Interesting new vacuum technology

[Mikey P]

I wonder if this could be adapted to uprights...

I think if you can add a pvc 90 degree tube to put on that internal inlet that would work better. All the heavy debris would be directed and fall down away from the filter.

Getting closer to my 1985 automatic series/parallel valve. I should get it past the drawing and prototype stage and actually build it.

I was just disillusioned with tweaking electric machines.

Filter queen had the right concept. Offset the vacuum inlet and use a cone filter instead of a bag. The incoming air and debris swirls like a tornado not allowing anything to collect on the filter until the motor stops.

In theory.
But it's still all about the brushroll and oreck has the best.

The ONLY thing special about the Workhorse is the ability for the operator to see the dry soil coming out as it's being used.

Which is special, don't get me wrong.

As long as it's not coming out the exhaust.

If you can’t edge with power, while standing upright, it’s not a good vacuum

 

[Mikey P]

What does edge with power mean?

 

[hogjowl]

That you don’t lose suction upon removing the edging hose

Put a little water in the tank of your shop-vac to trap dust. Keeps dust from blowing out of the exhaust and keeps the filter clean longer.

But yall knew that, right?

Seems the Pulse-Bac system would just transfer debris "bac" and forth from one filter to the other.

 

[Ed Valentine]

That makes sense.

I was laughing because we have a similar system for our Automatic pump out system however, it deals with water instead of air.
