    That's really cool to see the improved design after seeing the first iteration. A lot of people either don't show the process of iterative improvements (or don't bother to iterate at all), and that tends to get discouraging when I try to build something and it doesn't work perfect on the first try like it appeared to for everyone else. Thanks for making videos demonstrating the mistakes.

    That was so trippy, the cleaning sequence at 3:55 coincided with some dust landing in my eye, and I couldn't tell if your video was triggering some sort of placebo hypochondria, or if that was real. Interesting stuff as always, Mathias

      Exactly. So I would've tried to fabricate it by thermoforming clear sheet plastic, which would've taken many extra hours of work, only to (re)discover that clear plastics tend to be weaker than translucent HDPE or PP. One good chunk of wood smacks it just right, and it'd get a crack that starts spitting dust and all that extra effort would've been wasted, as strip by strip the whole thing gets covered in duct-tape.

    • @Tmckenn3
      @Tmckenn3 8 років тому +9

      Look up a closed-end air column. Basically the sound wave will enter the tube and bounce off the closed end. Depending on the wavelength of the sound and the length of the tube the reflected wave will be "inverted" but with equal amplitude. When this happens the incoming and outgoing waves will cancel at the mouth of the can. This doesn't work with all frequencies that his machine produces. But because machines typically only produce a hand full of frequencies that are actually loud, he can "tune" his can to eliminate some of them. In his case it sounds like it eliminates the high pitched whiny frequencies.

    Matthias, I would like it if you would test the difference between putting the filter on the suction side as you do with your machines (from what I can see) and putting the filter on the exhaust side, like your commercial dust collector, to see if there is any advantage either way.

  • @afivey
    @afivey 8 років тому

    Thanks for making this Matthias. Using an LED lamp to show a silhouette on translucent plastic instead of looking for a perfectly transparent part is something I'd definitely have overlooked.
    Would keeping the filters wet further increase the amount of fine particles caught by a useful amount or just drop the exit airflow to the point of uselessness?

  • @FelixMoBu
    @FelixMoBu 8 років тому +2

    You could make a piece of plywood in Front of the hole behind the filters with a long trigger to push it against the hole until the motor rotates at topspeed and then pull it away. Thats what I would do with the smal dust collector.

    An average winter temp just below 20degrees. Refer to the "air filter cleaning " project for the available filter material where you can make your own big filter. P.S. I still think you are very smart & crazy. I loved your collector roaming around like Robbie the Robot.

      Chance discovery. I was trying to figure out ways to reduce the noise, nothing really worked, but I noticed a plastic container held near the exhaust reduced it slightly, so then went to figure out the best size of container.

    • @Excalibure666
      @Excalibure666 8 років тому +3

      very smart. Usually, if you put something infront of the air outlet, especially in an angle, it makes noise. Many musical instruments works that way. It's very surprising your tin can actually reduce noise. Great job!

      Water isn't great filter, you need to renew water every few days or it will get very lively :) I prefer any cheapest car air filters for that kind of thing. Also, winding 2-3 layers of paper towels around it helps a lot. Doesn't really affect airflow, but makes cleaning much easier and filter will last longer. If you need to filter really tiny dust, you could use 3M filters for toner or some analog, about 10-13$ each.

  • @tawanga
    @tawanga 8 років тому

    For one of your machine projects, you should try using a inverter drive. It takes 120 V single phase in, and outputs 3 phase 240 V to the motor. The advantages are: smaller motor, soft start, more starting torque, variable speed.
    This is probably contrary to your philosophy of minimum cost and salvage parts, but consider it if you ever come across a 240V three phase motor you can pick up for cheap.

    • @brandy1011
      @brandy1011 8 років тому

      Are there any inverter drives that step up the voltage? The ones I know just rectify the input voltage and use it to feed the inverter, so the output voltage cannot be higher than the input voltage.

    Did you want to try a double cyclone setup? one for large second for fine then large bag filter

    • @matthiaswandel
      @matthiaswandel  8 років тому +3

      this makes no sense. Each cyclone has a lot of pressure drop - and the separation ability is to a large extent a function of pressure drop. Just make your first cyclone spin faster.

      Matthias Wandel, I actually made a two stage cyclone and need no filters at the end. The trick is to make many smaller cyclones in stage two that will separate the fine dust but still allow full air throughput. it's built and working and I'm very happy with it. My small basement cave is nicely clean after having used it for 6 months. I believe cyclones and filters are enemies. I have made a rather boring video about it.

      +Henrik Larsen It seems to be interesting, it looks a bit like a dyson. Was this the idea to make it similar or how did you come to this concept?

    • @maximumiq158
      @maximumiq158 8 років тому +1

      moninum it was dyson that showed me that the fine dust must be extracted at very high g forces. I then designed this to aim for that. And it worked.

    I've got a 1HP dust collector with a 15in impeller, 3in thick. I've had it explode once, and it scared the hell out of me, the machine itself is already terrifying spinning at 3450RPM...

      He probably salvaged it from some old tool. In most cases you can get away with using a regular light switch.

    I am looking into building dust collector/extractor and wonder about what extractor to use. In my country there are options in the fume hood department. How can I know what extractor unit (the motor/sqirl cage unit) to get please?

    • @matthiaswandel
      @matthiaswandel  3 місяці тому

      A fume hood blower will produce far too little suction, so don't get any of them, unless you only want to suck fine dust at close range from a belt sander

      @@matthiaswandel I eventually made use of the power head of a Hitachi shop vac machine and set it on top of a large PE bucket. Now the two function as a dust/shavings collector quite well.
      I have some dust caking against the main shop vac filter but I still have to install a baffle of some kind.
      The barrel is a PE 50 gallon bucket which was prone to implosion but ever since I installed a plywood "hoop" on the inside the barrel is able to hold its shape.
      The barrel has one of these quick seals (the metal ring with the handle on it) which makes for an easy clean out and the Hitachi 1000 W shop vac really works well with the tools I tested with the home made dust extraction ports which is my home made table saw and a chop saw.
      Most tools I own I installed a diy dust extractor port on which most of them need testing still...but since the diy ports look very much like (and in some cases are better streamlined then) the factory port options they should work at least half descent...

    ever thought of using dyson's "bladeless" design?

    • @matthiaswandel
      @matthiaswandel  8 років тому +1

      the bladeless fan works by blowing air through small nozzles. That air comes from a blower, which, surprise surprise, has blades

    • @NiTheGod
      @NiTheGod 8 років тому

      yes i know it has blades (that's why i put "" on the bladeless). I was just wondering if its tunnel-like design would help with flow of materials
