Worlds first BAGGED Dyson is born

[mike811]

I have made much better transition from the bin inlet to the bag. You can see from the picture that the old transition what I use now isn't smooth at all causing airflow drop.
Let's hope I can get more cfm from it.

Motor in this Dyson DC40 (1100 watts) could be more powerful. I mean my 30 years old Philips (1000 watts) can pull same 104 cfm from the canister body and it's going through the bag and pre motor filter.

Didn't I suggest on the other thread that you could extensively modify a Dyson bin to accommodate bags? On a separate note, does anyone else get a little bit angry at the Dyson commercials?

Dyson advertisements

I have to say that Mr Dyson does come across as exceedingly smug.

In fact, the best Dyson adverts are the ones he doesn't appear in!

I think you did
Dyson commercials are somewhat annoying. Especially early ones where they praise no loss of suction. Problem with it is that the bagged vacuums have more suction and especially airflow to start with. So with the modern bagged vacuum airflow even with the full bag is still much better than in the no loss of suction Dyson
Here is video of my updated Bagged DC40 vs bagless DC40.
Difference isn't big but difference it is

I am not totally happy to the results, but at least it has some increase in airflow. Bin still needs grooves to allow air to flow through the whole bag. Almost all bagged vacuums has those grooves so air can flow freely from the sides of the bag. They also help in no loss of suction when the bag fills.
That's my next update.

"Bin still needs grooves to allow air to flow through the whole bag."

Yes, exactly. Hmm. You could take some metal wire coat hangers and make a big spring-shaped spiral, to put around the bag and hold it away from the bin. Or... you could take some kind of wire mesh and make a cylinder shape to hold the bag. I suppose chicken wire might work. I was thinking of using some kind of stiff wire mesh and making it pleated to space it away from the bin, but now that seems like too much work compared to my first two suggestions.

Or... something.

I would take a piece of large pipe and drill holes in it. That way it would be like the bag cage that the Electrolux cleaners had.

Grooves installed. I used windows rubber seal strips.

I'm still VERY impressed with your hough process!

This is probably how most engineers started all of it.
Yes, I've seen the new Dyson ads... "That's why we've stopped designing corded vacuums". ..... for instance.
Proud and smug are different.
I've seen both. Smug is so... "smug". Anyone else know smug people?
Still, I'll stick with my HOOVERS.

fantastic

I think that's very clever

keep up the good work

That might work, you'll have to test and see if the bag is held far enough away from the walls.

A pipe with holes was where I went first, then I realized you'd have to put more holes in it than would be practical. Because only a few holes would only improve suction by just the area of all the holes.

I still think a wire mesh cylinder is the best route.

Bagged Dyson DC40 mkII

I totally forgot to share this. So final video it being complete.
