Carbon Filter Dry Box.

I need to make a drying box to get rid of the smell. I cant have it stinking at all really.
I got these instructions on how to make a carbon filter-

i plant on getting a big tupperware box and attacking it like a vent on a toilet kind of. I dont want to make a fan but do you think its necessary?
it would look like follows...

If you cram buds in a tight space like that, you have no choice but to use some sort of fan, especially if you are using a carbon type filter. A dc computer fan with a 7 to 12 volt power source would be all you need for a tupperware box.

No air movement inside would easily create 90% or more humidity with 'wet' buds. Mold would ruin them within 3 to 4 days.

could i run the fan off a battery

obviously i could...
so would i just rig the fan up on the box sucking air in there through the carbon filter and that will be enough to stop the buds going moldy?

Yes - since a battery is dc volts. It depends on the battery. A 9 volt battery may not have enough amp-hours to last very long. It may take several wired in parallel to give enough 'life'.

A 12 volt car battery is a different story. That should give long life to a computer fan.

I would 'suck' the air out of the box. Not 'blow' it in if you are concerned about smell.
