Abstract
A computing device has a fan housing that includes a dual rotor fan with a first rotor and a second rotor. The computing device also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the dual rotor fan. The controller is operable to detect a failure associated with the first rotor. In response to detecting the failure, the controller is operable to drive the second rotor at a higher speed than a fan-speed at which the second rotor was being driven before the failure.

A computing device, comprising:
- a fan housing including a dual rotor fan having a first rotor and a second rotor;
- and
- a controller communicatively coupled to the dual rotor fan, the controller being operable to
- detect a failure associated with the first rotor;
- and
- in response to detecting the failure, drive the second rotor at a higher speed than a fan-speed at which the second rotor was being driven before the failure.

A dual rotor fan comprising:
- a housing;
- a first rotor positioned within the housing;
- a second rotor positioned adjacent to the first rotor within the housing;
- and
- a controller communicatively coupled to the dual rotor fan, the controller being operable to:
- detect a failure associated with the first rotor;
- and
- in response to detecting the failure, drive the second rotor at a higher speed than a fan-speed at which the second rotor was being driven before the failure.
