Interesting contraption to convert a shop vac into a dual cyclonic dirt collection system.

Perhaps some day a manufacturer will work a cyclonic system into a shop vac...

The smart tyrant writes his own story to ensure that it is favorable. The lazy will repeat lines from the book without fact checking.

I'm surprised that a cyclone application hasn't already been incorporated into the traditional shop vacuums. Certainly begs the question why.

1.) Cost more money 2.) People don't think outside the box. 3.) If not design properly, can be more $#%*bersome. List goes on, but eventually people figure out a smarter design and use it over a dumber, less efficient design.

I was thinking specifically about the dyson brand when I posted this thought about cyclonic shop vacs. It would seem a logical by-product of the dyson brand. Maybe eventually, like you said, dyson will figure it out and try.
