4) So here i am, asking for help. This is not the first community i have reached out to (Imgur is a tough crowd to get support from) so i have little expectation of progress, but i think about it too much and i will keep trying to find support every year or so until something happens. Thank you for reading and please feel free to make any type of comment, question, suggestion, addition, or reproof. To reiterate, should this take off, i want to make sure that at the end of the day it is a net zero venture in terms of money (i am a historian and filmmaker, not an entrepreneur). May you have clean air and a cleaner conscience.

Have you spoken with any charities about this? Frankly it sounds like your problem of identifying how to distribute it and who to is much harder than the manufacturing problem, and they will of course have ideas on the funding side too. One problem I can envisage is that the electricity costs of running a box fan are potentially high, reducing the likelihood of a lot of the people that would benefit from having a $30 device donated to them from actually using it. The other question would be how your device compares in effectiveness (amount of air filtered and types of particles removed) with other inexpensive air filters. Does it actually pick up the PM2.5 particles people have most reason to be concerned about?
