Hi everyone, I decided to make my own stir plate out of nothing but a computer fan, adapter, and magnets. I discovered that I could mount the magnets to the fan and place my flask on top without it impeding the movement of the fan/magnets at all!
My main question is - does this look like it is spinning fast enough? I'm wondering if maybe the power adapter isn't giving the fan enough power to spin at its normal speed.
Here is a video of it working:
