So, while at a thrift store, I found a little device with two computer fans on it (meant for cooling RAM). I immediately thought, "Goggles!"
I made an elastic head band, printed out some eyes on sticker paper to stick onto the front of the fans, and sacrificed a $1 flashlight to make a battery pack/trigger button.
I didn't even notice it had blue LEDs until I powered it up.
The fans are supposed to run on 12V 0.8W, but I'm starving them by using a couple of AAA batteries because I don't want the fans to spin at 3500RPM. Unfortunately, that means they need a little kick start to get going.
And yes, they do actually make my eyes cold.
