@Tsnor, what a great post! As you spotted, this is just for fun, but it is actually working quite well. I can definitely notice an improvement in the air quality while rowing, and as @jamesg said, it should keep the fan clean. I think it's weakness, as an air purifier, will always be that it is only...

So far so good... * The filter stayed in place while rowing * There was a good flow of air... * ...which was very clean! The drag factor is a bit lower than I would like (97). To increase that, I'd have to make the air inlet larger, and I'm not (yet) ready to cut the Concept2. I'll try it for a mont...

Aaaand... I've finally figured out how to post images...

Filter Frame:

Proof Of Concept [Filter Frame][https://notyou.co.uk/images/concept2/FilterFrame.jpg] A bit of cardboard engineering, and we have a filter frame. [Proof Of Concept][https://notyou.co.uk/images/concept2/ProofOfConcept.jpg] For the Proof Of Concept, I'll just strap it on for now... no changes to the ...

The idea of a HEPA filter is that it can filter out (tiny) particles, _without_ greatly restricting the flow of air. I'm hoping that I can keep the Concept2 on my current drag factor of 130, by adjusting the inlet lever. (Just as I do when I attach the C Breeze in Summer, to direct a cooling airflow...

Clean air is good, and the Concept2 rower incorporates a fan.
Could the rowing action be used to clean the room's air, by putting a HEPA filter (captures pollen, dirt, dust) over the air inlet?

PM5, iOS, Swift. I develop apps for iOS (using Swift), so I'm interested to think about the kind of app that can use the PM5's bluetooth link. The first stage seems to be to develop a reliable bluetooth protocol, based on Concept2's specification document here: http://www.concept2.com/files/pdf/us/...

For PM5 and iOS, I'd suggest leaving the SDK to one side for now, and starting with a standard Bluetooth app . PM5 and iOS can communicate using Bluetooth 4.0 (also called "Bluetooth LE" and "Bluetooth Smart"). The Concept2 Bluetooth specification is on their website here: http://www.concept2.com/fi...
