Hey, Henry -- time's-a-tickin'!

I built the third circuit, and it didn't put more than a few volts through to the fan. Not enough to even turn it. Attaching an LED to the connection showed that it was likely about 3-4 volts.

A friend ran your third one through a circuit simulator, and says:

With the component values given, the ...
