🌬️ Friday’s Finds | Clean Air, Garden Power & Smart Outdoor Tech!

Welcome to Dude RV. Hey I appreciate you stopping by and of course now you got to say it with me you know it's coming you got here just in time that's right just in time because it's Friday and it's time for another edition of Friday's Fines. I think this is the first Friday's Fines I've opened first one in a long time that I've opened here at mom's brought the stuff with me this is my week on next week where I'm off anyway we don't need to go down that rabbit hole I have I have a total of five products for this edition of Friday's Fines that I get to unbox four of them there'll be some assembly required I gotta have to figure out how to use them meanwhile we have a returning sponsor I want to give a I want to give a special shout out of thanks to Airlock for sponsoring this edition of Friday's Fines so about a year ago we were living full-time in Trudy Thunder two adults two little dogs uh and we yeah it was it was an interesting time when when we were full-time in the RV and one thing that we we really came to understand is the level of dust and dander that two people and two little dogs can generate in that small of a space and thanks to the Airlock technology we don't have any funky odors we don't have a whole lot of dust I don't have to mess I don't have to clean the air filters very often so anyway uh let's let's go see some of I did a it was a pop-up edition of Friday's Fines so I'm going to condense that down a little bit to the important stuff let you see the unbox and you know I'll mix it up meanwhile let's open a box we got boxes to open uh I live full-time in a 34 foot super c thor motor coach thor magnitude we have two air conditioners I've gone in and I've reworked the plenum I've made them way more energy efficient they cool better and they actually clean the air better now this filter is about two weeks old maybe two weeks and we live with two dogs two rat terriers uh we're building a burndo living out in the country and there's just dust everywhere having cleaner air ions negative ion so when you go to like Niagara Falls and you and you get that kind of euphoric feeling it's because when the water's going over the falls it's it's being separated and lots of negative ions are being generated when you go to the beach same thing the waves are causing negative ions to be released from the water pine trees do the same thing as the air flows across the tip of the needle the pine needle it generates a small negative ion charge what that does is in in our environment inside if you inject a bunch of negative ions into the atmosphere they're they're a free agent and they're looking for some something to bind to opposites attract so it's looking for a positive charge particle and majority of the time small particulates that are suspended in the atmosphere tend to have a positive charge so you inject a bunch of negative ions in there and that binds and causes these micro particles to start clumping together and getting larger and eventually you can capture those sub microscopic particles that are just floating through the air so let's take a look at what airlock has some of you can say there's actually two of them because we have two units two air conditioning units one in front one in back is it's really quite simple steel bar we have this device we're gonna connect that to the fan circuit so that when the ac unit kicks on it energizes this little box and that is where our ionic discharge occurs ah so we have two two bars two metal bars to stick this to so i'm gonna pop the covers off of ac units and figure out where to put it in mine and uh if you've if you've not seen the video that i did on the reworking of that plenum i encourage you to go research and go watch that video because it was like adding a third air conditioner it made it work so much better but let me pop the covers off and i gotta go we're moving right along this is the exhaust fan what do we know about the exhaust fan it's called a bathroom exhaust polka home bad camera ventilator wind speed control 100 millimeter micrometer millimeter wind speed control with remote control we got some important notice here it's a four to six inch ventilation fan toilet exhaust fan when the fan is rotating do not put your finger in there all right so let me let me do some reading on this and i'll figure out i'll find a way to bend it i'll find a way to show it off so it says right here wind speed control with remote control i don't even have a switch there's no switch so the plug will have to serve as the switch ocuview this is the ocuview 4g lte pan tilt security camera all right 4g means cellular i'll check it out we got templates we got cool stickers and this comes to us from ue tech you you you yay ue ue tech your cell panels cables to connect okay so let me get this all set up and activated i'm not out at the property where i can capture some wildlife but i can definitely capture there has been something living in the backyard i'm concerned that it may be a skunk don't know but i'm gonna set up the cameras and we're gonna find out we're gonna get two different angles so we'll be able to see the camera yeah that'll work yeah we're gonna do it like that so i'm gonna do it like that let me let me go do it like that and and you'll see it like that i'll be back and i want to give a special shout out of thanks to garvey again garvey have stepped up they wanted to be a part of this episode of friday's finds i'm not exactly sure what they've sent us this time so i'm gonna surgically i'm gonna surgically open this box and see if we can find at least a picture so let me find my knife and go to cutting knife plenty sharp all right it's heavy it's very heavy got to be something made out of metal in here apparently it's green how about that it is green i know what that is that is a planter box yeah there we go it's a garden bed some assembly required why do why do i do this to myself okay and it looks like it includes the tools and hardware necessary oh and they want you to have the white glove treatments they don't fit they would fit my children maybe okay let me go to put it together which is not quite a bit of air and it's pretty quiet too yeah the only thing i'm not a fan of is there's no inline switch of course i have a i have one of those at home cord with a switch on it anytime you need to move some air though that gets the job done especially for the money you can't beat it i like it and i know you will too especially if you got a farty place you got to clear out i'll be putting the airlock system somewhere right here on the intake side and inside this little label it shows that our fan control you know the low speed is red so we need to go find that red wire and a neutral a white although on the unit wait a minute let's go up on the roof i've determined that the best location is going to be and while i had this open i went ahead and cleaned all the dust off of this because it was really bad but i'm going to put that unit right there right there like that in the middle of the air stream and then we are connected to the neutral and the red fan wire so that wire goes to that fan okay now we're going to turn on low speed we have a blue light we are working i just gotta button it all back up recording on two different cameras this camera this camera really clear picture i can hear really clear through the house so the app gives us the ability to control where you're looking with on the camera so there's a little bit of a delay if you have an sd card you can record directly to the phone or you can activate the cellular function and you can upload that to the crowd to to the cloud you can also talk through it if you need to communicate hello that is a lot of garden space yep he's got her work cut out for her of course i gotta get it home yeah i should have thought that should have thought about that before i put it together here now i gotta take it all the way back all right we are moving
