(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best household fans

I was a first year elementary teacher last August! I bought a TON of stuff on Amazon. I pulled up all of my old orders...here are some of my favorites that I use daily in my classroom. These are not affiliate links, I just added links for quick wishlist adding for you :)

OH, and as far as things like books, manipulatives, school supplies...WAIT and see what you are provided with, first. Once I got into my classroom, I had a TON of things waiting for me like rulers, glue, a globe...things I probably would have bought, had I had all summer to shop (I got hired a week before school started). I was surprised to learn that my school didn't provide me with supplies like staples or paper clips (I had these things when I student taught elsewhere), so I had to run out and get those. Oh, and an actual stapler and tape dispenser! I forgot about those and when I needed those in the first week, I made a trip to Staples that night!

magnetic hooks- for the whiteboard...I hang bathroom passes, keys, etc. on them https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001G52NMQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

magnetic clips- I clip SO MUCH stuff to my whiteboard, so these are awesome https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N3WLKH4/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

magnetic pen cup- for whiteboard markers and eraser, keeps them out of reach for my first graders! This one is PERFECT because the eraser fits on the one side, and expos on the other. I added little cardboard dividers on the inside so the markers don't fall over (only a problem if you don't have it full of markers) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QKXHR52/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

magnetic storage pocket- my classroom has a lot of magnetic surfaces, so I love the magnetic stuff...I keep my pointers in here https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0034ITE16/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

magnetic holders- these babies are STRONG! I keep supplies in these for math that we use during our daily morning math routines (math manipulatives and stuff). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F9JKW9U/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I got a few posters like these for tracking reading points, etc. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1483832767/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

tension rods- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0070ODWLI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I use one under my sink to hang spray bottles (febreeze, non-hazardous cleaner, etc.) and one between the air conditioner unit and my wall to hang anchor charts, which I have clipped onto hangers with clips like these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017WYF0IS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Seriously, hang your anchor charts. Find a way to do it and you'll LOVE it, I promise! So much better than laying them flat and having to sort through them when you need a certain one.

sheet protectors- Need cheap whiteboards? Pop a white piece of paper inside and voila. I use 99 cent store 4-pack markers, which have held up surprisingly well, for the kids (the tips also don't seem to "squish" in like the expos, so bonus!) If you're doing something like a math worksheet or handwriting practice, you can insert printed paper for kids to write on...the possibilities are endless here! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006IC89/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

pocket charts- I teach first, so it's pocket chart central over here, but even older grades could utilize this awesome schedule pocket chart...plus it's black, I love that it's not blue or red! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/148381467X/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I actually bought a second one of these after I got the first because I liked it so much. Oh, and my black calendar pocket chart...love this, too! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1483814696/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

stickers- Kids love stickers. End of story. I bought a ton in bulk. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FF2T88C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Fan for my desk - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HI7950/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Small and powerful!

Birthday prizes and certificates, like these - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NNNWSQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DUF49UO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

my favorite thing, a laminator! I laminate EVERYTHING...charts, nametags, word wall words, game boards, anything. There are different sizes of laminators that you can buy, I just have the standard one that fits normal sized sheets of paper, and it's served me very well! I also buy the refill pouches on Amazon because they are WAY cheaper than at Staples https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012UEXTQ/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

this is optional, but sticky hands- these make GREAT prizes and the kids love them more than any other prize or incentive I've offered (I teach first grade). I get these ones: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002F4MGO2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I also wanted to add...since I have primary, I wanted to make them "spots" to sit on for carpet time. A carpet wasn't provided to me (you know, the Lakeshore one with colored squares), so I went cheap and bought a few feet of carpet tape from sitspots.com. They have cute actual spots, too, but I was cheap and bought the tape, cut it into 3x3" squares, and slapped those on the classroom carpet. They're holding up great (I'll be able to reuse them next year for sure) and my custodian loves them because it's not actual adhesive tape on the carpet. I just got a new student, so I had to rearrange the spots...they peel up and stick back down PERFECTLY (they're velcro). If you have the need for something like this, I HIGHLY recommend the velcro tape stuff!

OH, and when it came to book boxes and book bins, 99 cent store, dollar tree, big lots are your friends! If you have a little more cash, I got some from Target in the dollar section, too. But, they only have theirs during June I believe (they're super strong, $3 a pop but I'll be able to reuse all of mine next year).

BEST pencil sharpener around is the one from classroomfriendlysupplies.com. It is amazing. PERFECT points every time, and it even gets through those cheap novelty wrapped pencils. I love it. My kids broke the electric one I bought, so I got this one and now just use it myself, although older kids would be able to learn it (I subbed in a 3rd grade class that had one and they used it just fine with some training).

I LOVE folders for things like an unfinished work folder, homework folder, writing folder, etc. The cheapest place I found was Staples...over summer they were selling boxes of 25 for $4. I got a ton of them in different colors. Made color coding easy!

