It’s literally what I thought it was, and worse than you probably think:

> Without the use of high-tech supplies, Shokunbi created the air filter using a box fan, four furnace filters, duct tape and cardboard. After sending the filter out for testing, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) gave the device a 99% efficiency rate.

Literally made a cube out of HEPA furnace filters (White invention) and stuck a box fan (White invention too) on top blowing out. Secured it using cardboard and duct tape. This receives national coverage, praise, and 11.5 million.

> “A lot of people, they don’t realize sometimes that the only thing standing between them and getting sick is science,” Shokunbi said.

Fucking hell I don’t even have words.

More surface space = more air flow.

Sure. Doubt it's noticeable. And 4 filters with fan on top is awkward, poorly balanced and expensive. I bet it falls over after a month of use

I made one using 8 filters. When doing merv-13, the filters resist a lot of airflow to stop allergens from getting through. Yes you can use one filter, but 4 is 4x the airflow and 8 is 8x the airflow. Im sure there is a limit based on the fan's power. You can also store things inside. A sheet around it makes it no longer ugly. Extra money can buy a quiet fan.

Its a great deisgn. Far better than the $500 hepa filter. Will last much longer and has a higher cvm rating. I paid $12 per filter and $25 for the fan.
