There are different situations in life. If you suddenly need to use a mini-vacuum cleaner, you can save on the purchase and make it yourself.

1. Outline the label along the top and bottom lines. Cut out the part of the bottle where the marking label was.

2. Take the old empty can or a tin can, remove the bottom and top, then cut down the middle to make a rectangular sheet.

3. Measure and cut a circle from the tin sheet to fit the diameter of the bottle.

4. Leaving in the middle a place for a small motor, draw a tin circle and make cuts to make 8 sectors. Each of them needs to be slightly bent. Make a small hole in the center.

5. Now attach the motor to the resulting makeshift fan.

6. Using a drill and a large drill, make 3 rows of holes at the bottom of the bottle.

7. Glue the cap from another bottle to the motor, after passing the wires from the motor into the hole on the side.

8. Put the fan inside the bottle and glue it to the bottom. Glue the seal to the top of the bottle on the inside.

9. From the wire, make a ring with such a diameter that it fits in the bottle and can be placed tightly on top of the seal. Glue a circle of thin fabric onto the ring.

10. Put the ring in the bottle on the seal and close the structure tightly with the top of the bottle.

A low-power centrifugal fan will do little good. Even quiet hoods are equipped with collector motors that are very noisy. If the fact does not scare, let's proceed to the choice of means. Let's show how to make a centrifugal fan with your own hands from improvised items. If the motor and impeller are important in a typical - axial - fan, here, among other things, a casing is added. Let's try to assemble a centrifugal fan on our own.

What is a centrifugal fan

The centrifugal fan is used as a duct fan. To simplify the consideration, let's say that the vacuum cleaner contains something similar to a duct fan. Now think:

  1. The dust is sucked up by the hose.
  2. Passes into the bag (tank, compartment).
  3. Passes filtering.
  4. Passes the engine.
  5. Ejected from the back of the case.

Due to what it turns out: inside there is a centrifugal fan formed by a drum (squirrel cage) mounted on the motor shaft. This is not enough. The impeller motor is enclosed in a sealed housing, through the channels of which the air escapes. Without a tight casing, the meaning of the operation of a centrifugal fan will be lost. Here is the main difference. Unlike axial fans, which are often used for personal needs of a person, centrifugal fans are used in the economic sphere: room ventilation, cleaning, air purification. To understand how to make a centrifugal fan, let's study the principle of operation of the device.

The principle of operation of a centrifugal fan

The centrifugal fan works due to the dynamic characteristics of the flow. Try to tie a stone to a thread and twist it around you in a horizontal plane. The hand feels a noticeable tension, if the connection were broken, the projectile would immediately fly out tangentially to the circular trajectory of rotation. Air molecules behave similarly: on the blades, the wheels acquire significant speed and, unrestrained by anything, are carried away to the outer perimeter. Then the system of channels already gives the flow the right direction. Finally, air enters in the center, usually from the opposite side of the engine.

Inside the vacuum cleaner we observe the picture:

  • The air from the bag (tank, container), cleaned of dust, comes to the engine from the front and enters the center of the drum.
  • Molecules dispersed by the blades to a significant speed are thrown out. They pass through the channels of the sealed housing, cooling the engine along the way, and leave the womb of the vacuum cleaner from the back.

Design feature: centrifugal fan blades create pressure, if the case is leaky, then the air flow will be disturbed. Therefore, the difficulty for the self-taught master lies in creating the right conditions.

In good hoods, motors with fans of a tangential (centrifugal) type are used. In the favorites, the design surprises with a duet of squirrel cages. In the latter case, a pair of impellers is mounted on both sides of the engine onto the shaft. Then the air enters from two directions perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the wheels. Thus, the efficiency of the centrifugal fan increases.

How to make a centrifugal fan

From what has been said, the obvious way to carry out the plan is to remove the tangential fan from the hood, for example. Benefit: Silent operation is ensured. The manufacturer complies with the norms prescribed by the standards, so factory hood class devices are relatively quiet. We believe that for most readers this is not the best solution to the problem, let's continue our consideration.

