How To Build A Corsi-Rosenthal Box

It’s time to clear the air Cause COVID is still there… And if you want a cheap machine that will cancel tox- -ic pathogens in the air, Well then you oughta hear ‘bout the Corsi-Rosenthal Box.

First you get your fan, Keep the box that it came in You’ll need it for the floor; Now get filters, count 'em, four. What rating? MERV-13. The hardware store will know what you mean. As always, you’ll be stuck, Without your tape for duck. Now add a box-cutter, you're on your way to warding off the pox! This is everything you need to build a Corsi-Rosenthal Box.

With the filters, build the shell In order to build it well Look for the big arrow; It shows how the air should flow. First filter you begin With the arrow pointing in Then build a filter fence By butting up against Tape it up so every filter interlocks Now you’ve got four strong walls for your Corsi-Rosenthal Box.

Don’t worry there’s not much more But you’ve got to make a floor That shouldn’t come as a shock Since that’s why you kept the box So cut your square to fit Tape it on the top of it Turn it upside down and then You’re ready for the fan Now with all you’ve done you’ll find that you’re approx- -imately one or two steps from done your Corsi-Rosenthal box

Before you do the rest, You’ve got to give the fan a test You'll feel like such a jerk, If it turns out not to work, When you’ve used up all that tape To attach it to the crate And covered gaps and slits With tape and cardboard bits

Not to complicate, just make a little slit in the tape So the cord can escape Or else the thing will never go Make a little slit then cut another bit Also with a slit They fit Opposite And overlap them now you’re sealing soundly so– You’re sure it’s only through the filters air can blow– Also— They take out dust and pollen and smoke Which is good to know Tape the corners of the fan just to increase the rate of flow– Oh! Congratulations you just built one of the building blocks, For being safe to respire (Ahhh…) Now sit back and admire Your lovely little Corsi-Rosenthal Box

If you're in an area that is suffering from wildfire polluted air, I just saw this on Twitter:

Bonus:

Here's a site I found that can tell you how to make these:

Edit: There have been some extra pointers (about open sources of water in the home, and I believe some other things) in the reblogs, so I highly recommend taking a look at the notes of this post!

Also: Cloth masks are NOT sufficient. Use KN95s or N95s!

I think cybergoths and cyberpunks who wear those big decorative gas masks should consider putting voice changers in them. just for funsies.

#idk I think if I could put like a voice filter on at any moment while also looking sick as hell and androgynous I'd be satisfied #transition goals #i could switch them up too #like you have that cool like staticy distortion some days and spooky overlapping voices another day #or just become a vocaloid i mean why the fuck not. we have the tech. live your dreams #god I wanna do this so bad now but I'm broke as hell. someday #cybergoth #cyberpunk #darkalt #alt #darkalt fashion #alt diy #alt fashion #alternative #alternative fashion #dark alternative fashion #dark alternative

Hello team, there's a lot of smoke from wildfires in my area right now and it sucks. I could really do with some silly baby bears in my life today ❤

we're sorry to hear that friend. stay indoors, wear a mask, and do your best to stay safe (psst. here's a DIY air filtration system you can make on the fly) we hope you and everyone else in your area and in the wildfires path & smoke path stay safe and we hope this ridiculously silly babies can help make things a little more bearable 💙

#stay safe y'all #the team experienced this ourselves recently & found that the diy air filter works pretty well #so give it a try if you can't get your hands on an air purifier #ask

I'm here to start the conversation about the time between baby Lister being conceived, born, and the actual pool table drop-off. Because Lister realises what he has to do and then EIGHTEEN months go by before he says goodbye to his son/himself.

Like? Hello? It would seem that the writers' favourite hobby is inventing the most interesting stories ever and then failing to tell them.

THIS is one guess at the timeline for baby Lister's existence during the events of series VII. Since it's never addressed, the timeline is very open-ended so there's many different ways it could have happened, so this is just one proposal. The red text indicates the time since the first panel (click image for better quality)

But whatever the timeline, it will always mean nine months of waiting for that lil guy to be ready, gestating in a Tupperware container or whatever. And then ANOTHER six to nine months of caring for him as an infant, depending on when the conception happens. Because he wasn’t a newborn when he was left. That kid spent time on Starbug.

