silencing & cooling with closed system
Newbie here,
I admire anyone with the practical qualities to make a DIY projector. I'm more a theoretician as the following may show.
Has anyone considered outputting the projector hot air to something like a turbocharger intercooler then recirculating the cooler air back into the projector?
I would imagine much of the air and fan noise would be contained within the system.
A restricting dust-filter would also not be needed.
I have got an improvement by installing a "chimney" to direct the hot air/noise upward and a "hush-box" arrangement, but I always want more!

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Sorry people, but I cannot see a connection between my sealed and recirculating cooling and silencing system idea and the photos.
Am I missing the point. If my idea is no good, then I welcome criticism.

The body of vent is metal or plastic ?
If plastic, then is to close on bulb.
Sory for me english.

A sealed system wouldn't work.
The heat from, let's say your 400W lamp, needs to get somewhere, u can't just cool it away.
The "turbocharger intercooler" cools the air but itself will get hot in the process.
Unless someone invented an *energy-destroyer* 😀