Vacuum cleaner

Inside the vacuum cleaner there is a ready-made centrifugal fan. A big plus is that there is already a ready-made case, which must be mounted in the channel in place. Additional benefits include:


The disadvantage of the vacuum cleaner motor is noise. In addition commutator motor sparks, which creates interference on the power supply. You will need to make a surge protector so as not to burn imported home equipment. The noise level is high. Exceeds 63 dB allowed to produce in an apartment by law.

Washing machine

What else to assemble a centrifugal fan from? An image came to mind washing machine with front loading. If you remove the door, and make channels in the case so that the flow cools the motor windings, you get a centrifugal fan. Plus - the working compartment of the washing machine is sealed. Just remove the wall of the tank near the engine to get a semblance of a centrifugal fan. The drum will have to be radically redesigned to capture air. The body will need to be disassembled.

The main dilemma arises: is it worth dismantling the tank. For most models, it was specially made so that the operation could not be done without damaging the fasteners. This helps service centers keep track of scammers making repairs. In any case, the drum is cut in place to make blades in the walls. Bend the steel inward so that the structure does not touch the tank. Option: from the walls of a steel cylinder, and bend the blades of the desired shape in the image and likeness of factory industrial models of centrifugal fans.

Seems to be the main correct selection speed. 1000 spin rpm is enough. The drum diameter is large. The vacuum cleaner gives 6000-16000 rpm, but the radius of the blades is much smaller. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the linear speed. As you know, the circumference is directly proportional to the radius, therefore, if the drum diameter of a Samsung washing machine is 45 cm, it turns out to be at least three times larger than that of a vacuum cleaner - equivalent to a speed of 3000 rpm (minimum). But! In this case, the area of ​​​​the wheel is much larger, therefore, the flow is formed grandiose.

From the foregoing, we conclude that a speed of 1000 rpm, especially 1500 rpm, is enough to independently make a centrifugal fan from a washing machine. The performance is approximately the same, however, the specific flow pressure will be reduced. Much depends on the shape of the blades, we strongly recommend that you inquire on the forum of physicists and hydraulics. The simplest option borrowing a blade from a floor fan. Plastic is welded using a set of plastic bags and a soldering iron, which will strengthen the flywheel on the shaft.

The main thing is to maintain tightness. It is recommended to close up the extra holes that the drum abounds in. A home-made centrifugal fan from a washing machine is dangerous to operate (if there are safe tangential fans), it is recommended to close the hatch for loading laundry with a strong grill. For example, make a series of holes on the front side of the case for installing the element. The centrifugal fan device is complemented by a solid fence. Make a grate from a steel bar and fasten it with bolts.

Centrifugal Fan Motor Adjustment

In 85% of cases, the motor in the washing machine is commutator. By the way, these also work direct current. The direction of rotation is determined by the polarity of the voltage.

About the speed control. The principle of operation of a centrifugal fan requires the use of spin modes. Find a thyristor circuit that controls the cutoff angle and adjust as needed. For maximum speed, connect the engine to a 220 V network. We consider open questions about what a centrifugal fan is and how to make it.

Repair and construction sites are characterized by accumulations of dirt and dust. Therefore, for high-quality cleaning of the floor and walls, it is better to use professional models. When there is no possibility of buying a building option, then we try to get it at home from improvised means and an old unnecessary vacuum cleaner.
I think many people wondered whether it is possible and how to make a vacuum cleaner with your own hands? Or make from household construction?
A home-made building unit will help to cope with such pollution: wood and metal shavings, litter after repairs and dust.

jpg" alt="115" width="282" height="300"> Do-it-yourself industrial vacuum cleaner is slightly different in terms of technical specifications.
The principle of operation is that, thanks to the pump, the motor creates rarefied air. The air stream with dirt is sucked inward. The filter purifies the air.
The principle of operation of a building unit with a cyclone consists of 3 important components. When choosing, pay attention to the power of work and the motor.

  1. Engine;
  2. Pump;
  3. Filter.

A home-made construction option is distinguished by a multi-level air purification system.

