I recently stayed in an apartment that didnt have central air so I created a corsi-rosenthal box since the smoke from the Canadian wildfires were so bad.

After 30 days of continuous use, with very minimal periods of it being turned off, this is what the filters look like!

It’s disgusting yet also so satisfying to see the filters get darker from debris, dust, and dirt.

Edit: typos

      Oh, that’s an interesting idea, not too much different from a swamp cooler actually so ya I think it would work.

      My question is, where would be the optimal spot for the ice/icepacks:

      • Inside, at the bottom
      • Inside, suspended in the middle
      • Inside, at the top near the fan

      You would have to go out and buy ice, if you use your own fridge to make the ice you will have a net negative energy also just buy a cheap AC, it would save so, so much energy.
