Enjoying your content man! Couple of suggestions for your shelter ventilation :) Try turning the fan around so its sucking clean air into the shelter instead of blowing dirty air out of it. A 4 inch fan for that size area is fairly underpowered, for optimal air circulation you would probably be looking at a 8 - 10 inch (thats what she said) fan. Are you planning to use the other vent as well? That way you could have one fan sucking clean air in and another blowing dirty air out. Would advise using a larger fan to suck air in and a slightly smaller one to blow air out. Keep up the awesome work guys!

I have to admit for a channel I found by accident I am throughly enjoying every video. I live i northern AZ and am lucky to have much cooler summers but you get much warmer winters. My only suggestion would be an evaporative cooler. Uses less power and just some water if you can work out air flow.

Also could try running a 1/2” pipe with misting sprayers around the ceiling, misting down onto the walls. Run on a digital tap timer on for a minute, off for 10+. You will see a massive drop in the wall temperature. Don’t leave running constantly as may cause corrosion.
Oh boy what could be done in a hidden shelter with steady temp and humidity? Mr Herb 😎 Also liked the nudge at Ashens and his sofa.

To reduce the heat… paint the sliding entrance door silver or white. And put a covered parking or storage over the shelter to eliminate gathering heat, and while your at it… put a solar array on that roof and subsidies your power usage

Great job, now as you are getting closer... You need a few things. 1) an insect, spider & snake proof cover for the vent pipe outside (and another for inside too). Probably an extension of a couple of feet too. 2) don't forget to make it rain and snow proof too! Most modern shelters use a curved pipe to prevent rain & snow intrusion. Note here too; I don't know if you live in an area that gets any flooding, but take that into account also. 3) you should really get a carbon monoxide detector! By the way even burning candles down there is a bad idea! As the candles or other burning occurs, it lowers the oxygen level!!! Come to think of it, there really should be another pipe like that, probably on the opposite side of the shelter that was used as an air intake or exhaust; whichever way the had it going. One way in, the other out. If you have any plans for using/restoring this as a true fallout shelter, you'll need a proper intake air pump (electric and manual) and multi-stage air filtration unit to keep out radioactive particles. By the way too, that big pipe would also make a nice passage for low voltage wiring for an outdoor weather probe and video camera lines. You are correct, that IS a whole bunch of thermal mass! When you set up your AC unit set it around 70 degrees (or whatever you are comfortable at) and not too much lower, otherwise you'll freeze you butts off... Not that the Mrs. has any to spare... Uh, sorry guy, but hey it's your fault for you keep showing it off. As she pointed out... Please keep off of the furniture! Especially the structurally questionable termite eaten furniture! Trust me, it may only seem like 18 inches, but concrete floors make it seem more like falling 18 feet! Ouch! 🤕 Visually run out you electrical box lines and find which one goes thru the wall to the outside; probably also near that vent pipe. By the way, poop flows downhill, unless that thing has a macerator & pump. I mentioned that in a previous comment. Let's hope the sewer line isn't full of rocks!

You are right there should be an outlet and it should be close to the floor to take the carbon dioxide out (carbon dioxide tends to accumulate around the floor). A Swiss air filter on the intake would be a good idea
We could use that hot air here in the uk currently it's freezing lol . Great to see another video on the shelter.
👍☑ another in a series of creative and funny videos, tks Herb and Mrs Herb for making my day!
Let’s rattle can some reflective silver Rust-Oleum paint on that sliding steel cover. If it doesn’t help it will at least look cool. My thinking is that maybe the entrance space is being a solar oven and heating up the thermal mass. That’s my story (as I commented before) and I’m stickin’ to it!!!
Great to see another update on the bomb shelter! Looking forward to more! :D
I had a project where I needed to put in a pair air vents in a building one was an input vent and the other one was an output vent. To keep creepy Crawlies out of the vents I used 4.5" Stainless Steel Mesh Sink Strainer between the pipe and a coupler, I used PVC pipe couplers.

Definitely agree. Shelter needs 2 air vents. Should invest in one of those swiss air intake systems with carbon filter that will let you do hand crank if there's no power, and has blast valves. Gotta get that air flowing in there.
@18:50 OMG! A push me pull you! LOL! 😂😂😂
You guys are hilarious! Comedy aside I am completely gobsmacked at how hot it is down there. I would have thought the opposite. I figured it would be cool underground. So all of these bunkers people build must be pretty unlivable without AC and good ventilation systems. Learned something today.
Might check into getting you a swiss NBC air filtration system. You can have it where it will just blow and not filter. Has a electric fan and a manual crank if need be. The fan puts out a massive about of air and it's quiet.

You need a u pipe to stop rocks from filling it again. And a mesh to stop critters from going down there.
Wonder if it would help to eliminate the flexable hose attach the fan straight to the pipe.
Another gem of a video, Herb. A little disappointed that you missed such a a good 'Spaceballs' reference, "She's gone from suck to blow". It's alright though, I'm definitely still sticking around to find out where the poop go.
Well at least you got the air vent cleaned out.After, the temperature inside the bomb shelter.Starts to drop, I would recommend setting up an NBC (Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical) filter.Directly onto the air vent.That way you guys.Get clean,healthy, fresh air.Into your bomb shelter.