How to make your own construction vacuum cleaner?

A powerful vacuum cleaner can be made independently with the help of parts lying in any garage or warehouse. This will require the old one, and with the help of new parts it will begin a new life.

Jpg" alt="54475" width="300" height="259">

What tools and parts are needed?

In order to assemble a manual mini version, you will need an engine. We take the engine from the old one or the engine from the washing equipment. A washing machine motor is perfect.
For self-manufacturing equipment with the type will need the following tools:

  • old home vacuum cleaner;
  • oil filter;
  • bucket;
  • a pair of corners at 45 and 90 degrees;
  • plastic hose, 1 meter long.

To assemble an industrial structure with a water filter, spare parts are used:
old vacuum cleaner; plastic container; plastic pipes; sealant; aluminum tape.

We convert household into construction

It is best and easiest to make a construction vacuum cleaner from a household ordinary vacuum cleaner with a cyclone chamber. If necessary, we complete the structure with a container with water or a special corrugation to reduce the volume of noise during operation.

For Assembly construction vacuum cleaner choose powerful engines that will cope with any pollution. Since homemade copes with 95% of dust and dirt.

We produce an industrial vacuum cleaner from a domestic one with a cyclone filter. Consider a design assembled on the basis of a household one.

  1. We install a bracket for the filter on the plastic cap for the container. It is installed tightly so that dirty air does not escape from the structure.
  2. We fix the outlet hose, air will pass through it.
  3. Leave the air filter unchanged. Around the filter, we install a chipper from light debris that protects the filter.
  4. The inlet pipe is attached tangentially to the barrel wall. For structural strength, we reinforce the container walls with steel material.
  5. For ease of transportation, we make a stand on wheels from plywood. A household and manufactured filter is attached to it.

For a stronger container, you can use a piece of wood or plywood. To get durable and wooden frame, you need to use a cutter and cut it out.

It is important that all attachment points are sealed, but on the other hand, easy dismantling is welcome for cleaning from construction dirt. To make the filter work longer with a touch of industrial litter, the filter can be supplemented with accessories. Be sure to keep the filter and container clean, for quality and effective cleaning premises.

A similar guide can be found in the following video:

We collect from improvised means

How to make with minimal cost hand vacuum cleaner? This will require:

  • small motor;
  • plastic bottle;
  • switch with wire;
  • batteries;
  • flexible hose.

First, decide on the features you need. If you need a manual, then an electric motor and a battery will do. For a more powerful option, use durable parts and materials.

So how do you get a vacuum cleaner out of a plastic bottle?

There are many different video instructions on the Internet. Consider step by step guide for assembly:

  1. Cut off from plastic bottle neck, where it begins to expand. The cut piece should be tightly connected to the container.
  2. Then cut off the excess from the cut. The remaining part will house the dust collector itself and the electric motor.
  3. We make the fan from improvised materials, a can or a bottom. The dimensions of the fan must be compatible with the inside diameter of the bottle. On the cut out circle under the fan, mark 8 equal shares and cut them. The resulting blades are bent at an angle. In the center of the circle we make a small hole for the motor, and tightly attach it.
  4. We attach an electric motor with a fan to the bottom of the bottle.
  5. Connect a wire with a switch and the selected power source to the motor.
  6. The next step is to make a filter. The filter is made from a fine mesh stretched over a wire that has the shape of a circle. It must be firmly inserted into the structure, otherwise it will have to be additionally fixed.
  7. Hose connection. We insert the hose into the cut off neck and fix it with adhesive tape or adhesive tape.
  8. Nozzles can be taken from the small interchangeable nozzles of a conventional vacuum cleaner.

The effectiveness of homemade compared to analogues from the store

Homemade can not be compared with professional ones. They differ in terms of:

  • engine power;
  • suction power;
  • the volume of the container for collecting garbage;
  • noise level;
  • air purification;
  • availability of additional functions;
  • hull strength and stability.

