Vacuum cleaner design

Aug 06, 2003 1 Replies

Can anyone help me with a design for an outdoor vacuum cleaner . I would like to make it simple. My plan is to adapt a four stroke lawn mower which can be installed in trailer with a hose leading off for suction to vacuum alpaca droppings. It would be good if it could mulch the droppings as it goes.

Visualize a particle separator vortex. Side hose inlet admits poop. Vacuum cleaner suction from above. Poop hots side wall and a rotary scraper knife peels it off the walls of the funnel where it drops down as mulch, if moderately dessicated.
