so as you can see air would be sucked in from the bottom, forced into a chamber, and pushed out small vents at the top. You'd place your phone into the top there (like an air bath.)

I'd have to fiddle with a usb plug and wires and split off the power and ground to give power to the fan (so basically you'd be charging your phone, tethering, and powering a computer fan all at once.) Oh and the entire thing would be made out of thin birch plywood or something.

Anyways, laugh it up or add some ideas to it, either way I plan on making it this weekend :P

no thanks, i'll just wait for the cab lol!
