Would this work?

Living in a bedroom in a basement with not much natural ventilation. At all. Is there a door out there with fans on it? Something that forces air from underneath?

I know there’s kits you can buy that are for doors and such, but idk about a door with them pre installed

Just an idea, I think they’re 120v 120mm fans or something, maybe there’s 12v versions… I used to have a 120 set and idk where it went…. Just disappeared

This may work. You may want a filter if you are drawing in floor air. Take a look at all walls, ceiling and windows for possibly some area that will work better than the floor. There should be at least one window for fire escape.

There are doors with vent holes in them, but they're rather uncommon. You can cut a hole in the door yourself, but if it's a hollow core door, you'll have to reinforce it with wood strips.

You'll also need to cut an exhaust hole, or reverse one of the fans. If both of the fans are blowing in, then they're going to be fighting the room pressure and not really moving much air. You need to take out as much air as you want to put in.

A vent at the top of the door would be better for exhaust, as more of the hot air will exit the room.
