Title: Vaccum Boast
Post by: Ian Gourlay on October 12, 2012, 09:31:12 am

When I want extra power I tend to Link two Machines , but it can be a bit of a pain unless I leave them on the van

I know you can buy Vaccum Boosts but was wondering if it possible to make your own.

I remember years ago Mr H recond he made one from a biscuit tin

Not being a Fabricator I was thinking of mounting an additional motor in a wooden box but not sure if it would take off

i thought about this a while ago so i'll kook forward to the answers . the only hang up i'd have is your plugging an electrical home-made item into someones sockets . what if it blew up or caught fire . i think your insurance would be null and void

Buy an Mytee Air Hog.

Pump out and filtration with them too.

I believe there is now a twin motor version also.

Depends on what machine you want to boost ...
Its it single or twin vac , series or parallel  ?

An inline booster would be tricky to fabricate as u have to build a waste tank ith fittings ....
Better just buying one id say  ,  as mentioned above the Mytee with APO would be great   :)

A series booster ( connected to the vac exhausts )  could just be a motor in a box / toolbox  .... or better still if boosting a twin parallel machine ... two motors in a toolbox  :)  

i do that but as hector said i want one that hovers ;D guess  i will abandon idea as i do not saw straighr
