Blogger Adin Richards ran a hands-on experiment to see whether a consumer HEPA air purifier, the AirFanta 3Pro, could positively pressurize a room as a cheap defense against airborne threats. Using a Testo 510i manometer, he measured the unit reaching 83 Pa when sealed inside a trash bag, but got no usable reading for a full room setup due to a missed calibration step and visible air leakage around taped seals.
