  1. Hey guys, I wanted some input as to how well this filter would actually work. I'm planning on putting the filter sheet into a can with a cpu fan pushing air through it. do you think this will work?

    Thanks, images attached.

  2. Yes it will work for small odor problems if you can get the air pulled through the filter.

    I assume that filter was somewhat expensive. Walmart sells jugs of loose activated carbon in the aquarium section. If you need to make bigger or additional filters you can save $$ using that and some nylons to bag up the carbon. With a 120mm DC fan runnin 9-12 volts pulling air through the carbon it can do a decent job and lasts a reasonably long time too.
     
  3. I'd push air thru the filter.
     
  4. cool thanks for the tips building it tonight or tomorrow
