It won't work (well it will spin very fast but won't last for long). You need a 12v motor fan.

Hi,

What are you trying to do? use it as some form of interior cooling?

As stated earlier 12v is the most standard voltage for small fans, an old PC would be a good place to get a 12v fan.
Is it somthing like this you want?

If you had TWO of these fans and connected them in series - that would work !

Seriously - this is not a practical thing to do. Yes - you could buy a DC:DC converter to give the 5 volts - but it will be more expensive than just buying a 12 volt fan......
