    help me modify a Uk Mains Plug In Socket Timer Switch clock?

    Many thanks for taking the time to find these circuits, I will take a look and see what I can do, but so far it all looks pretty confusing. I have no experience in electronics. But I am trying to teach myself.

    I am trying to make a fan, how big should it be?

    I don't know how many liters it would be, but The hose would be no more than 1.5" thick and it would be connected to an electric fan connected to the mains for 5 hours. and the hose would be 30 feet long. So how many PSI are we talking would you say?

    I am trying to make a fan, how big should it be?
