Vaccum Cleaner

 INTRODUCTION  This project is about fabrication of a dual powered outdoor vacuum cleaner, in which we will have a suction pump run by a dc motor. The outlet of the pump will be connected to a bin to hold the litter. The power to the dc motor will be provided by a battery, which will be charged  by the solar panels mounted on top of the device. Provision is given to charge the battery in adverse conditions by electricity. The complete unit will be mounted on a trolley for easy movement. By this technology, the use of engines run by fuel for the same purpose can be eliminated as fuel is one depleting source of energy and the price of fuel in the recent years is an increasing curve on the graph, which is still increasing further. This device can be used in places like school, hospital, compounds, railway stations, bus stand and in lawns to carry away fallen leaves. This project is an attempt to clean the environment at a faster rate and by cost effective means.

 Evolution of vacuum cleaner 

 Daniel

Hess

3aniel +ess of 4est 5nion, 6owa invented a vacuum cleaner in 789:, calling it a carpet sweeper instead of a vacuum cleaner. +is machine did, in fact, have a rotating brush like a traditional carpet sweeperand possessed an elaborate bellows mechanism on top of the body to generate suction of dust and dirt. +ess received a patent (5 ;o. >! for his invention of  the vacuum cleaner on ?uly 7:, 789:.

W. McGaffey

The first manually powered cleaner using vacuum principle was the @4hirlwind@, invented in hicago in 7898 by 6ves 4. 'c#affey. The machine was lightweight and compact,  but was difficult to operate because of the need to turn a hand crank at the same time as pushing it across the floor. 'c#affey enlisted the help of The %merican arpet leaning o. of Boston to market it to the public. 6t was sold for A7. *nly two are known to have survived, one of  which can be found in the +oover +istorical enter. 'c#affey was but one of many 7=th century inventors in the 5nited tates and 2urope who devised manual vacuum cleaners. +e obtained a patent (5 ;o. =7,7C! on ?une 8, 789=.

 Melville

Bissell

6n 78>9, 'elville D. Bissell of #rand Dapids, 'ichigan created a pushpowered carpet sweeper for his wife, %nna utherland Bissell, to clean up sawdust in carpeting. hortly after, Bissell arpet weepers were born. %fter 'elville died une/pectedly in 788=, %nna took  control of the company and became one of the most powerful  businesswomen of the day. The company later added portable vacuum cleaners to its line of cleaning tools.
