  • Well the rate of airflow through the fan is at its maximum when there are no filters attached to it. Each filter likely slows down airflow if hooked up in a "series" pattern, but you're right that having these four in "parallel" will increase flow compared to one strapped directly to it. I'm sure there's a problem with reducing the airflow too much, because the fans motor would start to burn, and I'd guess that hoisting the fan up in the air rather than standing upright on the ground would improve airflow.

    That being said, I'd need to do it myself and see what strapping a single filter to a fan does. I have hunch it wouldn't burn out the motor, and I imagine it'd still be effective. If the rate of airflow isn't severely reduced with a single filter, that'd just mean the same amount of air is being forced through a filter in either case (1 vs 4 filters).

    Of course the single filter would wear out four times as fast so it probably won't make a difference in how many you buy in the long run. I'm just sort of rambling at this point but it's a neat concept to think about.

  • Oh. A CEO of a filter company. I sort of wondered why I couldn't just tape a single filter to a fan, why it required four of them. Maybe it has something to do with air flow limitations, or maybe it has something to do with the guy making a profit on every filter sold lol

  • Here's an example: in the us, international students are now required to have public social media accounts before they're allowed in. Unclear what happens if they don't have any accounts at all, but they're not allowed to have private social media accounts anymore.

    Edit: wait I just woke up, this thread was about morality. My bad.

  • Well yes, generally that's how jargon is developed. Typically people who don't contribute to the knowledge base of a field don't have any say in how that field uses language.

  • I see it as the exact opposite. If we let the professionals like cartographers and historians hold the reigns rather than people who don't have anything to do with it, eg. some pedophile politicians, nothing would have been changed.
