Here’s a slim portable #ALPanel. 200mm 103cfm Coolermaster fan, 10x10 Nordic Pure MERV 13 + carbon. Black masking tape + 2 rubber feet. Easily fits in a bag or backpack, has much simpler wiring because it’s 1 fan. Leave the LEDs off and it just needs 1 normal USBA plug or batt ImageImageImage
It’s probably pretty low CADR, say 20-40, but it definitely cleans the air in my bedroom over time. Very quiet, basically silent, easy to sleep with it on. Fan is $29, runs off the simple power supply pinned on my profile. ImageImageImageImage
I have a more powerful fan this size but it’s a lot louder. I prefer this one for the silence. I’m going to make a few new portable designs, ones you can actually put in a bag as that seems to be really sought after rn
You can see the other fan in this larger panel I built. I found at night I had to turn off the smaller/louder fan. So I chose the quieter Coolermaster fan for the portable; the louder Silverstone fan definitely delivers more CADR, rated at 143 vs 103 cfm.
Bedside. I put feet on this one because without them the fan has to drop down from it’s perfect position in the middle of the filter; taping it up so the fan&filter are flush at bottom (but off-center) would make the feet unnecessary Image

Happy New Year!

A thread about one of the best CC lifestyle things I got: an outdoor heat lamp.

Having the ability to really blast heat outside has meant many friends/family visits at temps 2 cold for outdoors were totally enjoyable. But not just any work well…🧵 Standard patio heater on blast in an enclosed patio
First of all, forget electricity. Plug-in 120v electric heaters top out at 5000 BTUs of heat. Patio heaters running on gas put out 10x or 50,000 btus. For heating the outdoors w friends you want as many btus as you can get. It’s gotta be gas.
The 3 main types I’ve tried: standard like in the first pic, quartz tube pyramid and fireplace style. All 50k btu. Standard works best by far to focus the heat onto the people. The others look cooler and ARE cooler. Cheap or expensive standard patio heater is the way to go

HUMIDIFIER rant/reco:

I’ve read a few new articles about humidifiers that sound good but end up with bad advice.

For clean air, the best solution is an EVAPORATIVE Humidifier with bacteriostatic solution added to the tank.

Any other kind is risky IME/HO and I’ll explain. 🧵 Vornado Evaporative Humidifier EV200
To start: all humidifiers are fairly high maintenance. They need to be filled and cleaned every few days. There is no way to avoid that. But it’s worth it for the best indoor air. If you have HEPA and carbon already in place it’s the finishing touch. Helps fight COVID too.
Ultrasonic and impeller humidifiers put *everything* that’s in the water into the air. Minerals, vocs and bacteria. Ideally, but unlikely, you use distilled water, which is expensive at this scale (gallon per day or more). And bacteria grow fast, then enter the air. NO!

MegaVOC filter!

It’s been a while! Here’s a new easy build that’s absolutely the best way to get VOCs filtered. Lowest cost, quiet, 140cfm. It’s an 8” grow filter n a Silverstone 180mm fan. Plus usb power and black tape.

$132

This is for @LazarusLong13 @Ikat0 @AltenbergLee Big VOC carbon filter with 180mm fan
Wide shot of VOC filter in a bedroom
So first off, the grow carbon filters are about $4/lb of activated carbon, cheapest deal. They can be all black n fairly sleek. For tackling smells for years nothing beats em. Years. This brand is great; all work. 8” has about 22lbs carbon inside for $89

The fan I really like is Silverstone 180mm. But any 180-200mm PC fan will work. This one is the AP184 with 143cfm; avoid the similar price AP181 with only 100cfm. $32

I got a PlusLife tester and it’s been a total gamechanger. Doing 3-4 people in one batch means you can test a whole family of guests and know with 99% accuracy that they are C negative. For CC ppl it’s an amazing sense of relief vs RAT. Knowing ppl don’t have it is priceless rn PlusLife mini PCR tester and test vials
With the discount code it’s $210 for the machine; tests are $7/each for Covid, $14 for COVID/FLUA/B. They also have MPX tests, $9. It runs off a USB battery, super portable. I tested more than 20 ppl in batches at the memorial. Absolutely changed our relationship w indoor parties
Here are the discount codes. Order lots of extra swabs if you plan to batch test (30 extra per 10 pack), they use their own swabs and the Amazon swab option is not the same, but prob works (I had to use them because I didn’t order enough). Shipping takes 10-14 days Discount codes in US are MINIDOCK for the machine and MINUS5 for the tests

Ultra high CFM quiet VOC eater!

On max: 53db, 75w, 710cfm! CADR?

ugly/huge, I know my tweeps can appreciate it. Here’s the specs, from the bottom up:

-AC Infinity 10” carbon filter
-Filter box with MERV11
-710 CFM Hyperfan stealth 8” fan
-AC Infinity Duct Silencer
-6” output Massive, quiet carbon filter w MERV11, front, front w MERV visible, and side views
It’s all leftover pro grow gear n so this would be stupidly expensive for home use, but I had this stuff so here it is. It has a digital controlled electronically commutated motor, high cfm/pressure with lowest noise possible. Great under pressure, CADR should be high % of 710cfm
You can smoke indoors and not smell it at all shortly thereafter. Farts simply disappear 😂 It’s massive overkill but it’s probably as good as VOC filtering can get for space/noise. Fresh AF

MASSAGE during Covid:

For my disability there comes a time when only skilled therapeutic neuromuscular massage can help me, and my doc recommends it. Here’s how I’ve done it, many times since 2020, without catching anything:🧵
1. I pay extra to do it at home. So I can control ventilation.

2. Therapist I’ve known for years, vaxed and fully boosted, claims he’s never had it. I trust him generally

3. He came w surgical, I gave him a fresh KN95 and molded out the pointy tip for him. He wore it no issue
4. Table In middle of living room, Doors open to outside, HVAC fan/filter ON, 2 Warp Core DAiFUs in the room on high.

5. Sinus rinse and CPC mouthwash after for good measure.
