  1. Thanks for giving me your experience on this. Whats the CFM rating of your fan?
  2. Honestly ... this does work for me. But for it to work, I have to sit next to the large noisy fan. I'm trying to achieve a more lounge-like feel.
  3. Thank you for your reply! You have given me some things to think about. I agree with you on going larger, not taxing the unit at 100%, and to consider cfm loss due to friction. Regarding the register... I was going to place this directly overhead where I smoke, but I am concerned about the potential noise. As you said, I can play with the duct size and register type. I do not plan on installing a dampener. The garage is not heated so no worries about heat escaping to the outside. Also, that is a very interesting idea using a smoke machine ... or I will invite everyone from my lounge over for testing as well!!
  4. I agree with you there, my garage is definitely not sealed. I was just thinking that a slight negative pressure is desired, helping the smoke being drawn into the register like a vacuum.
  5. Hi Guys, I plan to install an inline exhaust fan to clear cigar smoke in my garage - it will be installed in the attic. I am looking at this 10" inline fan: https://acinfinity.com/hydroponics-growers/ventilation/inline-fan-systems/cloudline-pro-s10-quiet-inline-duct-fan-system-with-speed-controller-10-inch/ My garage size: 5580 cubic feet Air Flow Rating of Fan: 1200 CFM Flexible duct runs: * From register to inline fan: 12 ft * From inline fan to roof vent: 6 ft The register will be overhead where I smoke and I plan on cracking the man door next to me... or partially/fully opening my 18 ft garage door. Questions: 1. If I have my 18ft garage door all the way open... this will significantly reduce the negative pressure in the room. Will this have a negative effect on smoke being drawn into the register? 2. According to my calculations... with my garage space and inline fan rating, I should get close to 12 air exchanges an hour. This seems adequate, but I am questioning if I should go with a 12" inline fan with a higher CFM rating. Thanks!
  6. Looks awesome. I was thinking that maybe trying to build some as a hobby - can you tell me the relative cost for the needed tools and materials? Like anything, things can be as expensive as you want them to be - just thinking of a rough guesstimate.
  7. That's why I brought it up. However, N95 masks and respirators when properly worn/handled help protect the user. We just dont have enough of these to go around. There is confusion amongst the public about what regular fabric masks actually do.. and there is a false sense of security with their use.
  8. Home made masks dont work. They help prevent droplets from contaminating air space than without... but they don't prevent intake of contaminated air to the user. Surgical mask dont protect the user either.
  9. Well never saw the allure of facebook... saw it more as an accepted online voyerism on your friends... but hey! Was never comfortable with posting personal or family stuff... and giving that to a company (never had a facebook page). Im in development... the intent of facebook was monetizing from very beginning... despite all that bs you have heard from mark... that means selling your information. But you cant live in society much without participating in tech... that means ... privacy does not exist. It never has really... ever.
