Oops my mistake my batteries are all in series :P (see circuit diagram)

2 x 9 series = 18 no problem with over-volting? Haven't checked the mAh for those yet

An engineer!!! The batteries I'm looking at are rated 1.5V. There's eight of them all[/] parallel. Translates to 12V, right? Question: how did you arrive at 10 amp-hours? Also, I'll need the batteries to last long enough for each performance (but not necessarily including waiting time - I've rewired...

Went for the biggest fan that could comfortably fit my helmet, taking into account the optimal location of the fans within the helmet. Not that I know anything about fluid dynamics or thermodynamics - I simply went by agaration. Oh well. I guess this is a work-in-progress. Once I swap out the cable ...

Don't think I'll do that because:

1. I probably don't need a 3-speed switch - given my blubber I'll just need to switch between "Off" and "MAXIMUM POWER PLEASE".

2. No time, and more importantly, no skillz.

I think graphic boards are more intelligent and generate less heat though (=

Come to think of it, I dunno if the fans are spinning at max speed. How to calculate ah? They're rated 1.5A but I dunno how to calculate output by the batteries.

Royal Guard Helmet Fans - one modest solution (out of many)

Hi folks, Some of you might have noticed in the run up to Chingay 2010 that I stuck fans in the RG helmet. I've been tinkering with this for quite some time and I think I've more or less settled on a good workable system, so it's time to upload something for future costumers, especially Royal Guards...

The second score's much better! Almost the entire thing on the first page (other than repeats)!

ETA: but there's something missing - third line second bar should have a "Dm" fake chord notation, just like the very first line first bar.

Maybe if can get someone with good aural and music theory to listen and write down faking chords, should be able to improv the piano part. For the clarinet, more like å

Actually if your friend is a jazz pianist, he might not need more than a CD, good playback system, and sufficient time.
