How to make a vacuum cleaner with your own hands

For this we have enough of the most ordinary rubbish that can be found in any apartment: broken appliances, electronics, wires, pieces of tubes, hoses and other "garbage" that you regretted throwing away. All this will come in handy for us to make a vacuum cleaner out of a bottle with your own hands. Consider step by step how to do this.

What you need to do

First of all, you need to get somewhere a small working electric motor. Without it, everything else will remain useless rubbish.

The equipment often fails due to the breakage of any one part, and everything else remains intact. Therefore, you can, for example, borrow a motor and other parts we need from your old cassette recorder, record player, music center, or children's toy.

To make a vacuum cleaner with your own hands, you need to prepare the following parts:

• Plastic bottle of suitable size.
• Electric motor
• The switch with the wires.
• Power supply or batteries.
• Connector for power supply.
• Flexible hose or tube.

Tools and consumables:

• Stationery knife.
• Soldering iron.
• Solder.
• Hotmelt glue.
• Scissors.
• Can or bottle.
• Marker.
• Ruler.
• Office pins.
• Nylon screed or thick wire.
• Small nylon mesh.
• Scotch tape, tape or adhesive tape.

Training

At the very beginning, you should clearly define the goals that your homemade vacuum cleaner should fulfill. Some features of its design will depend on it. If we needsmall computer vacuum cleaner, then for this purpose the motor on batteries from a children's toy will fit perfectly. If we are going to make something more serious (for example, household option) then used parts and materials should be, respectively, larger and stronger.

Most carefully you need to go to the choice of a motor and power source for it. Their electrical characteristics must coincide completely, otherwise problems may arise: one of the two will either burn out or simply will not work.

Step-by-step instruction

So, how to make a vacuum cleaner out of a bottle? For this you need to be clear about what it looks like. device device and How does he work. We take a plastic bottle of irregular shape and cut off the neck from it in the place where it expands. We should have something like a lid that can be firmly inserted back.

Then we measure off the excess part from the cut of the neck and cut it off so that the remaining volume is enough for the dust collector and the placement of the motor.

For the manufacture of the fan we can use any piece of soft metal of a suitable size. This can be a can bottom, a tin lid, or something that can be easily cut with scissors and then bent. Ideally, if we are lucky to find a ready-made propeller from any toy.

The diameter of the fan impeller should almost coincide with the internal diameter of the bottle, for better suction.

Cut a circle out of the tin and mark it into eight equal parts. Further along the marking lines we make cuts with scissors, leaving about 5-10 mm to the center of the circle.

In the center we make a hole for the motor rotor, and the blades of the impeller are slightly bent at an angle so that they suck in the air during rotation, and not vice versa.

We fasten together the fan and the rotor of the electric motor with hot melt or in any other way, trying not to allow any distortions in the connection.

In the bottom we make holes for the air flow, simply cutting off the protruding edges of the bottom with a clerical knife.

Then you need to attach an electric motor to the inside of the bottom. For this we need any plastic cover. The main thing is that its size approximately coincides with the size of the motor.

This is necessary to firmly glue the electric motor to the bottom of the bottle using hot melt glue.

Homemade vacuum cleaner is almost ready left make a filterwhich will separate the electric motor from the dust compartment. To do this, we use a fine mesh, which we stretch onto a nylon tie or wire bent in a circle.

If the manufactured filter is tightly inserted into our homemade vacuum cleaner without additional fasteners, then you can leave it at that. Otherwise, you need to attach it to the holders, as which you can use clerical buttons. The last need to stick into the bottle around the circumference of the filter attachment and wrap them outside with adhesive tape.

For the manufacture of the hose, we use a tube with a diameter slightly smaller than the neck of the bottle. At the end of the tube you can wind several layers of medical plaster so that the tube fits tightly into the neck and does not slip out of it.

Suction nozzles can be made from anything: from a ballpoint pen, a dropper tube, a syringe, a plastic bottle, depending on their purpose. You can even use small interchangeable tips from a real vacuum cleaner if they fit.

Now it remains only to solve the problem with the power of the electric motor, namely: connect the switch and the power source, which can serve as a battery, battery or AC adapter.

After that, our homemade vacuum cleaner is ready for use!

Conclusion

As you can see, making a small homemade vacuum cleaner or a keyboard cleaning machine is a snap. Moreover, the device made by us can be easily transferred from place to place not only within the apartment, but also used, for example, in the garage for cleaning the seats and panels in the passenger compartment.