Let me know if you have any questions or need any help navigating your first year. I'm a month away from being done with my first year, and it's still very fresh in my mind how stressful, fun, aggravating, exciting, exhausting, confusing, and rewarding it all is!

If you are trying to salvage the baseboard, be gentle and take your time. If you aren't trying to salvage it, bust it up and take out some anger on it.

I was just thinking about posting something about this. Would love to see setups and get tips for the best experience.

I have a pic on my Instagram - @peloton_clarkie. I’ll take some more and upload when I get home.

We turned our second bedroom into a spin studio of sorts. We have two bikes separated by a yoga mat for post ride stretching.

Mats are a huge win. You can either get the Peloton mat, an off brand mat from Amazon, or go to a carpet/flooring store and get a remnant of some garage flooring or otherwise. At most you’ll spend $60, but sweat clean up and saving the floor is absolutely worth it.

I am going to hang some hooks by the door for headbands, towels, hr monitors, etc. Right now we hang our gear on the handlebars, which isn’t ideal since you have to move a bunch of stuff before a spin. I also want to find a place to put a bench that we can store shoes / get ready. Name of the game is less barriers to working out...

Fan is a major bonus as well. I have the plus of being next to a window so we put a box fan there when spinning. Another upgrade would be to get fans that are mounted on the wall. I’ve seen those on amazon for $60 or so.

I had a major issue with Bluetooth headphones and getting them synced with the video, which ultimately pushed me to buy a better audio system. I have both bikes running into a Sony receiver, which powers two bookshelf speakers and Bluetooth 4.1 to my headphones. I highly recommend upgrading the speakers on the bike if you can. It’s made the experience infinitely better to have in sync, exceptional sound.

I stumbled onto this subreddit earlier today. It's pretty amazing what you all do for each other - beautiful.

I am currently out of work (but desperately looking,) in between college semesters trying to make ends meet - mostly by donating plasma and doing odd jobs. I live without air conditioning and normally use a fan. However, my fan crapped out on me last night. It has been so hot and I could barely sleep. I ended up laying on the kitchen floor to keep as cool as possible. I will not be able to afford a fan until late august at this rate. Today, I was shopping around on amazon and it seemed like this fan was the best deal but I still can't afford it: http://www.amazon.com/Lasko-2521-Oscillating-Stand-Fan/dp/B0014IDZOU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1374805534&sr=8-3&keywords=fan

It's only $25 including shipping.
I can understand if someone else is more compelling to you but I'm sure imagine how I would feel if I got a fan during this heat wave! I promise that I would pay it forward.

Thank you for reading and I hope you have a wonderful week.

Just one window definitely makes it harder, but you can still get some circulation going if you put a box fan in the window.

I suggest turning the fan to blow out during the day, with the bedroom door open to allow air flow.
Then turn the fan to pull air in during the cooler evening/night.

you're better off not bothering with those little window fans like this , because they are pretty much always too weak to do any good.
Get a basic box fan like this , and just cover the window space next to the fan with a board or curtain or something.

I'd say better than nothing but if you have the room, a floor fan would be better since it'll blow on your entire body as well as the Quest. I use one when I play and it's nice and keeps my Quest pretty cool, as compared to sometimes when I have used my Quest in a different room without the fan.

Something like this is what I use:

https://www.amazon.com/Lasko-2264QM-Velocity-QuickMount-Black/dp/B004IS6JBY/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=high+velocity+floor+fan&qid=1569074998&sr=8-4

Also smaller guys with a bit less air flow if you'd be standing close to where the fan would be:

https://www.amazon.com/Patton-PUF1810C-BM-18-Inch-High-Velocity/dp/B004WT6ZFO/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=high+velocity+floor+fan&qid=1569075074&sr=8-7

I bought a few cheap misting fans last year:
https://www.amazon.com/O2COOL-Carabiner-Misting-Fan-Teal/dp/B00TQPO3DU/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1494942595&sr=8-6&keywords=mist+fan

I'm pretty sure they were O2 cool. They lasted throughout the weekend, they didn't move that much air but you could definitely feel it and didn't have to exert extra energy to create the movement of air.

More importantly, imo, the misting feature was SO refreshing in that heat. Spraying it on your forehead, chest, and especially back of the neck felt like an instant body temp cool-down of a couple degree. I highly recommend a mister over an old school hand fan

This is the same type of umbrella we use, though I got mine at Sam's club for a little better of a price than this one. You can attach it to your canopy or just have it sort of floating between your car and canopy. (Here's my camp if that helps give a better idea)We get these fans in the camping section of walmart. They do take 8 D batteries each which seems like a lot lol, but I've never had to change batteries.

I have not gone VIP, no. I've never been in a long line to get into Centeroo once. Maybe I just pick good times, but I've never waited for than probably 5 minutes. If you just search VIP in this sub you will get tons of pro/con lists for VIP camping. If you have the money to do it, most people would say do it. I would definitely read from some people who have experience though, since I don't!

