The No COVID Fandelier 2!

Smaller bottom filter aim fans 45° down so they light the table not the wall. More chandelier-like. Square, so good for sq/round tables. Figured out “warm white” which is nice.

12 fans, 660 cfm raw, 290 CADR. 2’x2’ top Filtrete, 16”x16” bottom #crbox
Some stills n build pix. Song is @radiohead’s Everything in it’s Right Place. Again it’s a mix of fans so not a final design, just a first shot at my “different sizes” idea to get light onto the table ImageImageImageImage
Covered the edge of the top filter with a strip of white gaffers tape and <chef’s kiss>. White wire coming soon for finishing touch ImageImage
Its sound level is 45db at the table. 1db less than the Fandelier 1. It has 6 fewer fans but now they are pointing towards the table, so two steps forward one back. Still, quieter, and quiet enough for even whispering convo at the table
FOG TEST!!

Got this fog machine for $18 on Black Friday. You can see how the Fandelier sucks up the aerosols and clears the air very quickly; any of these fog pulses would leave the room foggy a long time without the filters. Song: M83-Before the Dawn Heals Us
Incoming Pyramid Fandelier…fog test soon Image
Getting strong old school grow lite vibes…I don’t dig it, might have to flip it back asap Image
The Christmas Palette leaves a lot to be desired but I’m on it Image
Gotta say the 4 sq ft canvas on the @3M @Filtrete 24”x24” is pretty much unbeatable for this particular niche. Thanks to my tweeps for making me turn it upside down, so much potential was being wasted 😂😄🌈 Image
I did a quick fog test in both directions. Fans facing down cleared the table and even the whole room faster, maybe due to better overall room mixing or better alignment w where the fog ends up settling…hard to say but the difference is clear, 45° down wins
Just to remind you why this exists 😄 Image

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

a.co/d/dtOGmYR
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.

The Warp Core Family

L-R:
Warp Core, 46db 100 cfm CADR est
Warp Core Maxx, 46db 200 cfm
Maxx Core, 40db 70 cfm
Micro Core, 37db 30 cfm

Micro/Maxx Core breakdowns in thread #daifu L-R: Warp Core, 46db 100 cfm CADR est Warp Core Maxx, 46db 200 cfm Maxx Core, 40db 70 cfm Micro Core, 37db 30 cfm
Here’s the Micro Core. Fan, filter, usb fan adapter, usb plug. Legs are random bits I had, and optional. Micro Core parts
The Maxx Core would be the same but the fan is RGB so there’s an added wire for that, made of a USB to sata adapter and an RGB fan controller. Most won’t want RGB, but that’s what I have so I used it. Otherwise, same elements as Micro Core. Maxx Core parts
