Powered respirator (PAPR) cost too much. Is there a DIY plan for making
one?
It looks like some sort of fan plus a dust mask should do the job. Picking
the right fan and dust mask is the tricky part.
I think I could come up with something involving a windowbox fan, some
leftover plexi, a few feet of shop vac hose and a long extension
cord.
Want me to give it a try over the weekend?
Spend the money, if you make your own and it doesn't work - you could die.
