AI6YR BenTrying to deal with wildfire smoke? Here's the best thing since sliced bread for massively improving the air quality in your room/apartment/house/etc.
How to build your own Corsi-Rosenthal Box
btw, I converted mine to PC fans, and they are SO QUIET. My family hates the sound of fans, and they can't even tell the box I usually have on is running... keeps the AQI usually sub 10 (working harder to keep up this week though, so more like 15).
If you are not the DIY type, this kit has everything you need for a PC fan Corsi Rosenthal (from CleanAirKits), you have to also buy the filters.

Corsi Rosenthal Box | Clean Air Kits
Clean Air Kits are super efficient air purifiers built simply from banks of silent PC pressure fans and 3M Filtrete virus+allergen filters. Quiet enough to leave on always, powerful enough to protect from airborne pathogens like Flu, RSV, Strep, & Covid-19
sasutina13a is-a sasutina13a@ai6yr I've used similar to keep PC guts clean. I put flexible dryer duct between the filter box and the PC's inlet fan. Positive air pressure from the filter keeps the dust mice out of everything and prevents fouling the power supply and heatsinks, and overheating. Disabling the ion generator, if there is one, keeps it from zapping anything to death.
@sasutina13 I should do that, the dust bunnies are getting out of control in my PC, even with the Corsi running lol.
@ai6yr I had a PC in a clean work area and it still collected them. It's as if the PC was itself a filter.
@sasutina13 yeah, I think they are essentially electrostatic dust attractors, lol.
Darth Osler@ai6yr @sasutina13 they even collect in PCs in class 1000 clean rooms
Ask me how I know
@ai6yr @sasutina13 however, at a VASTLY reduced rate and scale
Yes. Even in class 1 cleanrooms. Mostly it's that superfine, submicron dust that sticks to everything.
