Our MINI-SC is entirely built by hand and takes quite a while to make but it's just so much fun to put together!

Checking out some nifty digital timers to add automation control to an air purifier. Up to 15Amps so you can have multiple units controlled. Great for classrooms where you can just hit the 8-hour button and you are good!

COVID Isn’t a Cold. It’s Cigarettes All Over Again.

5 years into this experiment: we let COVID rip and pretended it was fine. Damage piled up—unlike smoking’s slow toll, we’re seeing it in real time. Every infection leaves a mark; even “mild.” The bill comes due. We chose denial

A vintage 1946 Camel cigarette advertisement shows a smiling older white man in a doctor’s coat holding a cigarette. The slogan claims “More Doctors Smoke Camels Than Any Other Cigarette.” Above the ad, bold yellow text reads “COVID Isn’t a Cold. It’s Cigarettes All Over Again,” drawing a parallel between COVID risks and the tobacco industry’s history of downplaying harm.

Oh yes, we already have our MINI-SC which uses 4 x P8 Max fans and has PWM speed control. I'm working on something called the "Guardian" which I'm hoping will be the cheapest machine we will make, 4 x 140mm fans and 2 x Ikea Starkvind.

This is an early version with 120mm fans:

We'd only been in BC a month or so when a wildfire rained ash on our car and smogged up our apartment. Worked with the folks @northboxsystems.bsky.social (thanks to a rec from @cleanairkits.bsky.social) and got a custom air purifier together with adjustable speed fans. No more proprietary filters!

Whole bunch of different stuff on the bench today, including some prototypes we are working on!

It uses 4 x 120mm Arctic P12 fans, 2 x Ikea Starkvind E12 filters, rubber feet, power switch and a carrying handle.

Testing data and pricing to follow soon!

Realizing the original 8 x 80mm fan was misguided, here is the redesigned Guardian. My goal was to make the cheapest, quietest and most portable solution. Aiming for chemo patients going into hospital, it can be a great solution for any smaller space.

I really should get the bench better organized!

North Box Systems @northboxsystems.bsky.social · Sep 8

Absolutely! Have a look at our demo video:

My goal with the Guardian was to make a cheaper small purifier that used less expensive fans than the P8-Max. The new Guardian design will be closer to a cube shape so not quite as portable but low cost and easy to assemble.

Hi, after some thought we are doing a re-design of this concept to make it less expensive but still combining powerful performance and very quiet operation. I'll be posting an image of the prototype soon! (all our designs use 12 volt 2.1mm power connections so you can use portable batteries.)

Always encouraging to hear great feedback from people using our stuff!

Feeling especially grateful that I am able-bodied enough to work full-time to afford this.

A huge improvement over my CR box! So quiet! 😀

This was ordered through NorthBox systems and I just installed the filters today.

I should have grabbed a photo but wanted to be sure to post a quick "Thank you!" to @northboxsystems.bsky.social and my pair of North Box 5X Classics for keeping my TAs safer during our training workshop yesterday.

These beasts are so quiet no one has ever noticed them until they actually see them.

We've got a little kit we're hoping can be given to patients before they go into hospital to help mitigate the risks from airborne viruses, I'm hoping a charity would be interested in working with us on this, particularly for cancer:

This is an important potential treatment for Long Covid:

Andrew Dobbie @a-dobbie11.bsky.social · Aug 13

I still have not been able to find a GTA doctor willing to help Openwater with the 150 kHz ultrasound treatment of Long COVID microclots.
Openwater will provide all the materials. Literally just need a PHD candidate or doctor to administer.
Interested or know of anyone? Pls DM🙏

The more we can diagnose & treat Long COVID issues (like microclots), the better life will be for everyone.

These are a pair of Ikea Starkvind filters, rated E12. They are 37 x 29 cm.

My guess, based on the performance rating of the P8, is a CADR of 100 cfm.

Our first shipment of fans has finally made it in! Over the next several days we will be getting as many of our air purifier kits and units out to everyone who placed an order...thanks for your patience!
