FYI: The Dyson Vacuum cleaner was invented because James Dyson created a separation filter for the extraction in the ball barrow injection moulding machine shop. He got fed up of the generic filters clogging up.

explaining the air path with the cut in half dyson was amazing!! big props

Loving the different content, of course aviation is fun but seeing all the engineering feats play into different fields is hella entertaining

[@FireheartIndustries]

I feel like plasti-dip spray would work well for sealing 3d printed items, especially for boat hulls or things that need to be air tight

:thanksdoc:

I thought the little things at the top of the vacuums were completely aesthetics! It's quite cool that they actually have a purpose

[@robbyg3989]

Makes me wanna CNC all night long. Genius

[@Drawliphant]

That slowmo is incredible. Nice work

Cyclone separators aren't just used for cleaning. They have been used a lot in places where air is used to move particulate through pipes. They just get the stuff you are moving out of the airflow before it gets sucked into the fan, and deposit the stuff where you want it.

[@altus1226]

To retain the speed of the air and then separate the high pressure air stream from the particulate, add an internal "shell" shaped internal wall (with tiny holes at sparse tiny holes and more holes closer to the end), such that the air stream expands at an algorithmically fixed rate to pressure-match the exterior of a symmetrical cone inside placed over the inlet to the next stage.

"I should probably do that " famous last words 😂😂😂

[@Pystro]

For the issue of dust not falling down, I would give the cyclone separator vertical walls (instead of the cone shape which pushes heavy particles upwards via centrifugal force). You'd need to position the exit that dumps the dust into the bucket on the side of the bottom plate, though. (It's position on the bucket lid doesn't really matter.) You don't want it too large in order to avoid stirring up the dust in the bucket, but you also need it to cover at least a small section of the wall where the heavy dust will accumulate.

[@revvilo]

No way! I was just marvelling the other day with my dad about how neat the mechanics of cyclone separators are, and your previous video came up in conversation.

[@THERE_IS_NO_DATA]

You really should probably add support columns to the Cone that connect it's top to the lip of the lid, this thing looks one bad fall away from needing to be completely reconstructed

[@jercos]

Some industrial cyclone designs I've seen will reduce the air volume at the bottom using a solid cone inside the end, rather than by tapering down the walls. This seems to allow better settling and reduce clogs.
