Electronic Air Cleaners are perfect for removing very small air pollution particles including smoke, pollen, fumes, vapors and very fine dust. Airborne particles are generated by activities including smoking, cleaning & sweeping. They can also enter the area from the outside. These contaminants are easily captured by an electronic air cleaner. How Electronic Smoke Eaters Work – First, larger particles such as dust, lint or hair, are captured by the pre-filter(s). As the dirty air passes through the electric field, all particles, including the smallest, are given an electrical charge. The air passes into the electronic collector cell where the charged particles stick to the collector plates. Each time the air circulates through the electronic air cleaner, more particles are removed. If odors are a concern, electronic air cleaners, combined with activated carbon are an effective way to trap most odors and VOC gases. Most electronic air cleaners include a post-carbon filter to trap odors, gases and VOC’s.

I know how to solder. I've been avoiding it as much as possible for a long time due to the really crappy soldering iron I've had. As an early Christmas preset, my fiance bought me an Aoyue 937+ solder station. There are better but it's been the best solder station I've ever used. So I've gotten back in to soldering things rather than just twisting and clamping wires or using solderless breadboards. The problem with all the soldering, smoke. I swear no matter how I position my head, the smoke always goes straight to my face. They make the fans that filter smoke to buy but they are about $80. So I opted to make a quickie one. i didn't even care if it filtered air when I started, just get the smoke away. So I threw some stuff together. This is a very basic build. I could do some fancy stuff like add a switch and throw some carbon in a filter and put LED's on it. But that won't really improve performance. I just wanted something that worked. I don't want to make it complicated.Step 1: PartsShow All Items« PreviousNext »View All Steps Download
