I wonder how many cans you would have to stack to make enough flow to drive a PC powersupply fan? See where I'm headed? Talking milliwatts here, from a gutted PC fan.

You might have to improve it a bit. This is still in my experi(mental:) stage. A better way might be to put sides on it and a glass front. Then an intake hole in the bottom and a hole in the top. Thicker metal other than some siding will work better as well (I'm thinking something like a door panel from an auto wrecker might have more mass and therefore absorb and hold heat better). However in my case weight is a factor as I have hung the thing from the doorframe. Carry on having fun folks. Life is too short to waste on anger and stress.
