The No COVID Chandelier is HERE!
Just in time for Thanksgiving

18 fans, 990cfm raw, 2x 14x30 @3M Filtretes. 46db. Cleans the aerosols straight from up the table, spreads clean air in 360 directions at all the guests. #crbox

Fandelier has been coined by a few of you. I like it! The song is the inimitable Post Malone singing second half of his song Waiting For a Miracle which is just a freaking great vocal performance w/ best reverb ever. The view from dinner tonight, no guests just us:

“And everything done for the dead after they're dead is for the living
And everything done while they're dead goddammit, that's our decision
I kept my eyes closed, it was easy, now I see it with perfect vision
And everything done for the dead after they're dead is for the living

Fuck me up
Fuck it, get fucked up, hey
Fuck me up, hey
And stay fucked up”

Easy to imagine he is singing about @friendlycovid19

So you need:
18 120mm fans.
-Antec P12 PWM if you don’t want lights $112/20
Novonest auto rainbow PWM if you want colors but easy build $120/18
-Asiahorse S001 or any other controller based fans will be most complex, with hundreds of light patterns, more fun, cost

Then you need 28 2-way fan connectors from Etsy ($21) or 3D printed

Finally you need 2 14x30 Filtrete 1900 filters and masking tape, white or black based on your fans. You will also need a 12V 5A power supply for the easier 2 12V-only fans, with an added 5V/3A+ PS if you have a controller. This is a quick BOM for DIY savvy ppl.

And it wouldn’t be one of my threads without a night vid. No music so you can hear the Fandelier’s own sound

Well, this blew up! Thanks for all the appreciation; I’ve blocked a few sars2 denialists/homophobes who mockingly QT’d it (why?). All good. To be clear, I made this in about 30 mins, Jerry rigged a way to hang it n made the vid. I would hang/wire differently for actual install