6" and 390cfm is a big fan/filter for 54cf is overkill. (I'm using a 4" fan and a cheap filter which is still overkill for two tents at 45cf) Are you sure you need it and, more importantly, that the tent has the proper sized ventilation holes?

Another thing I noticed is that you have 2 mars600. I use one in my 2x2x5 tent and it gives off a good bit of heat. On top of that it takes up nearly the entire width of my tent. I would highly recommend having just one per tent.

Also you need to add a small clip fan for the inside of the tent to circulate air. I recommend this one. It doesn't suck.
>>Avalon 6-Inch Clip-On Fan - Convertible Table-Top & Clip Fan, Fully Adjustable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012BKZC86/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_CVZBxb1FF1SVE

After that make sure you pick up some flexible ducting at whatever size you decide your fan and filter will be. Get some aluminum foil tape and duct clamps while you're at it so you don't use shitty duct tape that will fail you.

Re: crowds - you won't ever regret arriving in time for rope drop. You can get a whole lot done in the first few hours of the day when the crowds are lower. Then leave the park when it's getting busier and it's the heat of the day. Return to your hotel for a nap or swim, then return again later in the day.

Re: heat.

• Stay hydrated! You can get a free cup of ice water at any counter service restaurant. No need to pay for bottled water unless you can't stand the taste of Florida tap water.
  
  
• Wear a hat! No exceptions!
  
  
• They sell battery powered mister fans at the parks but a) they're expensive and b) they're big. I mooched one of these off my nephews. It's about the size of a deck of cards and does a good job of providing a cool breeze and then stores easily.
  
  
• Sunscreen! Apply liberally before you leave your hotel. Most people don't put on enough. Re-apply every couple of hours. Here is some more info on sunscreen.
  
  
• If you're overheating at the Magic Kingdom and need to cool off, head to the Hall of Air Conditioning Presidents or Carousel of Air Conditioning Progress.
  
  
• When it's crazy hot outside and I'm all sweaty, I find that when I go into somewhere with the AC blasting I will then freeze. I always take a thin light weight, long sleeved hoodie with me to put on when I'm suddenly too cold. I leave it tied around my waist when I'm outside.
  
  
• Go easy on the alcohol since it dehydrates you. I find I like getting lemonade instead of pop/soda. Use the heat as an excuse to get ice cream! The All American Sundae at the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor is my fave. I also never say no to a frozen Coke and cream cheese pretzel from the Lunching Pad.

> If changing to right handed or left handed only shoes actually improved your game

ABSOLUTELY!!!! If I could choose between the biggest+best arsenal in the universe and a blah pair of shoes, or a 3-ball arsenal and great shoes... I'm taking the great shoes every single time. If you don't have a good footing/platform then you're gonna be on the struggle bus no matter what.

As far as your thumb and hand getting sweaty... get a small portable fan and keep that in your bag. I carry one like this around with me in my backpack and it can make a HUGE difference. Thumb slugs also help a lot with providing a consistent feel/texture from ball to ball.

I have 3 battery powered fans. Out of all 3 I think this one is the best one. Its smaller but that makes it portable and it has a lot of power (more than the next two I have) and has rechargeable batteries which are a big plus!

This one is nice to have hanging from the ceiling in your tent and also has a nice light for at night but its not that powerful at all and takes 2 D batteries.

Lastly this is the one you can get from walmart or amazon. It takes the most batteries (6 D batteries) but has pretty good power if its close to you. It can be awkward to position in your tent for it to actually cool you off depending on your sleeping situation...

> i basically just need a light and thats it? if i want to grow autoflower only

oh boi... alright here we go.

youll need duct fans for both ventilation and heat dissipation, especially if you go with HPS/MH lights 600/1000watts will require reflectors with ducting so you can connect to it. This will need to exhaust out of your tent. Then you will need a intake fan coming preferably from outside. Youll most likely also need a Carbon filter attached in series to your exhaust fan. Your light will have a ballast as well, which creates a good amount of heat so plan for that to be located outside your tent. Youll also need smaller fans in the corners so you can keep a good air circulation going (hurricane fans are great). Also consider using T5 lights when starting your seeds off as your higher wattage lights are not good for seedlings. Also get a few supplies like gorilla tape and duct clamps and anything else you might need to secure everything together.

When it comes to growing, even if you are only doing autos youll need smart pots, fertilizer, promix HP, perlite plus both vegging and flowering nutrients. Have access to PH up and down solution, and also get a Ph Pen + PPM meter (TDS).

Ive only linked amazon, there are probably other local options for you.

One is this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TJCVQ15/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_OHiYDbPG3WA5V

The other is this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012BKZC86/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_EJiYDbYBWBJBQ

Also- You can’t see this in the picture, but I put one of these fans above the Meanwell driver, it blows air straight down to cool it:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009COQYA0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_H3iYDb1HEZ2NP

All the fans work pretty good. The oscillating one is really nice and has more power.

>I use a common 20 inch box fan with a MERV 11 to MERV 17 furnace filter taped to it.

