Hey Nexus. Anyone has good reliable sources on how to make effective and cheap air cleaners at home please?
That's very inspiring to hear!Dirty T said:I built a "Laminar" Flow hood using a 120qt tub, a fan, a 6qt tub packed full of polyfil as a pre-filter, a purple allergen 3m filter (as a face to disrupt airflow, a trash bag, some gorilla tape, some tubing, hardware and silicone. Works awesome. I have 0% fail rate on cultures done in front of it. I have thoroughly tested it using the "incense and bottle test" and there are no eddies or vortices.
What kind of "filter" are you trying to set up? My flow hood 'scrubs' about a 2 cubic foot area (the size of my workspace.) For the money if you are trying to do your whole house you can "stack" filters (the purple 3m have anecdotal evidence of being very effective when triple stacked. Many people were using them during Covid. It "purified" the air without damaging the HVAC blower motor)
I will share the schematic and parts list sometime soon when I get around to it. I've been super busy lately. I was supposed to do a MHRB extraction TEK on another site this weekend with information about purity, polymorphisms and polymerization by request and still haven't got to it. That place is a storm of misinformation and I've been asked to contribute some solid information.downwardsfromzero said:That's very inspiring to hear!Dirty T said:I built a "Laminar" Flow hood using a 120qt tub, a fan, a 6qt tub packed full of polyfil as a pre-filter, a purple allergen 3m filter (as a face to disrupt airflow, a trash bag, some gorilla tape, some tubing, hardware and silicone.

Do you have a schematic to share? And a parts list, maybe?
Did you pleat the filter material?

This looks interesting but I am not sure how true this is.
This one is a new video, looks also interesting
