How to Make a USB Fan

Hello everyone this instructable is fun to make.
I made it in about 2 minuts.
But there is not enough power from the USB port so the fan spins fast but not fast enough.
sorry about that but it produces enough thrust to move a piece of 4mmX4mm paper.
I used some images from the web because i couldn't take the right photos.
