Default RE: computer fan

No but, they make great Cooling tube fans for battery charging. The highest rotational speed that I have seen is 15000 rpm. and the
motor is quite heavy. I saw a case fan with the motor mounted on the outer ring pulsing the blades might be a good electric turbine Idea if it could handle the amps. it was rated at almost 100 cfm.

Most Case fans are not balanced very well either.

Although after 15 years in the computer industry I have never experienced one shattering unless the bushings lock up and the motor
cooks the plastic, breaks pretty easy then.
