This do-it-yourself air duct cleaning tool is much more gentle than the other equipment I've made so far, and can clean the fragile flex duct without damaging it. By simply cutting the whip tube to a length a little longer than the width of a particular duct, the custom made air whip can be optimized for that size of ducting. It works well for removing dust and debris from air vents when used with a HVAC negative air machine which is designed for duct cleaning. A link to a video showing how a DIY negative air machine/duct vacuum was made is listed below, along with links for how to make some different air whips for duct cleaning. Most of the items in this video were purchased from a local hardware store, but I included links for online buying options. I receive a commission from some of the links in the description.

Adding wire brush tips to what was already a very effective air duct cleaning tool, ended up significantly improving it's ability to remove stuck-on dirt, debris, and mold from the air vents. It will be used with a do-it-yourself HVAC negative air machine designed for duct cleaning, just like my other air duct whips. A link to a video showing how a DIY negative air machine/duct vacuum was made is listed below, along with links for how to make some different air whips for duct cleaning. A stiffer, more supportive "skipper hose" may be needed for pushing the air whip through the ductwork because shop air hoses can be too flexible, and just curl up inside the ducting.

Of all DIY air duct cleaning tools I've made so far, I think this one is probably the most fun for me to use. It works well for removing dust and debris from air vents when used with a HVAC negative air machine which is designed for duct cleaning. A link to a video showing how a DIY negative air machine/duct vacuum was made is listed below, along with links for how to make some different air whips for duct cleaning. A stiffer, more supportive "skipper hose" may be needed for pushing the air whip through the ductwork because shop air hoses can be too flexible, and just curl up inside the ducting. A video about how I made a skipper hose/duct snake hose for the air whips is listed below. Most of the items in this video were purchased from a local hardware store, but I included links for online buying options. I receive a commission from some of the links in the description.

The relatively large whip tube diameter allows for a longer overall length, when compared to some of my other DIY air duct cleaning tools, which then provides a longer reach for the whip so it can clean larger ductwork than the whips I previously made with the smaller diameter tubing. Smaller tubing restricts air flow more and limits the air whips performance at these longer lengths. Dust and debris can be swept out of ductwork using this tool along with a HVAC negative air machine designed for duct cleaning. A link to a video showing how a DIY negative air machine/duct vacuum was made is listed below, along with links for how to make some different air whips for duct cleaning. A stiffer, more supportive "skipper hose" may be needed for pushing the air whip through the ductwork because shop air hoses can be too flexible, and just curl up inside the ducting.

In this video, I'll do a walkaround of a DIY ultralight aircraft that doesn't require any kind of license to operate. Flight instruction would be needed, and there are safety regulations that must be followed. But this is the simplest and cheapest aircraft to own and maintain that I have ever seen.

The filter material was purchased locally from a hardware store and is commonly available. It doesn't look great, in my opinion, but it works for cleaning the air entering the dehumidifier and does a good job of keeping the coils clean. Just need to change it when it gets too dirty to allow proper air flow through the unit. I believe the dehumidifier could possible overheat if the pre-filter material gets clogged with enough dust. So I make sure to change it regularly or when needed. I can no longer find the filter material used in the video, but I included a link to another filter material below.

I made about a gallon of biochar in around 25 minutes using this method. The charcoal needs to be inoculated with microbes and charged with nutrients before incorporating it into soil. Gardens, lawns, trees, and shrubs all benefits from adding carbon to the soil. Applying biochar helps insure that some carbon will remain in the soil for many years. Below are links to some other videos about biochar, as well as links to items I use when gardening with biochar. I receive a commission from some of the links in the description.

This do-it-yourself duct cleaning tool will be made using galvanized steel cable as the bristles and a drill powered dryer vent cleaning kit for the rest. It's fairly aggressive, so I'll only use it in steel ductwork where there is a hard to clean spot. It can help clean stuck-on dirt, crud, mold, and corrosion from inside metal HVAC ductwork. A brush guide may be used in rectangle ducts to position the brush where it's needed, side to side. I show how I made a simple guide for it during this video. The brush is used with a negative air machine designed for air vent cleaning. A link to a video showing how a DIY negative air machine/duct vacuum was made is listed below, along with links for how I made some different brushes as well as other DIY air duct cleaning tools.
