Try again with a totally normal BRUSHED PERMANENT MAGNET DC MOTOR.

NOT a fan motor, which most likely has electronics inside that do not like to be PWM'd.
Fans are not usually simple brushed motors- because they would wear out way too fast.

Did you miss Audioguru Agains post?When the MOSFET has 5V on its gate, it is almost turned off. Less than 5V, it is turned off. The MOSFET you are using needs 10V to fully turn on. Hence, you’d be better off with a logic level MOSFET.
Υes you are correct from generator ( of elvis platfrom give 10 V amplitude in the p[ulse not 5 V ) and then the mosfet is full ON

You say the output is 10 volts amplitude but you don't say if the levels are - 5 volts in the low state and +5 volts in the high state or some other some other levels with a difference of 10 volts. Can you post the schematic of the output stages of your elvis signal generator or show the waveform when connected to your circuit on a oscilloscope together with the Y channel volts per division setting and the coupling set to DC. (I have never heard of "elvice signal generators"

yes i watch some video about the mosfet IRF520 and i saw that is not a good choice for logic circuit (like arduino) but work in my expirement
i take a video in next week and i upload here

thank you very much

Well you struck lucky with the particular sample of the '520 that you have. If you were designing/building a circuit for someone else it would not be a good choice of MOSFET. Good designs have to take into account the toerances of individual components and allow for 'worst case' scenarios.

hi
The Vgs On is the Threshold voltage at which the FET starts low current conduction, it will not saturate the FET, which is what you need for the motor drive.
You have only a +5V drive signal so the FET will never be fully turned On