Compared with the construction option, of course, home-made differs in the power of work. But homemade vacuum cleaner easily cope with small chips and construction dust. Homemade is smaller in weight and size, which will allow you to remove dust from the floor and from the walls. But the function at which the air is purified is not subject to it.

Do-it-yourself construction vacuum cleaner copes well with the collection of concrete, cement dust and sand.

Distinctive features: noise level and power consumption, does not overheat.

A home-made device creates less noise than purchased equipment, and consumes less electricity. The unit can work for a long time and not overheat.
For efficient operation, the fans should not be connected closely, but at a short distance. Otherwise, the fans will interfere with each other during operation. In the spacer, make movable blades at an angle to allow air flow.

For most people, the concept of "vacuum cleaner" is associated with cleaning the premises. However, manicure masters know that a device with this name is necessary not only in everyday life, but also during the nail extension procedure.

Why you need a nail vacuum cleaner

Nail extension allows women to make their hands well-groomed and attractive. However, during the sawing of gel or acrylic nails, a large amount of dust is generated, which contains many harmful components.

Prolonged inhalation of fine particles leads to their settling on the mucous membrane respiratory tract, which can give impetus to the development of certain diseases:

  • rhinitis;
  • tracheitis;
  • bronchial asthma;
  • allergies.

To prevent such unpleasant consequences, manicure masters use special vacuum cleaners during the removal of gel nails.

How to choose the right equipment

To make the work of a nail specialist as comfortable as possible, it is recommended to choose a manicure vacuum cleaner according to the following characteristics:

  • high performance - the device must effectively suck up dust before it spreads throughout the room;
  • high-quality material of the dust collector - it is impossible for the bag to let the dust particles collected into it pass;
  • compactness - the vacuum cleaner should not take up much space on the manicure table and interfere with the specialist to perform the procedure;
  • noiselessness - a loud sound during the operation of the equipment leads to irritability, loss of attention, fatigue of the master, which greatly affects the quality of the procedure and the final result.

There are the following types of manicure vacuum cleaners:

  • portable desktop device - is the most popular. It can be used at a permanent workplace or taken with you for nail extension at a client's home. Such a vacuum cleaner is a small device in the form of a palm rest, which is why it performs double function- collects dust and allows the client to comfortably position his hand, besides, this greatly helps the master in his work. When choosing a device of this type, you should pay attention to the material of its body. The most comfortable for the client is the surface covered with soft leatherette, resistant to solvents and other means. It will also be a plus if the desktop device is additionally equipped with a lamp, which will save space on the manicure table;
  • stationary equipment - it is used only at a permanent workplace, since it is built in above or below the manicure table (the grate from the vacuum cleaner is displayed on the table top). The advantage of such a device is that it does not take up space on the work surface, and it has more power than a desktop vacuum cleaner. However, the cost of such equipment is higher.

Each nail specialist can choose the most suitable design for himself, depending on whether he does a manicure in a salon, at home or works on the road.

Modern stationary hoods are equipped with powerful lamps, which facilitates the work of the master and saves space on the manicure table.

Overview of the most popular models

Novice manicure masters most often receive clients at home, and therefore they are wondering which brand of desktop vacuum cleaner is best to choose.

The most popular models of mobile hoods are provided by the following manufacturers:

  • Ultratech - vacuum cleaners of this company are distinguished by the practical absence of noise and a long warranty period (24 months). The device meets all the necessary requirements.
  • Salon Professional - devices are produced by an American company and are characterized by a powerful built-in fan, which allows you to instantly clean the air from pollution.
  • Lady Victory - the manufacturer made sure that Lady Victory devices are as convenient as possible for the client, so their body is covered with soft material. The company offers a variety of leatherette colors to choose from.
  • Planet Nails - vacuum cleaners of this brand combine good quality and low cost. In addition, Planet Nails models are distinguished by their compactness.
  • Simei - instrument cases are made of high-quality plastic and equipped with a soft rubberized lining for the client's hands. A big plus of the device is that it has a built-in convenient LED lamp that provides good lighting. The suction power of the vacuum cleaner reaches a distance of 10 cm.

