a dc vaccum?

Posts: 46,084
ok gang I have been lurking in here for a long time now I have
a slightly off topic question as I am thinking of purchasing
my first Basic Stamp. (I was waiting till I had a project in mind)
Basically what I would like to do eventually is something along the
lines of Robo-cut
(http://www.parallax.com/html_pages/resources/custapps/app_robocut.as
p) but for vacuuming my carpet. (I know some company is trying to do
this commercially, but heck some one already makes the lawn mower
thingy too.)
anyway back to my off topic question. i am trying to get a grasp on
where I can get all the pieces I need except I can find a DC vacuum
assembly. I have found a few DC vacuum cleaners that I suppose I
could ravage, but I would rather find an actual part.
any thoughts?
thanks,
Jeremy

and would use large batteries.
check the amps for your rechgargable lawnmower and your vacuume
cleaner. there are close enough in size to exchange components.
Eureka Boss is an upright, but I would assume a canister, low profile
with the beater bar.
just a thought.

How much power? Most consumer 110 Vac vacuum cleaner motors are brush-type
universal motors and will run quite nicely from 90 Vdc through 110
Vdc. I've run the vacuum motor assembly removed from an old Electrolux
vacuum cleaner from 110 Vdc with no problems.
You can also look at some of the automotive vacuum cleaners. No hassles
with high voltage DC but they are MUCH less powerful than even the smallest
110V vacuum cleaner.

off a Makita style battery. These guys go constantly, and it's amazing how
much they seem to suck up, particularly with such a small battery. Perhaps
it's if you butcher one of these style vac's (or even two of them
parallelled together for extra suck!!) you would find what you want. Even
better still, if you use these assy's they have their own bags, and
standard vacuum cleaner hose fittings, so it takes a lot of the BORING
mechanical work out of it. Just give em power!! The units are industrial but
cheap looking.
Drop me an email if you want to know more, I will go and find manufacturer
and part number etc for you.
Regards,
Dwain.
