly. However, the angle works and the motor mounted it very well.

I found this colorful rubber tube in the junk shelf, which was a big found. I cut it and twist it together to make a chain, which will enable user to wear it. Colorful style is also the style of tropical area.

The color looks pretty good.
