Miner Setup Pics.

I like the red bird on the flag banner in that one picture. Querious what that flag/banner is on or attached to. 8)

I put an X big enough for the fans to fit through...used 2 rubber bands to seal off the tarp to the fan housing and then a 3rd one to roll the points down and put a single square around the outside of the fan to seal it and recess it a bit to make the exit tarp look pretty.

Anytime I need to clean, adjust or swap boards...3 rubber bands and it slides back out so it can be worked on.

And a bag of rubber bands...$1 should last me a year...or 3.

I think the tarp idea is awesome, especially if you can get the hot air out on the other side.

It is the Viking battle flag. I just have it hanging on screws on the wall. My ancestors were from the norse countries.

Very cool, I do some S.C.A. re-enactments so I was wondering when I saw it.


-I'd rather be viking.

Appleminer, can you provide a pic or description about how you handle the hot air on the exhaust side of your miner racks? Thanks!

Used another large tarp, cut it, and staple gunned it up around the top of the rafters for the floorboards upstairs.
Sealed off the hot air from making it back over to the cold side. Used some salt bags to keep the curtains overlapped and closed, but still allow easy access. I may put a doorframe in and seal the plastic up tighter and just walk in via the door to change stuff, but for now....curtain and salt bags for the tarps. Middle picture can see the temp controlled fan I mounted in the middle for exhaust that leads up and out the old coal seller shoot I screened off the outside exit of the shoot and downturned it to keep the water out.

Left side pic, shows the top mounted fan, and the left side louver.

right side pic shows right louver and air conditioning exhaust tube.

The rest of the room is pretty big, but the side I used for hot air capture is only 10 foot deep by the width of the room.
As long as I can keep the air going in cool, the fans do not turn all that much to create all that much hot air that needs to be pulled off.

Intake side with iPOWER 1000 CFM fans. Had to put screens over (secured with industrial velcro) to keep clothing or worse from getting sucked up. Works fine to drastically reduce the noise overall, but the BEST solution is to always leave the miners out in the open air. This was a setup I had to develop so that people in the house could live in peace.
