Mushroom Drier and Fish Tank Air Pump that pumps clean air *pics*

hey all, i just wanted to show some people a few gadgets i made up. The first is built for the drying of mushrooms. Simply all i did was take a plastic tupperware container, a 9v battery and a computer fan, and some tape. I cut a hole in the cover and tapped the fan to it. Now just tape the 9v battery to the side and voila! You have a mini mushroom drier. Just put the mushrooms in the box, cover it with your modified cover and tape the wires to the contacts of the battery. Soon enough you'll have cracker dry mushrooms. this is my finished product:
The next was an a tek utilized here : http://www.shroomery.org/index/par/7964 It is an air pump that pumps clean filtered air. Get some coffee filters, a plastic tupperware box, some duct tape, and a fish tank air pump. Put the fish tank pump in the box and make holes for the two hoses and electrical cord. Now tape coffee filters over as a cover and there ya go. A filtered air pump. A hepa filter would obviously be ideal over coffee filters but if its all you got then its all u got. here's wut my finished project looks like:

What about using a Tyvek/polyfill/Tyvek sammich for a filter wouldn't that be better than a coffee filter?

you don't need a filter, the air must travel around the shrooms and then exit the area, that box dosn't leave any hole for air to get out

i think that air would be forced back through the fan, but it might help if a few small holes were put in it.

I have a similar drying machine, i had the same problem you did, there is no where for the air to go out, this makes the air come out through the fan opening.
This flow of air will make your fan overheat and burn out. you need to open up a lot of holes, or completely take out one of the sides of your box for air circulation.
Like others have said, you just might make your harvest rot :\
Nice idea though.
Here are some pictures of my Drying Tube.
Enjoy