See, I have always wanted to design an underground "shelter" for all my radio equipment. And was thinking about some kind of passive heating and cooling for it. Like the passive solar heating kits you can make to circulate air though a window. Zero electricity required, uses convection to circulate the air. They work awesome for heat, but something for cooling, possibly evaporative or other would be awesome. Of course, humidity would be a huge concern of mine around sensitive electronics. Idk. Just a thought.

Consider a parking shade solar panel structure above the shelter to prevent heat buildup?

Great idea to use that endoscope.
You need 2 In sheet foam from Lowes or home depot 4x8 sheets cut and use line ceiling and use spray foam to fill any gaps and aluminum duct tape
Shorten up the vent hose and put the fan closer to the pipe, if not connected directly. I'm sure you will extend the outside stand pipe to hopefully more than six feet above the surface, and put a rain cap on it. Where is the outside air coming in? Use the endoscope to check out the smaller pipes/conduits. Thanks for the video. Jon

Another few suggestions, I recommend getting some spray foam for the door frame, that's if you aren't going to replace the frame and door. Not sure if state code requires a insulated fire door for shelters. Lastly, not sure if humidity and moisture is much of a problem in Phoenix but having a dehumidifier or something to capture moisture, may be a food idea to reduce mold
Reverse the fan, blow the cooler air from out side to inside, positive ventilation it will cool it faster.
ashens would be so proud
Move the fan away from the door so the fan isn't pulling in the air from the door. It may help cool it off some.
I was going to suggest the vacuum, good job. Also on the top side, put a candy cane pipe on to keep water out.
This is a little late but you might want to run a brush like for cleaning dryer vents down that pipe to clean the walls out better. As an outbound vent its not an issue but if you use it for inbound or find the inbound you don't want to be sucking any rust or other stuff through.
turn the fan 90° and shorten the hose so there is as little irritation as possible. you lose so much energy from the fan because of sharp bends!
Looks like you’re going to have dig down to the top of your shelter to put a thermal barrier on top to fix the temperature issue. It’s probably why the shelter was abandoned to begin with.
finaly! i have been waiting for this for ages! great vid again ,please make m more!
Extend your pipe out of the ground at least another foot to 2' then put An upsidedown U shaped pipe on it so the pipe opening is upside down . Then a screen for rodents.
Dude, you are so damn lucky to have a wife who has a sense of humor, is beautiful and isn't afraid of spiders!!😁

I have to say, this bomb shelter is cleaning up very nicely. That ventilation system would be exactly the opposite of useful if that bomb happens to be Nuclear, Biological, or Chemical, but for general use extra space it'll do just fine

wonder if soaking the ground around the shelter would cool it down as well .. and couple other things you are losing pressure using the dryer tube. 4 in rubber coupler mount the fan straight to the tube you will have higher output. if you can duct air in from a cooler area like from under a shaded area it should help alot .. really enjoying this ..
Find a used swamp cooler on market place or craigslist. Instead of the pads, run furnace filters or the blue dura-cool pads mostly to filter out insects. It's getting into the upper 40s at night; blowing night time air with a cooler's exchange rate will drastically reduce the temp down there. Leave the entrance open about 2', make a panel to cover the opening where you mount the cooler and return air over the entrance opening. You can make ductwork from sheet plastic. Fold it over and tape the seam, the blower will inflate it into a tube, hang that from the ceiling and route that to the back of the room to force the warm air back out and up the access.
Should probably (as another commenter suggested) put a curved pipe with fine mesh to cap off that vent pipe. Keep gravel, rain, and critters out.

7:07 I heard that and immediately thought of Spaceballs, missed opportunity to input the vacuum scene.
Change the direction of the fan and add a length of pipe with a weatherhead up top. Will pull cooler air up away from the ground.
The only way you're going to cool it like that is with an air inlet as well...so a second pipe allowing the cooler air in.
Is there an intake pipe some where that is blocked?
You want the vent fan down closer to the ground. Most of your 'bad' gasses are heavier than air, so you want to move them out from down near the floor to keep them from building up.
Flood the "cooker" from a large tank of CO2 after sealing ALL the holes and gaps with Duct Tape. Let the temp reduce the Mass. To verify this will work, dig or drill an 8-12 foot small hole in the ground away from the bunker, and use that remote thermometer to verify the actual ground temperature at the depth. The thermal mass has had years of time to accumulate it's high temp, so with flooding the bunker with extreme cold should start the decline in the thermal mass temperature.
put that fan as far away from the door as possible. it will exchange air more efficiently.
Find some way to put up a shade over the top of the shelter some poles and a tarp keep it in the shade for a while also a foot or two of dirt or sand over it or better yet build a shed or garage on top of it that way it's in the shade All the time

What happened to the A/C? You don’t need it for humidity and it would help but would be fighting the earths heat sink all by itself. Let the outside cooler denser air in so it displaces the hot air. If you do hook up the AC then put the hose from the AC up to the exhaust fan that is directly on the pipe, other have commented. For Air flow shorter, straighter and smoother pipes are always better. Without sags 😢. Figure out a way to let air in or out on the overhead door, maybe cut a hole and put another turned down pipe. You need an in and out action for air. Also a small oscillating fan to move the air out of the corners and that bathroom. Good luck, thanks for making us chuckle, looking forward to next video.