How to make your own manicure hood

There are many videos on the Internet with an overview of desktop hoods for manicure. Their design is quite simple: a fan is mounted in the case, under which a dust collection bag is installed. Therefore, it will not be difficult to make such an extract on your own. To do this, you need to be able to work with a soldering iron and prepare the necessary parts.

Vacuum cleaner from a computer cooler

You can create a desktop hood from a computer cooler using materials that almost everyone has at home, but if not, then they are easy to find in any hardware store. So, for a homemade device you will need the following parts:


The process of assembling the vacuum cleaner itself is carried out in the following sequence:


When cutting extended nails, the finished hood can be placed nearby on the desktop, and after the procedure, the non-woven dust collection bags are easily shaken out and washed, after which they can again be used in work.

A homemade vacuum cleaner can be improved if you make a case for it. To do this, it is necessary to make a structure from plywood that resembles the roof of a birdhouse. The angle between the two slopes should be approximately 120°. In one of the sides you need to cut a hole and close it with a protective grill. From the inside, the assembled ventilation product should be attached to this hole. Put the dust bag on the cooler and get started.

Homemade built-in hood

Stationary hoods, which are used by nail specialists in salons, have a rather high cost. But at home, you can make a built-in model, while spending a small amount.

To make such a vacuum cleaner, you will need the same computer cooler. You can use two or even three fans at once, then the power of the hood will increase significantly.

So, to get a built-in manicure hood, you need to follow certain steps:

  1. Determine the place on the surface of the table where the flat ventilation grill will be located.
  2. Cut a hole in the countertop for the fan.
  3. Attach under the table top assembled structure from the cooler (or several fans).
  4. Put a dust bag on the cooler. An exhaust corrugated pipe can also be attached to the fan, at the end of which it is necessary to place a bag of fabric on a non-woven base. Due to the larger size of the dust collectors, in this case, you will have to change much less often.
  5. A grate should be fixed on top of the tabletop.

A manicure vacuum cleaner is necessary in the work of a nail specialist, since such a device helps protect the environment from pollution by harmful dust, thereby preventing the development of diseases of the upper respiratory tract of the master. A large selection of portable and stationary hoods is presented in stores. But if you need to save them, it’s easy to make them yourself.

Children, playing role-playing games, get used to various images. And best of all, kids get to portray their parents leading a home life. For such games, various items are needed that can be made independently from improvised means. In this case, it will be a vacuum cleaner.
To make a toy vacuum cleaner with your own hands you will need:
- a bottle with a handle from an air conditioner or liquid laundry detergent;
- a piece of corrugated pipe or hose (50-70 cm);
- wheels on the axle from a children's car;
- household brush for clothes;
- electrical tape or tape;
- an awl and scissors.

We remove the sticker from the surface of the bottle. Soap helps to remove it, but the surface still remains sticky. White spirit allows you to completely clean the bottle of glue residue.

Remove the cap from the bottle and make a hole in it. Its size should be equal to the diameter of the corrugated pipe. An awl allows you to cut a hole evenly. Using it, we make several holes in the lid, then cut it around the circumference with scissors or a knife. Rough edges can be sanded with sandpaper or a file.




We insert "flush" with the cover one end of the corrugated pipe. We fix the parts together so that the "vacuum cleaner" does not fall apart during children's games. The easiest way to fasten is to make holes with an awl and fasten with a thread. Screw the cap back into the neck of the bottle.


Next, we fix a household brush on the other end of the corrugated pipe. Its width should be approximately the same as the diameter of the pipe. If the brush has a handle, then it is better to cut it off. We also remove excess bristles in advance.




We cut a rectangular hole at the end of the pipe into which we insert the brush. We fix it with electrical tape: first the end, and then in two places along the diameter of the pipe.




The last step is to install the wheels. To do this, we pierce two holes in the bottle with an awl, thread the axle, and fasten the wheels. It remains only to decorate the children's vacuum cleaner. For example, stick the logo of some well-known sales company on the surface of the bottle. household appliances or a colorful picture.
