Hi,

The tandem-air (two different fan systems) can be used together for carpeting cleaning with extra oomph provided by the machine's clean-air motor. The same cleaner can be used with only the direct air-motor running to provide suction and of course to drive the brushroll.

Two suction motors in a standard-size household upright vac is a unique idea I have only seen used by Riccar/Simplicity. When you've got your plan worked out please send pictures!

Best,

Venson

not a problem on the pics....do you think i should concentrate all suction thru the one inlet...at one end or one inlet for the dir-air mtr ,,and at the other end an inlet for the clean air mtr...that meet as one at the entrance of the bag.,,and could i use 2 in pvc pipe in place of the rectangular kind thats used in dir-air systems.....and thank you for your reply....
