This one is a new / old stock PAPST fan for some big ass computer cooling application. It is amazingly high quality & so quite, if the air wasn't moving, you would not know it was running. :thumbup:

That's a nice one alright. I just finished rigging up a 12v 'raft pump' to a makita trigger/speed control assembly. I need to post pics of my 'agar clone' FC one of these days. :smile:

SQL cage fans will produce positive pressure & maintain it.

Fan PVC piped to plastic 5 gallon bucket of water with a fogger in it, PVC piped to fruiting chamber.

Air flow is actually piped in slightly below the water level, bubbles, then exhausts into another pipe leading into the fruiting chamber. If higher Rh is desired, fogger kicks on & fog also gets piped along.

At least, that is the plan. It is a work in progress,
Object is to do away with coolmist.

Here's a good source for cheap fans, dc wall adapters, even magnets for that homemade stir plate. $7 shipping and no minimum. I'm not shilling for these guys, I'm just too cheap to buy at Radio Shack, Newark, Mouser, DigiKey, etc.

Blowers
Wall warts
Magnets

Mogur, you're awesome. I've been looking for a good magnet for a stir plate. Friggin nice find.

That $7 minimum shipping is rather annoying though. 3 bucks for the magnet, 7 to get it to me.

He he. Yeah, those guys are great. Check out their pyro teks, it's a tempting hobby in itself. But, you're right, headbig, who knows what list you'd end up on nowadays. The nuclear stuff is elementary school science, but the federal watchdogs are getting rabid, so watch out.

LMFAO anarchist0999 . Looks like you are going to have a waterlogged fan that way! Try putting it on the top of the bucket. :smile:

And also, agar. I think it would be rather hard to pipe in the airflow to below the water (especially keeping the water level constant). For one, it would cause very loud large bubbles if not done correctly and two, thats some serious backpressure for the fan, no? I love the idea, I just hope it works.

yeah i didnt really think of that since he said below the water level. i guees it was just how he worded it, and how i read it.
i was thinking you were gonna need like a humongus check valve or somthing.
then i thought of plastic tubing to put the fan above water level.
but that way looks better.

i would think that the fogger would need to be on most of the time.
do you think that the fan bubbling the water alone is going to allow the FC to maintain humidity, or put drier air into the FC?

keeping the fan at the lowest possible speed would work good i think.
does your fan have a variable speed, i guess you could buy something to regulate to power it receives.

I am working on the thing, now.

Fan blew a little to much air for a 24 cubic ft freezer. :rolleyes:

So, I added a variable speed control, so it is adjustable cfm. :grin:

Fan inlet pipe into the bucket (pointing downward)& actually entered the water.

BUT, the sumbitch made BUBBLING sounds like Niagara falls.

So, I pulled the lid off, to cut the PVC pipe shorter.

Then, it struck me. Don't cut it shorter.

Drill a lot of HOLES in it, from the top down.

That way, air is blown down the pipe, hits the water, then vents out the holes ABOVE the buckets water level & out the exhaust pipe, into the fruiting chamber. That resolved the bubbling noise.

Just running that way, without the fogger on.
It does produce a mist effect sort of like a coomist.

Without the fogger on, this sumbitch is killer. :thumbup:

With the fogger on, it is super killer. :thumbup::grin::thumbup:

DAMN!
Good idea agar.  That's awesome.  I've been planning to do one of these set ups myself.  That idea with putting holes in the PVC is really gonna help.

I was thinking about putting a smaller piece of pipe inside the larger one and having the bottom connected to Styrofoam or something so it would float just at the water's level  :crazy: lol

SAY,  What do you have in mind for a timer on that fogger  :smirk:

After looking around I think I might try my hand at making one of deeze,

lmao.. you ask that as if it just hit you.  But I know the truth.. :tongue:

On a more related note, agar, how durable are those little squirrel fans?  Meaning, would they handle the continual stress of being on 24/7?
