My safety goggles kept fogging up

1) It'll suck in flying dust/debris and blow it straight across your eyes
2) It'll make a noise (distracting)
3) Moving items in your peripheral vision are very distracting
4) You'll need to buy cells for it all the time
5) It's heavy and cumbersome
6) The fan will obstruct some of your vision
7) You can buy anti-fogging agents for about the cost one one pack of cells for that pair of goggles. The spray will last you months and months; the cells a few days.

A better method if you didn't want to to choose a spray would be to open up larger vents in the casing of the goggles and line them with a material thus allowing much superior airflow but keeping the protective properties of the goggles.
 
Well that looks cool. But I think you're onto something here.

Maybe you should put that fan into a little box of its own, and run a tube up to the googles. That way the noise and risk of sucking in eyelashes is moved away into its own compartment. You could sell this invention. 😀

what skiers would do is put shampoo on their goggles to prevent fogging..

I'll have to try that. I have lots of fogging problems when I'm out with the brushcutter. I prefer to wear goggles rather than a faceshield because the 2 cycle exhaust makes my eyes water after a while. I've tried those anti-fogger sprays and they just don't work. I'll give shampoo a try...

 
Just spit on the damn lenses and rub it around. Free anti-fog solution. Drinking a beer just beforehand will help them from freezing as well. Your solution = pwned! 😀

LOL........ I didn't think about that. 😉

I don't think I've ever seen a computer fan blade like come off or anything, so I'll take my chances.... 😛

I could put it on the outside, though. I'll also experiment with exhausting and intaking to find out which works best. 😉

You need to make it exhaust because when used as an intake it could blow debri right in you eyes...WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO PREVENT WEARING GOGGLES!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHA.......sorry, I am a little over cautious as I lost an eye many years ago so I have no spare.

really? do you have a glass eye? do you ever use shooter marbles instead of the standard glass replacment to freak people out? can you hit the back of your head hard enough to make it pop out?

1) No, it won't, but just to be sure I will turn the fan around - the vacuum would still cause it to be able to suck things into the goggles though.
2) You think you can hear the fan over a dremel?
3) You cannot see the fan blades in your perhiperal vision
4) Not when I use it for 10 minutes every month.
5) Compared to the goggles by themselves, yes.
6) No, it does not. Maybe 10% of the very edge of your perhperal vision. You really can't even see the fan while wearing them.
7) That's great, but I didn't have any earlier. 😛

I was working with power tools.

 
Now that I think about it overclocking would really mean you glued wires around the edge of the front "glass" and connected a battery pack so it raises the temp keeping the surface well above the dewpoint. Think of a rear window auto defogger. They actually make glass that's coated so you don't see any wires. Ford has been doing this with windshields for years.

Now there's an idea! 😀

Now where to find safety goggles made out of glass... hmmm.
