Emergency Cooling System

The hot Florida days takes it's toll on everyone. If only there was some way we could stay cool on the go. Now we can! Thanks to the Emergency Cooling System. It's easy, all you need is:

1 Arduino Uno
1 breadboard
3 LED
4 buttons
2 220 resistors
1 1k resistor
3 10k resistors
16 jumper wires
1 fan

Just engage each of the three phases and the Emergency Cooling system is ready to go!

Each button turns on a corresponding LED, once each LED is turned on the cooling system is warmed up and ready to launch.
For some reason I find ridiculous solutions to simple problems hilarious, so I thought surly this has to be the most absurd way for someone to cool themselves off. Originally I planned for a very robotic voice to announce each phase that is activated but I don't believe our kits came with an SD card reader so the Arduino could play the audio files over a speaker. As a stand in, I added the voice to the uploaded video.
