haha who needs to pay $70 for a mask fan, I took an old 1in*1in computer cooling fan and wired it to a 9v battery like some websites have showed and it works great, hopefully I'll get to test it out this weekend

I mounted the fan on top of the goggles under the visor with zip ties and the battery on the right side under the head band with zip ties, i stole a 9v connector from an old walkie talkie that doesn't work anymore and everything works great, now all i need is a switch from Radio Shack so i dont have to unplug and replug the battery

cool, thats a pretty good price, kinda ironic cause i would have gotten it had i seen it before i rigged this, its also ironic that i rigged this and then found stuff about how to do it on the net afterwards, i sorta feel like beating my head on my desk now
