Yet another cheap muffler

H

hisser

Greetings!

Here's a simple exhaust muffler that didn't cost me a thing, added to a noisy 120mm AC powered exhaust fan.

What's used:

A pot (pot too is required :smokeit:)
Plastic water bottle (you can use a metallic mesh too)
Duct Tape
Soldering tool
A knife
A pillow




How it was done:

1- Un-stuff the pillow enough to fill the gap between the bottle and the pot.

2- Cut the bottom of the pot using a knife to fit the exhaust fan.



3- cut the top & the bottom of the bottle.

4- Use the heated soldering tool to make holes in the bottle



5- Attach the bottle to the fan by using duct tape



6- Insert the pot (make sure there's no air leaking, I used Silicone to cover the gaps)



7- Stuff the empty area well enough with the pillow stuffing.



8- Use duct tape to cover it.



Enjoy the noise reduction! 8]

Neat! How much reduction? 1/4? 1/2? Just asking for a guesstimation.
