How do vacuum cleaners REALLY work?

A video discussing the deeper science behind how vacuum cleaner technology works. It’s intended to be watched linearly and more than once. There are chapters to help with referencing and subsequent rewatches below. Leave a comment if you need anything clarifying. The key takeaway message from this video is that the removal of dirt from carpets is influenced by three factors. Firstly, is the active aerodynamic properties associated with the motor and cleaner head—namely suction and airspeed. Secondly is the properties of the dirt particles, namely their shape, size, and mass. And thirdly, the properties of the carpet the dirt is trapped in, including how to manipulate it to maximise the airspeed embedded particles experience and to prevent particle netting in the flow. The aerodynamic drag force applied to particles is dominated by the airspeed. This is controlled exclusively by the suction pressure in the flow. It is not controlled by the total airflow. Significant leakage air that increases airflow into the cleaner head actually reduces suction pressure and cleaning performance. Large motor air powers provide the means to sustain high suction pressures, even with large leakage airflows. Good cleaner head design agitates pile by flexing to release netted dirt and helps maximise airspeed at depth to improve dirt removal efficiency. Cleaning reduces dirt levels in carpets but never fully removes it all. The dirt is then separated from the air inside the machine using ever more effective and efficient means, and cleaner air is expelled. Look out for content on the internet suggesting higher airflow rather than suction pressure is important for dirt removal from carpets. This lack of understanding of science is often manifested in irrelevant measurements of the total airflow entering the machine from the open hose, or measurements of suction pressure at the open hose, rather than actual careful measurements of comparative dirt removal profiles.