Hey instead of a box fan do you think I could do the same thing to my tower fan instead?

I currently have This tower fan from Lasko.



I really don't want to have to use a box fan since they take up a lot of floor space which I'm lacking, and I don't like the aesthetic of them. Plus I already have this fan in my room. So have you ever tried using Merv furnace filter and taped it to it and noticed if it cleaned your room well enough?


What I really love about my current tower fan is that it uses very little wattage while pushing a lot of air and being very quiet all at the same time.

If it were me I would cut out a 4 inch hole in both the top and bottom shelf, then put a 4 inch greenhouse fan in the bottom shelf so that is pulling air in to the cabinet and pushing it up towards the top. Then I would cover the hole in the top shelf with some sort of air vent or other air permeable material. I would also leave the fan running 24/7. That would be an optimal solution.

Or you can stick one of these guys on the bottom shelf pointing up to circulate the air inside. It is still a decent solution!!

Good answer though, free is free.

My lab had 5 of these sitting around when I started working here: https://www.amazon.com/Hurricane-Clip-Fan-306-CFM/dp/B00IGFJFSY

Super handy, I bring them around back behind the racks whenever I need to do some wiring to stay a little cooler. Also nabbed one for my desk. They were a life-saver when we lost AC for 6 hours one day... recommend if you're looking for a fan or two to replace the USB ones.

Barring installing a fan, one of these might help:

https://www.amazon.com/O2COOL-FN02001-Deluxe-Necklace-Fan/dp/B00TQPO3C6/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=lanyard+fan&qid=1556060681&s=gateway&sr=8-2

There was someone selling these in the dealers den at TFF, and I bought one out of curiosity. All I can say is, holy crap, best $15 I ever spent. I was able to full suit MUCH longer than I normally am able to.

I just wore it around my neck and grabbed it, turned it on, and placed it directly in my suit's muzzle when I felt like I was getting a little warm or my lenses started fogging up (my suit has prescription lenses in it so I can see).

For such a cheap little device, it does a surprisingly good job of pushing a fair bit of air, and the fact you can just wear it on a lanyard like you probably will already have your badges on makes it perfect for fursuiting at conventions. Plus.. it fits inside the muzzle or under the neck fluff really easily for a quick cool burst of air.

It's not going to solve all your problems, but it might be something that'll help.

I was on Ellicott floor 7. The heat was sweltering some days. Here are some solutions I used:

• Find a friend in La Plata
  
• Spend a lot of time in the ERC/Diner/Outside
  
• The mini portable fans don't really work. Use one anyway for mental comfort.
  
• Big cups of ice from The Diner
  
• Cool down cold-packs in your floor's fridge
  
• Big, big box fan. We had one that looked like this https://www.amazon.com/Holmes-HBF2010A-WM-Metal-20-Inch-White/dp/B0037W4YD2
  
• Remember that people before you went through this and it sucked, but they survived. I very clearly remember how bad the first few weeks were.
  
  Some people get fancy and hook up water buckets in front of their fans and other things. I don't remember any of that made a difference, apart from having a really high volume fan. You know, one that sounds like a plane taking off at all times.

Oooh, I brought this one in 2014 and loveddddd it. Never had any difficulty sleeping due to the heat.

This is the first year I've been able to come back, and since I loved this fan so much, I bought this new tinier fan (https://www.target.com/p/treva-5-portable-volcano-fan-gray/-/A-54114406) to bring in to Centeroo for whenever I feel like lounging around on a blanket in the back. And because I'm a real psychopath who hates the heat, I bought this even TINIER fan (https://www.amazon.com/O2-Cool-Necklace-Fan-Assorted/dp/B00X8AQ8P0) to hang around my neck when I'm moving around. Here's hoping it doesn't suck up and rip out my hair lol

The top one worked wonders at edc last year... the bottom I’ve used on different heat related excursions where its ability to hold more water offset its slightly bulkier size (camping/hiking).

got a blue one for $6 at Dicks Sporting Goods

Edit: I can only vouch for these that have the ability to mist water as your body removes heat best by evaporation. Those that can not mist seem like they wouldn't be of too much help, unless you're sweating profusely (which is certainly plausible), since they would just be blowing the same 90 degree heat around.

VR Covers are pretty much #1 rated in terms of thier effectiveness. Mines arriving in a few hours actually :D. Due to the amount you perspire, I suggest you coming a VR cover with a headband. Also, what games are you playing that cause you to sweat so much? Are you a larger individual playing intense games? Or are you like how I was and had the damn thing strapped to my face like it was an an oxygen mask lol? Also, consider getting an oscillating fan.

Cheaper fan. A more quality fan.

Deluxe Necklace, Purple Personal Fan, Universal https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IIAFH52/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_mKrDDbT2RPB03

It worked great yesterday.

