Its been a busy month. Some new pictures and heres what has been completed/improved.
1. This is my arsenal of bulbs, one 60 watt 2700K, five 42 watt 2700K, a 26 watt 2700k, and at the top of the picture are two 65 watt 6500 K. Temps today were 84 in there so one 65 watter was pulled out now we are running 360 watts. I will check the temp again before I crash for the night.
2. Cleaning out my fan, here you can see that I basically unscrewed the two halves of the unit. Set the fan in place over the hole I cut in the top shelf and then screwed the halves on either side of the top shelf.
3. The black strip you see on the middle shelf allows more air flow , a passive ventilation system that pulls cool air up from the floor. The shelf has holes drilled in for the same reason and also so that any spills leak to the bottom rather than puddling up anywhere near electrical components.
4. This is a picture of the top shelf passive air up close
5. This is a home carbon filter I made. It is made from two register vent filters, active carbon poured in between and taped shut. These come with pre-bent sides that make a shallow box when folded so two taped together and Voila! Cheap, and it even has air freshener built in. See the pink dots in the mesh! Like $2 for the filters and eight to ten bucks for the activated carbon pellets. I lay the unit over the fans on top. The room smells great! LOL
6.Another pic up closer
7. The complete unit less the top. The exterior is black cloth and the inside of the cloth is lined with emergency blanket mylar. Once I put the fan back together, mylar was applied over the inside ceiling with spray adhesive and then slits were cut in the mylar over the fan housing inside. The front is closed with velcro across the front top edge and left side. The top is in the works.
