Oh, that was Shane's comments. That makes sense now. That would be an exciting 
experiment. Everything would be working great (false sense of success) until 
the heater coil was shut down, then there would be a magic smoke event for the 
fan part.
Using a ~$15 laptop power supply sounds better and safer for the first attempt.
