Hello, I know nothing about electric wires. This is what I am trying to do. I have 3 desktop fans, each 12V, and they have 2 wires each, a red and a black. I have a pc adapter which is 19.5 V and 3.34 amps. I want to strip the adapter and expose the red and black wires and connect it to the fans so they will spin some how. Please be easy I have no idea about this stuff, will it work and how do I connect this if so?
Cheers
 
Please don't do anything apart from go to a shop and buy another adaptor for your fans. Your computer adaptor (step down transformer) is supplying your laptop with a certain amount of power that it needs to operate, if you then power up 3 x fans your computer will not work. Besides, what you are thinking of doing is dangerous, leave it alone and go to the shop.
 
Victor, are you just short on plug sockets? If so just get a new extention lead. Please don't be cutting into cables from your laptop adaptor to power up anything else.
