1912 - Cool night time air is dusty-Let's clean it to cool house

gardurnit
14 years ago

Two parts to this thread. I hope it will become more than air filters.

----

Massive amounts of night time air coming in

wants to be cleaned of dust so it will cool

the house and keep it dust free.

Let's try to make this thread the beginning of a well thought out design , DIY ideas, shared here and anywhere.

Can we talk?

And then collate the data and put it where many can review and improve it? My old house is 100 years but many houses need night time clean air.

I'm a materials scientist with a degree in electronics

and a 20yaer background in designing a few minor

analytical labortory instruments (machines).

I enjoy the basics of simple machines. I'd hope

we could keep coming up with good , nay, excellant

plans for cleaning night time air used for cooling

the house.

Don't hesistate to include ideas for transferring

heat 'Just' air doesn't carry much heat

because its mass is low.

Here's some ideas for cleaninng air. Let's just

let cool air come in through the front door.

We put some big low restriction air filters

in the doorway and the air is filtered. We

wash the filters occasionally and we have

clean air compared to dusty night time air when not using

an air filter.

The Internet lacks an ability to fine tune the

quality of the information we are getting. I suppose

Bing is goingt o try to help us. Sell us.

If you can also suggest ways to derive really good

ideas rather than lots of OK or great or not so good

ideas I would LOVE, with a big 'L' to hear them.

I guess coming up with good ideas is not hard. Getting them reviewed and finding the right inexpensive materials is difficult. I see it though. With my own

eyes twice a day I see regular people creating new

technologies that work. We, as people, could outpace

the big corporations if we worked at it. We might undercut the costs of regular business if we enjoy success and make DIY the new 'very high tech' . VHT

In the last 2 years I've struggled to get quality

results from my forum posts and searches. It's

not the people. It's the system.

So 2 things. Air filters and better data quality.

I'm here for the long haul. I want to create a better

system for geting real products into the hands of

ladies at home alone, Kids at school in their first

apartments and families with too little money and

even less time. It's almost time to 'print' 3D

machines in yours and my house and make this

computer thing turn the world on its ears.

Dreaming isn't want I want nor is living in a fantasy.

It will take committment. I retired at 46 to devote time

to this. I'm poor. But it's the best 10 years, I'm

57 next year, of my life.

Anyone who wants my attention for help just ask.

I can assist you with choosing materials based on

their mechanical or chemical makeup as well as

the way they're manufactured. I'm not an

expert in all things but I do work hard to know

what I don't know. So if I share something I

do my best to give the complete story. Again, I

believe, it's about getting quality information.

Thanks for the help with air filtration into a

warm house at night.

Maybe we should have an actual page where designs

and theories are put forth and DIY strive to refine

the ideas.
