The rise of the air purifier industry
the "ghetto" filter air purifier

Starting with two kids, two dogs and two smokers (
Not a child or a dog)
Two cold ones, a dirt backyard, a swamp cooler, and a shed full of \"raw materials.
All of a sudden, you feel the need to draw tiny particles from the air, and you don\'t know why. . .
First, make a framework.
Yes, screw together a pile of waste wood (
I happened to get it dirty and added bolts that looked cool).
Inside must match the size of the filter you will be using.
Mine is 14 \"X 14\"
The frame is made of 2 \"X 6.
So now you build a framework within the framework.
This will prevent the filter from attacking fans.
I can\'t think of anything worse than the socks table.
If you notice that one \"frame\" is 1 and the other is 1. 5\".
This happened to be my waste wood.
Your mileage may vary.
The distance from the edge is 1 \"(
Depth of filter)and 1/4\" (
Thickness of nail plate)
Again, your mileage may vary.
You have to use cool bolts though.
The colder the better.
Mine is almost awesome (
This improves the flow of air, I\'m sure).
The difficult part is coming now. Get some peg-board (
Mine is 14 \"X 14 \")
Some very bright LED fans (80MM), some wire-
Start cutting/wiring.
Please note that the board is cut between the holes on the outside, cut out by counting the holes and using your favorite rotary tool, making the fan easy to center.
This also makes the hole close enough to the edge to screw the plate into the inner frame.
I use three speed fans so I can adjust the sound and suction. . . .
They sell for $3.
I\'m sure you\'ll enjoy adjusting sound and suction using different fans and computer fan controllers with front knobs.
This will be the inside of the box.
The fan is equipped with a standard computer connector that is connected together.
On the business side I chopped off an old power supply and attached a \"bucket\" power connector.
You can consider welding. . . .
Or an ABC fire extinguisher.
I heard Kidde did a good job.
Screw it on the frame and plug it in.
My Barrel connector went through the hole well without drilling.
This is a photo with flash and a photo without flash.
Yes, it\'s bright. Yep.
Actually, this is the filter I installed when I installed a 80mm fan in the center.
I have four now. . .
Thought afterwards: the filter I chose was an extra allergen of 1085.
It filters debris, lint, dust, pollen, mites, mold spores, pet dandruff, smoke and smoke ($10 at Lowes).
You may want to take it out of your filter more or less.
I use the nail plate as a \"release valve\" so the suction (AKA suckage)
When the filter starts filling, it does not fold the filter or do bad things to the fan.
I built it to get the fan to suck air instead of blowing air, so only the filtered air hits the fan (
Fans won\'t hate it).
I put the filter in the room, not the fan.
It makes more sense to me.
One or four fan guards may be needed.
It may be better to install the fan in the box and add a custom fan guard.
But my fans are behind.
The filter was a bit bad and I didn\'t use any installation hardware.
Yes, my picture is a bit rotten.