Also:

Hat
Wet bandana around the neck
Lots of water before, during, and after the game
Eat something salty

(PS. The tiger band sits in the sunniest corner of the stadium wearing t shirts, dark purple wool bibbers sorta like overalls, and thick wool jackets. I learned to handle that heat as a student in the band long before I had the neck fan as an alum.)

i just got this fan and it’s awesome. powerful so the room stays cold and i’m cozy under a blanket, and has pretty good white noise.

Most of my indoor growing has been in a cool garage under some old 24” T-12 fixtures with a combination of daylight and ‘grow spectrum’ tubes. A couple of years ago I wanted to try LED, so now I also have a small (10”x22”) flat of misc succulents and bulbs under a Fluence Bioengineering Ray22 in ‘PhysioSpec Indoor’ spectrum.

I mainly got the fan in order to cool the LED lamp, and I have it mounted at the end of the setup, directed downward at a low angle over the lamp. Even though it’s on ‘Low’ and doesn’t blow directly on the plants, the air movement completely changed indoor growing for me. I can water with impunity now, the tops of the plants dry off quickly, everything is healthier, and the plants tolerate a soil mix with more moisture-retention. At first I had some rooted cuttings in that flat with an all-mineral soil mix, and they required almost daily watering.

Edit; The fan is on the same timer as the lights. I can run the fluorescents as close to the plants as I want, some are under 3” away, the leaves of others grow up between the tubes. 6” seems to be good for the LED, any closer and I start to see a lot of reddish coloration.

So this is my humidifier setup for my fruiting tent. Despite the fan running 24x7 I apparently do not have enough FAE to grow well formed oysters. What's the best way to fix it?

Would something like this blowing out from the bottom suffice? If not, what should I try?

Thanks!

My park bag usually includes:

• This is the bag I use. It's lightweight, sturdy, stowable, and the perfect size. You can usually find it on sale on Eddie Bauer's website.
  
• An extra ziplock bag. (To keep stuff dry)
  
• This personal fan for those hot days.
  
• A buff.
  
• Portable chargers.
  
• A mini first aid kit.
  
• A small tube of sunscreen.
  
  Some unusual items I usually pack in my suitcase:
  
  
• A surge protector for the hotel room - charging my phone, watch, camera, etc. at the end of the day.
  
• This Chafing Relief Gel from Target is a lifesaver on my inner thighs.
  

I have two of these and I really like them a lot. I think I bought them 3 years ago and they stay on almsot all day every day and run great. Definitely recommend them.

So much this. I am essentially completely reliant on white noise to help me sleep now.

Some resources:

12 hour Youtube video of a black screen with the sound of a dozen fans running.

SimplyNoise, a very simple and easy to use white/brown/pink noise generator. Also has an app.

MyNoise, for those that really want to customize noise/sound scapes. Also has an app that you can use to take your custom sounds with you on the go.

Rain.Today, a natural rain sound generator. I can't listen to normal rain loops because my ear eventually pics up on the repetition and the anticipation of expected sounds causes me to listen actively. Defeats the purpose.

Just a good ol' box fan. Circulates the air and helps drown out those other, distracting noises.

I use this one, works great

Look for RV and boating equipment for 12v appliances. I have a cabin that is all solar. It runs two 100w panels and a little cheap charge controller that charges 4 cheap golf cart batteries. I have a 500w inverter on it for things I can't run any other way but I try not to even put load on that. I wired it up like it was a boat, with a boat bus bar in place and ran standard Romex to 12v LED stip lights via standard light switches. And then plugged in a large 12v changing station with 4 12v sockets like in a car and 4 USB ports. So I can run laptops and charge cellphones and the like. For fans I found battery powered camping fans that ran on D batteries strung together to 12v that had a DC plug on the side. I wired up a DC plug for them right off the batteries and they run on that. They are not ceiling fan but I have 3 so each person can have one on hot nights. I am in Southern VA, so not to far from you.

I'm lucky in that my head is very well ventilated, but the stuffiness of breathing in recycled air still gets me, so I understand what you mean. I know some fursuiters who wear a small battery-operated fan like this around their neck and stick it into their muzzle whenever they need a blast of cool air. Is it possible for you to hollow out the snout more and make space to install a fan? Other than that, I'm not really sure what else you could do.

It’s a touch of dorky but my family uses those O2Cool neck fans w/ rechargeable AA batteries. Each person then gets their own to use as they wish and they work pretty well.

I ordered a bunch of stuff for this year. I went a little amazon crazy.

I stubbed my toe on a tent stake last year so I ordered these glow in the dark tent stakes.

I figured this blow up couch would be a cool addition to our campsite.


I got one of these battery powered fans for my tent.


I ordered a few of these batter powered led lights in different colors for decoration.


I ordered like 4 of these portable fans for our camping group to clip onto their camel packs for the daytime heat.


I ordered this portable battery pack to keep my phone charged.


I ordered a 300 pack of glowsticks 100 for each day.

I ordered these light shooter things. They are fun to play with in the camping grounds.


I ordered one of these anti chafe sticks for my fat legs. It's truly a life saver.


Also I ordered The Watterpuff for obvious reasons.

