Measuring My DIY Air Purifier

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-28 19:07:26

For this post, I tried to measure the performance of my DIY air purifier, the Corsi-Rosenthal box. I wanted to compare its performance against natural ventilation, and commercial ones like the Levoit 400s home purifier. The main metric I needed to beat was the clean air delivery rate (CADR), which is how much ‘polluted air’ is filtered in an hour for a given type of pollutant (like smoke) - it has units in cubic metres of air per hour. Again, this is not a lab grade experiment, but rather a min

As you can see, this version of Frankenstein’s monster is very distinct, and a strong departure from the classic depiction most closely associated with the literary icon. The character is played by Jacob Elordi, best-known for Euphoria and Saltburn, and you also get to hear his version of the creature’s voice as he tells his side of the dark story.
