Abstract With a thermistor and Arduino it can control how the fan spins with the temperature. So if I set it to spin when it’s over 27 degrees Celsius it will start to spin at 100% speed, but when the temperature decreases the fan’s speed will do the same. Humans will start to feel uncomfortable when temperatures go over 25 degrees Celsius or 80.6 Fahrenheit. With many people powering a fan or AC to keep cool, however the fan or AC will always be spinning at one setting. On the other hand, in my project a temperature controlled fan can realize the spin of the fan along the temperature. Matching the right speed enough to keep you from the heat. It can help preserve energy, without wasting excess. Making the fan last longer and reducing the energy that would have been used as a regular fan.