OR Just buy a couple of these like I did, wear it like a necklace, don't scratch your lenses and cool even better!

most filters, you can clean and use multiple times. a thing i do when theres dust in the air (altho you probably have a ton more), is get one of those standard box fans (like the link below), and hang a damp/wet towel over the back of it. it acts as a pretty good filter, and the towel can be washed endlesly as needed. where do u live exactly?

https://www.amazon.com/Lasko-3733-20-Fan-Box/dp/B00002ND67/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1521529618&sr=8-6&keywords=box+fans

This is pretty much what my setup looks like, although with tons more devices and small switches scattered around the house xD. My primary switch is one of these, but they have a cheaper 8-port as well. Most of my gear is in a closet so I have a fan looming over it on low, keeping things cool. Also, putting it all on a UPS means that you can finish sendind that email (or wrapping up that online game) if the power goes out, very handy.

I do not have an Ubiquiti AP yet. From what I know they use PoE, but somehow I doubt they ship with no way to power them out of the box. I have heard they do not play very well with Apple products, in which case I would suggest an AirPort Express (or Time Capsule for that wonderful 24/7 backup) as an additional AP.

The EdgeRouter setup tutorials on the Wiki are designed for WAN on port 0, LAN on port 1, and WLAN on port 2, which would mean the AP would plug right into the router. I personally did not do this, I mixed the LAN and WAN and connected exactly as your picture shows. Let me know if you need any help setting it up.

Or just buy one of these and keep it on hand with a couple of extra batteries.

Maybe stick it around her neck. Sometimes simple is better. But hey, what do I know? Maybe I've never been anywhere where heat stroke is common in people who wear fancy outfits in summer heat.

Like a motorcycle event in the desert where people wear leather jackets and pants, for example.

To all people with this problem (myself included) splurge on [this] ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ATSHJ1Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?qid=1421547873&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&dpPl=1&dpID=51o4VHTvBmL&ref=plSrch) purchase.

While not not nearly as loud as the fan i have at home it's gotten me through plenty of nights in hotels. It sure beats the shit out of the desperate Youtube video of fan sounds on repeat...

95 degree ambient temp? That's fucking ridiculous. How do you even survive?

Just... watch your temps and stop playing games if they get to high. CPU shouldn't be over 85C, GPU can probably get up to 95C and still be safe since this is a short-term problem.

It's possible that putting a fan in an open window in your room and blowing air out could make your room cooler. It will pull air from other rooms and remove the hotter air that your PC is producing. But having the window open might just make your room hotter.

A fan like this: http://www.amazon.com/Lasko-3733-20-Fan-Box/dp/B00002ND67

is great for putting in a window.

The answer to a lot of these questions can be found on the official Carnival website with a very simple google search so I'm gonna let you or someone else do the work for you, but in regards to the fan, I went on Carnival in like 2015 and took an old version of this fan and it was fine.

Get some fans. 24" or so, like this: http://www.amazon.com/Patton-18-inch-High-Velocity-PUF1810B-BM/dp/B004WT6ZFO/ref=sr_1_2?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1411422603&sr=1-2&keywords=high+velocity+fan

If you sleep on the top floor:

• Open bedroom windows on top floor
  
• Open windows on the bottom floor
  
• Place fans on the bottom floor against the window screens, blowing inwards
  
  If you sleep on the bottom floor:
  
  
• Open windows on top floor
  
• Open bedroom windows on the bottom floor
  
• Place fans on the top floor against the window screens, blowing outwards
  
  The idea is to create a pressure differential in your house where the hot air up top is pushed out, and where the fans are away from where you sleep.
  
  I live in very similar situation and this works extremely well.

Clip or stand, your option.

There's also a 15$ that is just a clip on.

I have an MES30 and I use these two items (mainly when I am cold smoking with a mailbox mod to achieve good airflow into the smoker, but it does well for moving the smoke from under the roof):

https://www.homedepot.com/p/3-in-90-Round-Adjustable-Elbow-B90E3/100112500

https://www.amazon.com/Vornado-Flippi-Personal-Circulator-Black/dp/B004HI7950/

The fan's lowest setting is very slow, and works perfectly for moving the smoke away from under my patio roof, without pulling it out of the smoker too quickly.

There’s a ton of small desk fans on amazon you can choose from. I’d recommend just buying something not too expensive and you like the look of.

Here’s the fan I bought
https://www.amazon.com/OPOLAR-Speeds-Powered-Powerful-Office/dp/B01MR2SEAR

Don't buy a shitty plastic fan at the store.

Buy a legit shop fan like so:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004WT6ZFO/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1501530863&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=metal+fan&dpPl=1&dpID=61z0oDcB2PL&ref=plSrch

It's not overly expensive and they are powerful as fuck. I put one on my bed and sit it about 16." From my upper body and I actually wake up cold from it and have to use a blanket.

Combine that with a water spray bottle and you'll be fine.

