I’m one of those HVAC guys that you mentioned 🙂 , one suggestion for you, these blower motors tend to generate some vibration, one of the tricks that I use when installing them is to cut off the excess motor shaft that is left. I do this once I determine the centralization of the fan inside the motor or fan housing. I mark the motor shaft with a marker and then cut that excess part off with a motor grinder… that excess piece will generate more vibration in the future.
This is, and likely will always be, the most thorough video on laminar flow hood construction across the entire internet. So so well done. What a contribution to the community. Thank you for all the effort, editing, knowledge and humor. I look forward to supporting you when I’m purchasing cultures next go around.
I am genuinely very happy to see new videos from you ! I've seen a lot of different videos on mushroom cultivation, and these are clearly the best, very informative, and fun.
@_fungaia I am so happy to see that you have released two new videos!!! I have been coming back to check frequently over the last 5 months or so. Please don’t ever stop posting new content. You have been so informative and of course entertaining as well lol. Even my young kids like to watch your videos with me. How can we help you create more videos more often? Do you have a place we can donate to? Like a patreon or something? Thanks for your time and energy and generosity. I can’t wait to watch this video and the next one 😁
Thanks so much Josh! That's awesome, I'm glad to hear you're raising some myco-warriors. Lot's more in the works! And I appreciate the support, maybe I'll make a patreon someday but for now any support of Fungaia and/or True Blue is what makes it possible. 🙏
I'm a still a noob with mycology but a B+ woodworker and maker. This is hands-down the best explanation and walkthrough I've seen in a long time. If I can NERD on you for a moment, add at least one clickable CTA somewhere in the video to make it easy for viewers to get to your website and your web analytics and CRM know where your sales are coming from. Anyway - keep up the great work!
Great video and thanks for sharing. After watching your video I thought of a way you might could change the HEPA by sliding it in from the side? That way you do not have to take apart the glass and frame? 🎅
I like the thought... the issue would be getting the filter clamped into place with the gaskets, but I'm sure you could engineer something to account for that.
It depends. It's not just about CFM, it has to do with pressure. There are inline centrifugal fans, but most are axial. Even a very powerful axial fan will lose performance quickly in pressure applications. Hopefully your fan's manufacturer has a spec sheet with a chart or graph that will help you.
I wonder if their is a perfect distance from filter to the "tunnel walls". As if too littlle distance perhaps create a vacuum and would suck contaminated air into our stream no ? And too much might disturb the idea of create a kind of tunnel . Does anyone have experience with the side distances ?
You want to minimize the distance. In my builds, the 1.5" gap between the edge of the filter and the tunnel walls creates very minimal turbulence and has never caused me any trouble, partly because I don't tend to do much work at the actual tunnel edge. Much more than that space could lead to the backdraft/Venturi issues I've described. Having the tunnel walls perfectly line up with the edges of the filter would be theoretically ideal.

Its nice seeing a fellow hvac tech commenting on a video on this topic.
You have the most detailed mycology videos on RUclips👌

Been waiting for this masterpiece for a long time. Hats off!

Thank you, I appreciate that! I know, I'm missing out on a lot of those marketing tools. I'll get there eventually! Info first 🙏
Thanks for yet again, another awesome video! Really looking forward to the DIY for the desktop flow hood! Thanks for all you do for the community!
Can't wait to build this. Was looking for a super detailed step by step guide.
My mycology game is about to change for sure
oh !! I Am in the process of building one. This is by far the best Video i watched. Thanks for all the good work you are doing. You are amazing
You are my favorite this is exactly what I needed right now
Love the glass install music choice.
Great build!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome Video (As expected!!) Made mine last week 2' x 2' caught the premiere yesterday loaded with useful info. Appreciate it greatly!!
Right on!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, it is greatly appreciated.
Thank you Paul! yet another great video. you're a treasure
Another great video
This is huge man, thank you so much.
Very nice work. Thank u for sharing your knowledge.
Great job!
What an amazing vid - thank you!
I love guy. Great video. Great gift

shiyytt! thanks for this, stranger from the internet !
Would a 12” inline fan build enough pressure? The air flow is 1600 CFM. Or does it need to be a squirrel style fan?
It depends. It's not just about CFM, it has to do with pressure. There are inline centrifugal fans, but most are axial. Even a very powerful axial fan will lose performance quickly in pressure applications. Hopefully your fan's manufacturer has a spec sheet with a chart or graph that will help you.
So having access to one of those biohazard, s2 rated systems is good or not?
Nice !

I’m gonna use a plastic sterilite bin

You, good sir, are an angel with powdery gills. ❤(*^▽^)/★*☆♪😇
You didn't really say that Paul Stamets is a snake oil salesman. Cause that's totally not true
Right. Like im not too sure about his supplement company. But you cant deny that hes spent the time in studying fungi and pushed for more research
