Answer #2

I’ve never tried this, but look at the Dyson website. It’ll probably tell you how ordanary vaccum cleaners work, and how the Dyson is different. Your project could branch off into two different… branches… hope this helps.

Answer #3

A vacuum cleaner works by creating a vacuum inside the air chamber. The mechanical / electrical part is really a strong motor that blows air, usually out the top or back of the vacuum, which creates a suction force at the bottom (where the dirt gets pulled inside).

The all work the same in principal….if you attached a motor that blew air (say a fan) to one end of an object that had an opening at the other side, it would work the same and cause air to flow first inside the object, then out through the fan.
