Andre,

There are current regulator diodes.
http://www.vishay.com/docs/70711/70711.pdf
and there are others. These range from .43 ma to 4.7 ma. May not be
enough to keep your fan going, but you could put a few in parallel to
adjust.

Interestingly, you cannot parallel LM317x regulators to get more
current . Even if you use diodes to separate them it will not work .
2*100mA regulators give about 143 mA or so .

Any ideas why ?
