- Today, I test a dirt collection system. I made this system using 4 shop vac’s and a leaf blower. I want to see the difference between the vacuums + leaf blower, and the water lift that they are capable of. I also put different things through the 4 inch corrugated pipe, to see what it’s capable of sucking up.
Dude this is so cool. Please do more videos with expairments like this. I am a vacuum collector and I'd like to see more videos like this
At this point you might aswell go for a venturi dredge nozzle configuration with the leafblower
Vacuum cleaners, unlike their name, work with air flow more than suction. Suction is basically putting your hand over the hose with no airflow. It doesn't pick up debris, it's the pressure. Now, I think your leaf blower will ultimately have less suction than those four machines tied to your barrel, but considerably more airflow.
afbigfish1's comment is correct, since you are using the vacuums in parallel, you are increasing the amount of volume of air moved, suction is where you daisy-chain them in series (not recommended since the motor housings may overheat from the heat generated by the friction of the previous motor) but you would get negligible air flow increase when doing that.
Similar, started with a 1hp dust collector, then a 2hp, now waiting on a 3hp and a cyclone. 40+ feet to a crawl space that I can't fit in.

Hey could anyone help me im trying to figure something out I need help. I’ve made a setup using a small 5-gallon Yeti bucket with two motors, replacing a larger 45-gallon barrel. This setup boosts the vacuum for my Mytee S300h, which is perfect for my upholstery cleaning due to its small size and portability. Although the vacuum is powerful and the bucket holds well, when I connect the Yeti bucket’s hose to the Mytee S300h’s waste tank hole, combining three motors for more suction, I notice that the suction isn’t as strong as expected when I use the 8-foot vacuum hose with the upholstery tool. Without the hose the succion is so much more powerful I also made sure everything was perfectly sealed with hose so could it be because the air is restricted from the 8400P mytee tool ? Or the size of my vacuum hose ? Please help
Sure, the longer the hose the more friction it will cause which will slow down your airflow. Did you ever make any improvements? One suggestion I can make is to look for a similar sized hose that isn't corrugated. I don't know why they don't ever seem to make smooth hoses for vacuuming, as the corrugation will definitely slow down the air. I suppose because they are cheaper and maybe last longer? Let us know what you figured out.
no, no, no. you are doing the vacuums wrong for increasing lift. the way you have it plumbed you are ONLY increasing CFM's, you need to plug the intake of one into the exhaust of another one. I would disconnect 2 from the barrel and cap those ports then take take the 2 you disconnected and plug them into the exhaust of the 2 still hooked to the barrel. this way you will increase BOTH cfm's and lift
