I can't find this post on BluSky so sharing link to that other site: #N95 respirator masks are available for free to some groups and organizations through GCDonate. Check your eligibility: ow.ly/3oqF50V0krz

Buying our kits through Donate A Mask Canada helps provide quality respirators to those who can't afford them!

Thanks to everyone that contributed to this project. We almost hit 10% of our funding target and there's a lot we can do towards our ultimate goal of a mass produced PC-fan based air purifier. Our next steps: 1/5

Final 10 hours! Can we make it to 10%? Thanks to everyone who supported our goal to design a silent, powerful and easy to maintain air purifier that can be deployed in classrooms or any place air is shared. igg.me/at/n8zLwkwyT... #COVIDisAirborne

After a week with everyone sick with the flu, production is back in action. Apologies to everyone waiting...

As our fundraiser is coming to an end I want to thank everyone who supported and shared our project! igg.me/at/n8zLwkwyT... #CovidIsAirborne #CleanIndoorAir 1/3

Thanks to everyone who has supported our project to design an ideal air purifier for classroom and other public spaces! With one week to go we have raised over $4000! You can help us by sharing our campaign: igg.me/at/n8zLwkwyT... #IndoorAirQuality #COVIDisAirborne

We've hit $3K+ funding to help design the Polaris prototype: a high performance, low-noise air purifier that's ideal for classrooms and other shared spaces. We have updated our design configuration based on received suggestions: #IAQ #CovidIsAirborne 1/3

Just a reminder that North Box Systems is a small Canadian business. We are going over our supply chain to try and do what we can to minimize the impact of the new tariffs. Most of our parts are manufactured in China and Mexico. 1/3

Here is an online document of our core design concepts along with some of the best community suggestions. Feel free to add to it! #IAQ #CovidIsAirborne docs.google.com/document/d/1...

We've crossed 3K in funding for our campaign to build the ideal air purifier for classrooms and other public spaces. Just 18 days to go! Suggestions from the community have radically changed the design. New renderings coming! #CovidIsAirborne #IAQ igg.me/at/n8zLwkwyT...

One of the ideas we are working on is to use extra internal filters to increase performance, this configuration gives you essentially a traditional 4-filter cube design but squeezed into a smaller footprint. Testing a prototype will determine if this is the way to go:

We're up to 4% of our goal with 27 days left! I'm working on a new rendering of the design, things have already changed a lot thanks to all the great feedback. Please share or consider supporting this project: igg.me/at/n8zLwkwyT... #CovidIsNotOver

Support the development and design of our PC-fan based air purifier that uses off-the-shelf filters and components while getting one of our DIY build-your-own kits. The 6XL in black acrylic is our most powerful machine: Support the project here: igg.me/at/n8zLwkwyT... #CovidisAirborne

We've already hit 3% of our funding target! Keep the suggestions and comments coming in, we want as much community input on the final design as possible. igg.me/at/n8zLwkwyT... #IndoorAirQuality #AirPurifier #COVIDisAirborne

Our fundraising campaign to develop a silent air purifier that uses off-the-shelf, non-proprietary filters has started! You can help us by sharing, making a contribution of any size or selecting a package that includes one of our DIY kits: igg.me/at/n8zLwkwyT...

Excellent paper that summarizes all we know about the effectiveness of portable air filters. Is government going to wait for the class action lawsuits before they take action? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
