Hi /diy/, so I got an inline fan and need some help with it. First of all can I control its speed? If yes can I use a light dimmer for it? And how do I power it? Pic related.

dimmers don't like inductive loads
use an autotransformer

you can get special dimmers designed for fans. oddly enough, they call them fan speed controllers.
