A group has come up with an alternative design, with a far higher flow rate, and similar in concept to US-based box-fan + furnace-filter designs (materials for which are not readily available in Australia), with workshops in Canberra, described here:

Materials for DIY Air Purifiers are:

- Floor Fan of any variety (BYO or we will be providing options for large and small fans)

- PM2.5-suitable Air filter (we will be bulk ordering the best type of Ryco MicroShield Cabin Filters for this purpose)

- Carboard & tape (we will provide these materials)

Efficiency of the US-based version seems to be quite good:
