This is my air cleaner based on a Bill Pentz design
http://billpentz.com/woodworking/cyc...ir_cleaner.cfm
I have modified the design for stability by adding the four threaded rods which have acorns on their top ends and placed the unit on castors
I have placed a mesh above the fan for added safety and the purpose of the orange ribbon is to provide a visible indicator when the fan is running
The mesh is held in place with red cable ties and the perimeter of the mesh is a metal seal off a plastic drum
The two wooden shelves are braced for added strength
The fan is 230 watts and moves 11 cubic feet per second perhaps a little overkill but I was given the fan
If you decide to build a similar air cleaner based on the images below it is easier to assemble the unit by placing the acorn washer on the threaded rods first then tighening the nuts below the base
To clean the flter I turn the fan upside down reassmble the unit and run it outside
I apolozise for the images not being the correct way up I was unable to rotate them
