The most powerful blower made from PVC pipes and an old vacuum cleaner
Most old vacuum cleaners are sent for recycling due to depressurization of the housing, wear of hoses and filters, while their engine still remains fully functional. It is not very powerful, so there are not many really successful ways to use it. Perhaps the most practical use of a vacuum cleaner motor is to make a garden blower.
The motor from the vacuum cleaner must be removed and placed in a plastic sewer pipe from the socket side.
For this, a pipe about 40-50 cm long is used.
To mount the motor, you need to cut a round plug from plywood or board equal to the inner diameter of the pipe.
It is screwed to the motor on the back side of the shaft.
The power wire is connected to the engine via a toggle switch. Then a window is cut in the pipe to install the switch.If the motor brushes protrude too much and do not allow it to enter the pipe, then a cutout will need to be made for them.
The narrow part of the motor is inserted into the pipe before the fan expands. Self-tapping screws are screwed into the pipe on the side opposite the plywood insert. The switch is also fixed in the pipe.
After this, you need to seal the gap between the fan on the motor and the socket with hot glue. If the brushes were in the way, so the pipe had to be cut on the side, then the cutout is wrapped with tape or tape on top. After this, for rigidity, a reduction is pulled over the winding.
A handle is cut out of plywood or board.
A piece of pipe is screwed to it from the end, and the handle itself is attached to the body with rivets through it.
If the walls of the pipe are thin, then for rigidity you should screw the handle to the sections folded in half, so the handle will not bend.
Pipe sections of 110 mm and 50 mm are used as replacement nozzles for the blower. They need to be narrowed at the edge. To do this, they are warmed up and pressed until they harden.
A large nozzle is installed thanks to its own socket, and for a thin one you need to use an adapter.
If the vacuum cleaner motor is weak, then there is no point in making a nozzle from a 110 mm pipe, since the inflation through it will be weak.
Using a blower, you can quickly sweep away fallen leaves on the site and blow shavings and sawdust out of the grass. The tool will also help if necessary to clean the workshop and the electrical equipment in it from dust, etc.
Materials:
- sewer pipes 50 mm and 110 mm;
- plywood or board;
- toggle switch;
- electrical cord with plug;
- pipe adapter 110 mm by 50 mm;
- sealing reduction from cast iron pipe to plastic pipe 110 mm – 2 pcs.
