This is the first 10 of almost 50 air purifiers for the BC Wildfire Service. They will help protect their crews from airborne smoke particles while they sleep in their tents set up nearby active fires.

Here is our prototype activated carbon air cleaner. I'm hoping it will be effective against wildfire smoke VOCs.
It uses 3 x Arctic P14 Pro fans with a speed controller.

This is either the world's largest PC fan air purifier...or a stack of custom machines for wildfire-fighters! #airpurifier #indoorairquality #wildfiresmoke

Found a bag to facilitate this for medical appointments where I have to take my mask off. Wait time in an exam room is almost always 15-20 minutes. Today was 25-30 minutes run time before mask removal.
Not perfect - but no downside.
No one even noticed.

It ain't pretty but here is the working prototype of the "SmokeBuster". A Dupont Activated Carbon "odor and VOC filter" with 3 stacked P14 Pro speed controllable fans.
Getting this ready in time for wildfire season.

3D printing some prototype parts for our new stand-alone carbon filter designed to help mitigate VOC gasses. Wildfire season is rapidly approaching and I'm hoping to have these ready soon! #airpurifier #VOC #wildfiresmoke #indoorairquality

1/4 Maintenance day for the NorthBox 5X Classic!
Added the FilterGuard yesterday and the aesthetic upgrade is exactly what my partner was looking for. Huge thanks to Robert from NorthBox for the amazing support and for providing the FilterGuard. It looks sharp!

Working on something new to deal with wildfire VOCs that uses a Dupont activated charcoal filter and three stacked Arctic P14 Pro fans. Design inspired by Alex / The Fandelier's warp cores.

I've heard good things about this particular filter, I'll report back on how things go once I put it together, have to 3D print some parts and laser cut some panels!

We've been noticing that some brands of air filters get snagged at the bottom of our Polaris frame when you insert them, there is an easy fix detailed in this video:

Great to see one of our Polaris Air Purifiers as part of Clean Indoor Air Toronto's display at the Climate Roundtable hosed by Toronto City Councillor Josh Matlow and The Wards Project. #CovidIsAirborne #IndoorAirQuality #AirPurifier

Sometimes you find the current situation articulated perfectly:

I am convinced that the pandemic will lead to two paradigm shifts. The first, as described in this article, is a reconceptualisation of pathogens as not just common causes of acute illness, but also common causes of chronic illness.
The second will be the end of droplet dogma.

Looks like we got it right! Time to get those kits out!

Picking up the first batch of aluminum panels from our new fabricator shop, located a lot closer to help reduce our carbon footprint by avoiding a lot of shipping. Now it's testing phase to make sure we didn't mess anything up! #manufacturing #airpurifiers #CovidIsAirborne

Extensive review of our 5X air purifier that highlights some of our main objectives: repairability and the use of off-the-shelf parts that can easily be swapped with other brands.
