I have 4 12 volt computer fans (that I am not using for a computer) that I want to reverse the spin direction on. I understand there will be limitations due to the capacity of the fans themselves not designed to spin in alternate direction..........but can it be done?
There are three wires, hot-ground-RPM. When I reverse the hot-ground.......the blades don't spin at all..........so I am assuming something internally is keeping me from trying this. Can I removed or bypass this restriction? It seems like this should be achievable..........but I am not experienced at this........and before I butcher a fan (trial and error) I figured I would ask the question here...........to see if someone smarter than me could provide some insight.
Thanks!