Lol back when I had a Miata without A/C, I bought one of those battery powered hand fans with a water squirter and kept it handy when it got unbearable. It's worth a try.

https://www.amazon.com/O2COOL-Carabiner-Keychain-Attachable-Pocket-Sized/dp/B00TQPO3DU/ref=pd_sim_201_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00TQPO3DU&pd_rd_r=H687HGMHGT126XDPMYED&pd_rd_w=zll5r&pd_rd_wg=DQGSR&psc=1&refRID=H687HGMHGT126XDPMYED&dpID=41dFhzh-aSL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=detail

Overnight in the desert the temps can drop dramatically, like a 40-50 degree swing. When I lived in Tucson for a few years the summer nights were mid 70s. Depending on where you are going I would check the average highs and lows. I think you'll be fine temp wise overnight if you set up a battery powered fan or two top promote air movement. During the day however.... that's a different story.

I am extremely sensitive to noise. I also work from home, and I'm a severe insomniac as well. I swear by this fan, I run it day and night. My last one lasted many years, and I've just replaced it with the same model a few months ago.

http://www.amazon.com/Lasko-3733-20-Fan-Box/dp/B00002ND67

Since your situation is extremely noisy, more so than mine, it probably won't drown it out completely. You might consider combining with a white noise machine like this, which is also very good:

http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/homedics-reg-deep-sleep-i-bedside-portable-sound-machine/1041703953

Stay away from this product. The noise it generates is a nice quality, but the volume is very low so I find it unhelpful:

http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/marpac-dohm-original-sound-conditioner-trade/3263995

And then you could always add in ear plugs. For me they're uncomfortable, but when I lived in an apartment with a heavy footed large man that didn't seem to have the ability to sit still and a set of kids that ran around like fools, desperate times called for desperate measures.

And perhaps another conversation with the neighbor is in order.

Best of luck to you. You have my utmost sympathy.

Hope this helps.

Super cheap and works amazing

I don't know that the solar panel would be worth the weight vs output. If I was going to tackle something like this. I would buy one of these:

Then disassemble it and figure out how to Install it into the hat. Or mount it right on top of the hat and duct the fan output down into the hat crown. reviews show it could last "all day" on a pair of AA batteries. I would look at getting your Dad 4 rechargeable AA Ni-Mh batteries and a charger so he has spares for long days in the yard.

Re: personal fan
I love these necklace style ones, yes you look like a dork but you’ll be a comfortable dork. https://www.amazon.com/O2-Cool-Necklace-Fan-Assorted/dp/B00X8AQ8P0

I've fought PM a lot over the last year.

At first I tried cutting out the worst leaves & spraying with milk. It helped for a day or two but it gave my tent a sour milk smell and the PM was back in a couple days. I would not recommend it.

Then I bought a 70pt dehumidifier. It lowered my RH from about 55% to 35%. This helped the spread a little, but it was still pretty bad.

I then started spraying Nuke 'Em. It didn't completely eliminate it, but it became very controllable. It took ~2 weeks between sprays before I would start seeing it again.

Initially I had 3 small fans providing air circulation in the tent. It seemed like enough at the time, but after adding one of these for the canopy, and one of these for below I've been able to reduce my spray frequency to ~3 weeks and I could probably go even longer between.

I know it's a combination of all of the above, but Nuke 'Em and increased airflow seemed to have the most impact. If there aren't any leaves worse than what's shown in the first photo, and you get some Nuke Em on them in the next day or two, I think you can avoid cutting too many fan leaves. Also, if the fan in photo 4 is all you have going in there, I would add quite a bit more. Here is what my tent looks like currently.

Get a small fan to shove in your muzzle from time to time. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TQPO3C6 works great. Has a lanyard built-in, so you can hang badges from it too.

get one of these, you’ll be happy when you’re overheating!

Had to mcguyver the mount a bit (using zipties) but they're excellent.

There's a good chance you are going to lose power, and it's late August/September, so it'll be hot as hell.

You don't want real candles. Candles = heat.

Get some battery operated candles, you find them in home furnishings sections. They are pillars that have a timer, 6 hrs on, 18 hours off. Even better, find LED lanterns like these: https://www.amazon.com/Vont-Hurricane-Emergency-Collapsible-Batteries/dp/B00NPLSZF8

The other thing you'll desperately need is a battery operated fan, like this: https://www.amazon.com/O2COOL-10-Inch-Portable-Desktop-Circulation/dp/B013BOC6VC/

Finally, get a cooler and fill it with ice. Get a good one that will keep ice for a couple of days.

Sheets or tapestries and clamps like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CPSJCB8/ to clip the sheets onto each side of your canopy for privacy. Make sure the clamps are big enough to fit onto your canopy legs!

That is the one I have. I don't have it pointed on the meat, and it is on low 24/7 and my chamber has been great since. So I'd say your fan would probably not be overkill (from my experience)

We have these: https://www.amazon.com/O2COOL-FN02001-Deluxe-Necklace-Purple/dp/B00IIAFH52/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1526240898&sr=8-8&keywords=personal+battery+operated+fan

Great for sporting events, extra circular activities, etc.

