Great design, and great post @trendless !

Thank you for all the part numbers and pictures, descriptions, etc.

After making 2 of the 1st generation Corsi-Rosenthal boxes, the next ones I build will use your design.

Slick looking, efficient, replaceable filters, and quiet.

Spotted this cool Canadian-made air purifier: North Box Systems builds quiet, energy-efficient units using PC fans + MERV-13 filters. Think: Corsi-Rosenthal box, but sleeker. Great for wildfire smoke & allergens. 🇨🇦🌀

Vote Out Covid: community spotlight

GFSC's community Discord supports people using technology to futher their social campaigns. Kim caught up with Dave to chat about his Vote Out Covid campaign's goals for the 1st May UK elections, their Django webapp, and building Corsi-Rosenthal boxes.

Geeks for Social Change

With the #LocalElections coming up in England, we're asking you to lobby your council candidates to support three pledges to help reduce the spread of #Covid and other respiratory diseases:

1. Trial air filters in local schools
2. Consider air filters for pubs, bars and restaurants
3. Publish council air quality mitigations

Here's the 20" #CorsiRosenthalBox I'm working on. Fans in rectangular housings basically don't exist in the UK, so I made a cardboard shim out of the box for this circular one.

This build was a proof of concept (hence the green masking tape rather than duct tape, and the plastic sheeting still on the #MERV13 filter boards). I was testing whether the shim and the boards would support the weight of the fan. Despite being a mock up it's surprisingly rigid!

Next stage involves building it properly (including sealing those gaps at the corners; the 20" fan is actually more like 21.5" across and the boards are 19.5"), then using my anemometer to measure the flow rate of the finished box, so I can work out what size room it can filter. I'm intending this one for a local community centre where a Queer Club meets, to make their meetings safer.

I facilitated an online workshop for @freetechproject tonight and it's the first time we tackled technology to fight #Covid (Co2 monitors, air purifiers, #HEPA, #CorsiRosenthal boxes, #NukitTempest, etc) as well as why this is important (what Covid is, how it spreads, etc) and the small (predominantly older) group was very open to the ideas, sincerely inquisitive about the topic, interested in reducing risk, aware of inclusion issues, and sensitive to my own experiences as carer for a partner disabled by Covid. I'm also realising that people genuinely refer to "Covid" in the past tense sometimes because they wrongly associate it with government policy, while at the same time they very clearly understand that #CovidIsNotOver. My point is, keep tackling the topic, and keep giving folks the benefit of the doubt -- humans are of course good at heart and state policies, and obviously the establishment media, may very well indeed not, in fact, reflect people's actual concerns about Covid.
