@Milo Hugo It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my ass!

Man, you're lucky to have an older guy working with you. I'd like to think I'd have loved that. Kudos and nice build!

Nice job, nice music. Thanks

AWESOME JOB !!! Worked as good as $1500 units I've seen. Not meaning to Monday morning quarter back but I think I would put hinges on one side of the door allowing it to swing open for easier access. Just a thought, Great Job.

That was really well done. I like the small details like including lockwashers AND nyloc nuts to keep things together in a high vibration environment. I'm so inspired now!

GREAT JOB ! I'm working on my own at this time. LOOKING FORWARD TO IT .

Glad you enjoyed it, William! Best of luck on your build

Very well built

Not sure of the older guy is family or not bc i skipped around but if it's family or friends, time well spent and im sure great memory

Интересная работа. Корпус улитки можно было из жидкого пластика отлить по вашей двойной форме.

Fiy i used to do this making sub boxes on bolts just use clear calk you dont need lock washers it works like nylon nuts they dont back off but can be removed. Handy to know if you need a lock washer and dont have one.

Sweet!

Дорого получилось, особенно лопастное колесо, а двигатель можно от старой косилки одолжить.

The top, someone used an old sheet cleat mounted to his cart top, worked like a sawchip dust collection system very littel dust.

You could extend to blades out longer with rubber or plastic to get more suction

That is a great job you two did together and it works like a champion. One question if I may. How deep is the chamber and how thick is the impeller . I’d like to try my hand at building one also. Thanks for you time and thanks for sharing .

Thanks Robert! The chamber is 6" deep, minus the 1/2" recess for the halves to fit one another. I'm not sure off the top of my head, but I believe the impeller steel is 1/8" thick.

I’m definitely going to build one of these. Great work!

The acid wash you mention for the metal, is that to take the zinc coating off or is there another reason? This came out great by the way! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us!!

Looks like it performs fairly well despite the design. Any idea how many inches of vacuum it can generate in the intake hose?

Would this be able to suck up leaves if it wasn’t attached to the lawnmower? I don’t have a ride on mower and have been thinking of building one like this and attaching to my trailer to suck up piles of leaves.

Cool build. Is it strong enough to pick up heavy stuff (like animal droppings...)

@IndyHomestead

Larry, The vacuum is strong enough to pick up heavier items including wet grass, wet leaves, smaller rocks, twigs/branches and yes even animal droppings! The amount of suction the system will create is also related to the height of your mower deck if you are using it as a combined system (the lower the mower deck, the more pressure the vacuum can generate).

Where did you get the impeller?

Why is the impeller so much smaller than the scroll housing would it not be more efficient if it was more closely matched? The one I built had only approximately 1/4” clearance between the housing and the impeller and it can almost suck a nail out of a deck. The side clearance is equally as close. Did you calculate better performance with that much clearance or did I just misunderstand your design? Please explain if you know the reason for your engineering design

Mark, Due to the nature of this blower/vacuum and its intended use, having enough clearance on either side of the impeller allows debris (such as sticks, branches, rocks etc) and material to pass freely through the system without fear of damage to the vacuum. Additionally, the closer the impeller is to sides of the housing, the louder the unit becomes (akin to an air raid siren).

There are a bunch of prefabricated impellers on websites such as Ebay. Make sure the shaft of the impeller matches the crankshaft of the engine you choose to use for a correct fit.

Will this pick up acorns?

Where did you get your hose from?

We don't have any nut trees on the property so I cannot say for certain. But I imagine it would do a fairly good job of it as long as the acorns were not sitting too long and pressed far down below the grass.