We were there the last week of August and the heat and humidity, especially with the hurricane coming in, was pretty brutal.

For the kids we got these small water spray bottles which were way cheaper than the bottles in the park and much smaller. I clipped them to a cheap carabiner on the stroller and they worked well. I had extra batteries and didn't need them. We got an extra and used it since my daughter decided to throw hers 'for fun' and broke it.

We rented a stroller and it helped a lot to prevent the kids from getting exhausted.

At one point my daughter was about to have a meltdown and I took her to the baby area. even though she is four they didn't have any issue letting her sit and watch the show playing on the TV and just cool off / calm down.

What is your fan setup for cooling the print as it is printing?

I found I had a lot of problems without having a fan blowing on the print as it's printing. I'm currently printing Hatchbox PLA and Makerbot PLA at 195-200c, 60c bed at 20-30mm/s and don't have any more curling issues since I put a full size blower fan in front of my printer. I also use painters tape and alcohol for bed adhesion.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000RL3UJA/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1504721952&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=tower+fan&dpPl=1&dpID=31nkUhBj7fL&ref=plSrch

This is the fan I have setup in front of my printer. I start it once I've got the first layer down.

Without a generator your only option is battery power. A small fan like this one should run for around 40-50 hours on a fully charged car battery.

Reviews on this fan claim it can run up to two nights on six D-cell batteries.

You're welcome

Yes totally bring it, you will more than likely buy Box Fans to help with air flow if your in a dorm without AC. Probably my biggest mistake was buying a expensive laptop when what I should've done was buy a decent small laptop and spend the main amount of money on an actual PC.

I just ordered:
a small battery powered fan to put next to my bed.
Some battery powered LED sting lights for inside the tent.
A hanging closet organizer to hang in the tent to keep all my small bins and whatnot organized and easily accessible.

Not requesting one for myself, just pointing out how useful they are. Prime eligible as well.

It's a little $15 Amazon fan: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HI7950/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Putting these in the vents might help.

It's $20 bucks there. batteries will run you another $15, but it will run for about 65 hours on one set. YOu can find it in the camping section.

Couple of them. one blowing air out and one pulling fresh air from outside in.

I use this hurricane in my 1.6x3 ft tent: https://amzn.to/2Goxhlk and I have a couple of these https://amzn.to/2D8cPBR in my 4x4 with another tower fan.

I use this one but it only gets to around 90 Fahrenheit so this one is fine https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MR2SEAR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_iQ60Cb1D66JX1

Fairly loud but moves a lot of air.

12th day after switching to 12/12.
It vegged for approx 60 days, and was showing signs of pre-flowering.

Edit: sorry I forgot to give info on the fans. I have two in this tent. They are Hurricanes ordered from Amazon.

What about a smaller (maybe 2 of them) clip fans?

It's non-trivial to the point of requiring physical modification of the unit and several additional components.

I suggest either getting a battery bank that already has an inverter or get a fan that connects to USB. Heck, there are fans with batteries that charge from USB.

These items were life savers

I've always used one of these little battery powered fans in my van. They don't use much power and move quite a bit of air. Add on the plug adapter and you should be all set.

This is cheap and works! Hang it around your neck and it blows air directly up.

This.

I picked this up for my second zwift setup. It's inexpensive and moves a lot of air. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0113DA8J0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I just ordered this with high expectations https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IGFJFSY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The fan I have is the Lasko Windcurve... though mine is all black with black buttons. I couldn't find a way to use zip ties (though I have a lot running around the house) because the power button is located at the top of the tower and also has a depression in the button that meant I needed something to fill the depression to push down the power button. The gorilla tape means black on black, so I can't see it from across the room. It's not a perfect solution, but will do until someone releases a <$100 homekit-enabled tower fan.

You didn't mention the full measurements of the window but...Here

Bigger

I'm trying very hard not to judge the fact that you are vaping in a home with a child.

These are cheap and last about 18 months running 24/7 on low speed. My network closet is on its fourth.

Problem solved!

Here is what I used. 2 wire shelves. 1 shelf holds 4x 8 card rigs (last rig sits in the front 'exhaust' area on top of a normal PC box). 1 shelf holds the fans that blow on the rigs. Air is blown over the rigs and to the front of the tent, and exhaust fans placed in that area for exhaust.

Hope that helps.

Fanning is just a pain in the ass and when you're opening the container and drastically disturbing the air you're also going to tank your humidity levels which will more negatively impact fruiting. Same goes for removing polyfill I'd wager, in addition to allowing contaminants through since the polyfill filters them.

If you get fuzzy feet and you think you have enough holes in your container, putting a fan in the room would probably be the safest step. I have one of these running at full blast in front of my window which usually has a slight breeze coming in. It faces the same general direction as my tubs and the airflow is just enough that I can see individual polyfill fibres lightly blowing in it. With that, they've got consistent humidity levels and no fuzzy feet.
