is it possible to run a fan of 2 9v batteries?

Yes but it will probably burn out eventually. I think you would be pretty safe though. Why not just one 9v and 2 AAs?

Why would the fan burn out any sooner on 12v than 16v if the fan is rated for 18v.

I usually run my fans 1/2 voltage-to try to have the bearings last a little longer.

They run slower but seem to atomize just fine.

Personally I have fried fans with 2 9v batteries. But since other SpudTech people swear by it I'll let that go and say it should be fine.

Well, fans are pretty cheap, so who cares?

True, true, but how would they know?
