I made a little air purifier with a USB plug so it can be used in the car. About a foot tall.
Could also portable if plugged into a battery pack.
Good for #wildfiresmoke and cov1d.
Very easy to make, here's how it did it /1

I bought a 14cm Noctua fan that comes with a USB plug and a regular plug. No wiring required!
Noctua NF-A14 5V, Premium Quiet Fan with USB Power Adaptor Cable, 3-Pin, 5V Version (140mm, Brown).
$28 on Amazon in Canada. This fan is basically silent! /2 noctua.at/en/products/fa…

With the horrible air quality from #ABWildfire I’ve put some MERV13 rated furnace filters in my windows so we can get clean, cool air in the house. It filters pollution out of the air as it blows into the house. Filtrete1900’s are MERV13. #yeg #yyc Screen door with a furnace ...Slider window with a furnac... To fill the large gap on top I cut a piece of cardboard and duct taped it to the filter. Used some peel & stick weather stripping along the edges of the filter & cardboard. So it’s easy to take in and out.

Yesterday a girl in my teen's class was rushed to hospital. This is REAL, common & serious long-term illness after COVID.

My teen has had COVID for 6 days and the rest of the family is still negative. Here’s what we are doing to limit spread at home 🧵 N95 masks, air filters, open windows, a plan, and understanding that #COVIDisAirborne 1/11 Covid spreads in the air like smoke so we plan to avoid shared air. Even if the infected person has left the room, the germs are still floating around. Cleaning the air with air purifiers, opening windows to get fresh air, wearing masks to reduce germs put into air and into body.
