Well guys, after I borrowed Lancer's paintball mask, I got inspired by his small fan on the top of his, to make my own system. Now, instead of just one fan, I have two! One for the anti-fog, and one for cooling my face. It took a bit of ingenuity, and sweat, but after going through two battery connectors, some cable, one switch, and lots of E-Tape, superglue and hot glue, it is finally almost finished. Its functional, now I need to cover up the ugly wires. Here is what I have so far: Tell me what you think.

Only problem that I can see is that after a lot of sweat, the electrical tape might get loose, but other that that, it looks pretty solid.

Looks good. But make sure to cover that battery, because as mentioned before, after a lot of sweat, it could short out.

I think it looks great. I love the idea of a fan to cool the face.
The electrical tape on the side should probably be replaced by some small zip ties.. Perhaps it would be a little more reliable in the heat of battle.

I'd still cover the battery, because the sides of your head are gonna sweat, and its going to get wet. Hope it doesn't short out...
Cool design though....

there is this stuff called Gorilla tape that would be good to cover the wires once you put it on a surface its pretty much there for good and its almost like a fabric so its more durable then electric tape that might work

I know what Gorilla tape is. I also have Gorilla glue that is used on it, but it was electrical tape just in case I wanted to move any parts of it once it was in place.