How involved was Kris? What about The Cat and Kryten? How did they know when it was time? The timeline of the show makes it so during some of series 7, fetus Lister must've been on Starbug somewhere, the pool table scene in Ouroboros being a flash-forward. This is based on the fact that the following episodes are set immediately after Kochanski is stranded and she adjusts to her new life and companions. Maybe they didn't fertilise the tube straight away, but it must've been fairly soon because the drop-off must've happened before Nanarchy since they'd not get another chance once Starbug (and the time drive) is destroyed. But then does that mean in previous episodes there was a whole ass baby on board while they're LARPing in Austenland, getting trapped in the ship's ducts, and dealing with a zombie virus? Or do those stories only take place before Lister is born and after he's left in the past?

Oh the implications...

Just swapped out the filters on our 1st Corsi-Rosenthal cube, and what a difference! Dusty old filter above, minty fresh one below.

This particular filter box spent 10+ months on low inside our house, catching tons of wildfire smoke, PM2.5, and COVID-19 aerosols, as well as pollen, dust, and mold. Glad all that's on THERE and not in our lungs!

I highly recommend building your own CR box for your home, school, work, mutual aid meet ups, etc. All you need is 4 MERV-13 filters (sold at most hardware stores), a 20" box fan, scissors, cardboard, and duct tape.

It ends up costing about $75-100 - much cheaper and performs a lot better than a lot of fancy air purifiers. Building it with 2 people takes about an hour (mostly to measure and cut out the weird shroud thing), and swapping in new filters is much faster.

Check out the Clean Air Crew website to get started on your own! We protect each other! 💪😷✨

Do you have any recommended tutorials for how to mend/repair knitted sports fabrics or items like leggings?

Mending stretchy fabrics

The biggest issue most people have with mending items like these is the fact that they're made of stretchy fabric, but it's not as scary as it seems. :)

I've got a compilation post that shows how to mend stretchy fabrics. My leggings tag might also help you out. r/Visiblemending also has plenty of examples.

#these arent really anything in particular just figuring out my new camera & thought they looked kinda cool #minimal editing the effects are a kaliedewscope lens on the bottom one & a diy filter i made on the top one #texticles

Sorry, not sorry. I just can't get over how perfect this is for someone who had no plans. I just had a box of bleach and stared at the seemingly endless abyss that is the leftover hair dye box.

Knocked it out of the park.

Also, 20 days til my birthday. You may prepare your offerings now. $frankenpagie

The way seeing the air quality classified as “unhealthy” is like oh good it’s improving!

#it was 'very unhealthy' earlier! great! we almost got to 'hazardous' but never hit it #my brother lived through several summers in the bay area he has lots of DIY air filter hacks. #hopefully we won't need them #my east coast pals we are out here and our eyes are watering #text post tag

For those of us in the path of the smoke from the fires in Canada, a homemade CR box does a great job cleaning the air. Just make sure you get Filtrete 1900 filters that can handle and filter smoke and soot.

I have made my own air filter box! With macaroni duct tape and then I ran out of that and had to use blue. But it was in total about $85 for the materials (filters and box fan) so that's nice.

California smoke is bad and I have no AC, so I need my doors and windows open unless I'd like to bake. Which I don't. And since I caught COVID my lungs are rather more sensitive to the smoke then they have been in the past. This should help. Not as pretty as a store bought $200+ one but seems to be just as effective.

Check out edgecollective.io/airbox for more information, which I found from some other Tumblr post I can't find anymore.

In the fall, the bumblebees all converge on the huge sunchoke “bush” that grows in our backyard.

The crazy swirly background was accomplished in camera using the bokeh filter below.

Simply cut out of thin cardboard, the small holes act in the same way as the single hole in a regular bokeh filter would except that the multiple variously shaped bokeh it produces all overlap. The larger hole at the bottom provides a bokeh free area to shoot through. It is held in place by a cheap Cokin filter holder knockoff. Adjusting the filter up and down and rotating the filter holder gives some control over the position and amount of swirliness achieved.
