Fans
 
It's an electric device, so I think it belongs in this category. Does anyone travel with a fan? I need moving air to be able to sleep. I had a portable fan from Brookstone that ran on both batteries and AC, it was pretty small though, and shut off after 4 hours. In a totale dope moment I plugged it into a 220V outlet and blew the motor, so I need something else. I have this real cheap one from Walm Mart, but it doesn't through enough air. Any ideas on a decent travel fan?

I hope your not korean! My parents have warned me of the dangers of fans in an enclosed space! (Really, i'm not kidding... they were mildly upset that I had my fan running with my door closed when i went to bed) :p

Fan Death!!!

I bought one from Sears long ago that was the size of a softball but was all metal and sturdy. I never used it for sleep but it was great for drying ski boots on trips.

I do however travel with a Brookstone portable fan powered by 2 AAs. Summer travel season is upon us. Why, yesterday in the stuffy RJ cabin I received compliments and envious glances.
