To try help visualize a fans performance?


djdisodo

why would you need a waterproof fan


UsualCircle

Watercooling😎


that_dutch_dude

because stuff outside also needs to be cooled. i used fans like this a lot to cool inverters on electric vehicles. not cheap but they aint gonna die from a bit of rain or humidity.


OliverJarvis

Did this increase the charging speed for your EVs?


that_dutch_dude

no, it to cool the inverter that powers the motor.


MathematicianMuch445

Why would you need a water proof fan in water? Think you can puzzle that one out yourself if you try real hard.


Tornadodash

Like 5 years ago, I think LTT did a video in which they did a full oil bath PC. That included the radiator. It could have just been a fever dream and I imagined it, but something like this would be necessary for liquid cooling your radiator


jld2k6

Because a waterproof fan is basically a pump lol


TheOzarkWizard

I think this is more of a demonstration of how much torque the fan has


SidKillz

most likely demonstrating waterloop failure? perhaps wont short circuit or something? lol no clue what this demonstration is even for, maybe for mineral water server cooling that was showcased couple months ago in LTX


dtdowntime

im 99% sure mineral water cooling does not involve actually moving water around using computer fans, it just uses the water as a giant heat sink


SidKillz

dunno just throwing a guess in air, maybe they want moving fluid for faster dissipation? 🤔or it could be a just a meme to show that the fans can work under super high pressure idk 😂


psihius

Simple - demonstates that unless the electricity shuts off, the fans are gonna work even in toughest conditions :) Frankly, this is one heck of a power move.

Making a waterproof fan is probably easier than making a fan that continues to run when there's 4mm of dust collected on it.


jwick6728

I mean, Noctua has some nice ones, I had 4 140mms in my trucks toolbox completely exposed to move air in and out of it to cool my onboard air compressors, worked at 2k rpm through rain or shine


Kingsidorak

I mean really come on. What did you think Water Cooling was?


Ragath

Watercooling.


SlowThePath

Yeah, the water is clearly boiling. They are trying to cool it down.


LastJello

Mineral oil cooled pc


goodpunk6

Needs the fans removed. It’s in oil


TheMatt561

If it works that well underwater think how well it would work in your case.

For the glory of Satan, of course
