Re: Make a smoke filter.
I closed all of the windows and put my air purifier on this morning before I left for work. I hope that'll make things a bit cleaner feeling when in get home.

Re: Make a smoke filter.
Voice said;
Reminds me of my great grandmothers saying,
"If people were meant to smoke god would have put chimneys on them."
May we ask voice his/her opinion of
Motors added to bicycles,
clothes on people,
trailers behind cars,
cooked food,
overshoes,
spectacles
condoms
Voice do you understand this kind of stuff?
To calculate the hot winding temperature for an un-encapsulated, open dripproof medium motor with a Class F winding, 1.0 SF, lead-to-lead resistance of 1.21 ohms at an ambient temperature of 20 C, and hot resistance of 1.71 ohms, proceed as follows:The temperature rise equals the hot winding temperature minus the ambient temperature, or in this case:
Temperature rise = 125 C - 20 C = 105 C
As Table 1 shows the calculated temperature rise of 105 C in this example equals the limit for a Class F insulation system (105 C). Although that is acceptable,
if a fan was meant to have a filter on it it would come with one

Re: Make a smoke filter.
Smoke is particles and filters trap particles, so of course the OP's idea works. Turning your hvac fan on also works.
Frankly, I've found vodka works better.

Re: Make a smoke filter.
Now that I have had my second screw driver, I will note
Daughter says she went out and bought a charcoal furnace filter to tape onto the box fan, says no smoke & no smell, and has the fan running in the living room

Great idea - thanks for the tip.
Truths can be backed up by facts - do you have any?

hard to keep the smoke out if the mall doors open and close ever 15 seconds to let someone in or out of the mall

The mall entrances all have two sets of doors, I think that would reduce that problem.

Re: Make a smoke filter.
Just an observation.......
Saturday night I washed my car on the lawn....my watering day and I used a bucket and rinsed it........little water used and on the lawn so please no hassles here.
The point was on Sunday morning my clean dark car was covered in visible white ash particles. They may not be obvious when outside to the human eye, you only smell the smoke.......but I can certainly understand the breathing problems and warnings. After seeing the actual particulate so clearly, I'm staying inside with cool mist humidifiers and fans to keep the inside air "moving".
A few drops of peppermint oil in humidifiers also seems to help breathing.
In passing they say 10 is a bad reading.............at 6:30 this morning they stated it was 16. Don't be fooled by that seeming clearing and touch of blue sky.

Thanks for the tip. Made us realize we could also run the furnace air blower to "clean" the inside air and worked great - basically the same idea already in place. Cheers.
