The one with 3 leg is a IR Receiver so  if both came in the same package , the one with two leg is a IR Transmitter, not a led light.

Thank you @icestorm !

After finding my eureka, I decided to record a video and in doing it I HAD to stop the fan and change the settings to demonstrate that the voltage will indeed fall while when well tunned it will not.

Oh boy, as I did that I could never find that sweet spot again. I am so pissed. I even modified another fan so happy that I got my eureka but no luck. After loosing the sweet spot the voltage drop super fast.

Now I am playing with a new fan and different magnets. Unfortunately I dont have a hard drive magnet to play with but I do have many neos of different sizes and shapes. So far no good.

Unless someone come up with more ideas I will simply extinguish all my options and give up. I am totally convinced that I got it to work getting the voltage going up but it is very, very, very, very difficult to get that sweet spot, specially using magnets stuck to the fan. I really wish a good advice here!

Fausto:

First, don't ever give up.

Second, here is a thought for you.  Try removing the magnets and then fire it up and tune for best amp draw (least) as you did before adding the magnets.  Then, add the magnets back and retune.......I guess what I am suggesting here is that you recreate all of the steps that got you to where you were before.  Possibly, when you tune it with the magnets and then stop it later, something happens that won't allow you to find the sweet spot again. So, just do it like before and tune it without the magnets.  Stop it, and add the magnets and retune.  If this does work please do not expect me to explain to you why, other than that was the way you did if before if I was following you correctly.

Third, don't give up.

thank you Bill. It is encouraging your words. Good idea. Sometimes I forget to step back and look at it again with the gained knowledge.

Over the last couple of days I have been reducing my fan running current from 100mA down to the present 20mA in steps. I have not yet reached a perfect stabilised point but after each stepped reduction of current I see a slow increase in battery voltage back up to almost the same level as before the current reduction was made. This climb in voltage can last for as long as three hours before it starts to very slowly drop again. Its hard to see when the climb ends and the drop begins because I'm not setup to measure the voltage in 100ths of a volt which is really necessary for this experiment. I just need to check with you that this is not the effect you are seeing because this IMO is a normal battery recovery situation which would usually appear to be much quicker if the discharge current level was a lot higher. This voltage climb could be even longer in yours and Gadget's case because you are both using a 48V fan and will be running at a lower current level than me with a 24V modified fan.
