INtroduction
What is Vacuum cleaner?
- It is a electrical device relying on rotational mechanism to generate
suction in order to collect light dust.
BACKGROUND INFO
- John Turman is the first person to
invent a gasoline vacuum cleaner in
1898
- we wanted to make vacuum cleaner
because table on the physics lab always
full of eraser dust
- vacuum cleaner is very useful but a
little expensive, so we try to make it by
ourselves using recycled materials
OBJECTIVE
- To apply the knowledge from accelerated physics course to real world
situation and engineering

- To apply the knowledge about transformation of energy from

chemical to electric energy to mechanical energy.

- To build on the knowledge that we currently have: making vacuum

cleaner.

sET-UP
DISCUSSION OF DESIGN
1. Draw a line on the bottle to divide the section of bottle.
2. Cut the top and bottom parts of the 1.5-L soda bottle.
3. Connect the top and the bottom part together.
4. Cut the head and the bottom of the spray can.
5. Cut it in half and make it flat
6. Measure the size of the flat can by using the cut-bottle.
7. Divide the circular flat can into eight section (like a turbine)
8. Cut the flat can until 1 centimeter away from the middle
9. Make a hole in the middle of the turbine
10. Put the motor in the hole by using clay to stick it
DISCUSSION OF DESIGN
11. Use the drill to make holes on the lid of the bottle and at the bottom
of the bottle.
12. Connect the wires to the motor.
13. Put the wires through the side hole of the lid and pull it until the lid
touch the motor.
14. Stick the lid to the motor.
15. Put the wires through the hole at the bottom of the bottle.
16. Stick the motor to the bottom of the bottle
17. Shape a circular wire from a metal stick.
18. Stick the filter cloth on the circular wire
DISCUSSION OF DESIGN
19. Stick it to another side of the bottle.
20. Use the top part of the bottle to close the bottom part
21. Make the handle and stick it to the vacuum
22. Cut the flexible pipe and stick it to the mouth of the bottle
23. Decorate the vacuum.
DATA & RESULT

BATTERY RESULT

1.5V x 4 = 6.0 V not enough suction, cannot collect dust

9.0V x 3 = 27.0V enough suction to collect only little dust

9.0V x 5 = 45.0V enough suction to proficiently collect many size of dust.

ANALYSIS
DATA
According to our experiment, to create a vacuum cleaner
requires a certain level of suction in order to suck the little dust in. The
suction is directly proportional to the rate of spinning of the motor is a
little bit too slow due to the resistance of the motor is unknown and we
are afraid that if we go for more number of batteries, it will break. Our
initial attempt with the power source of 6V could not generate enough
suction to collect any dust at all. We improved by add the battery, adding
the total voltage up to 27V. The improved model of vacuum cleaner
created enough suction to pull up the dust, yet, the result still wasn’t
satisfied. Again, 18V more power source was then added. The motor with
45V is now able to proficiently collect the dust.
 RELATION BETWEEN
PRODUCT & PHYSICS CONCEPT
PRINCIPLE OF MOTOR
- The Armature is use to spin the motor.
- The principle of the two magnets, that
opposite poles attract and like poles repel.
It uses this principle to create torque, or
the rotational force.The magnetic field is
responsible for creating force while the
electric motor is in motion.
- The electricity (the current) is moving
through the wire create a circular magnetic
field with the wire as a source to rotate
the motor.
PRINCIPLE OF MOTOR
ELECTRIC CIRCUIT
Two Type of Circuit

1.) Series Circuit

- One pathways that allow current to flow
- The current is the same in every resistor
- The voltage is difference depend on the
amount of the resistance of the resistor
2.) Parallel Circuit
- Multiple pathways that allow current to
flow
- The current is difference depend on the
pathways.
- The voltage is the same in all of the
pathways.
 TRANSFORMATION OF
ENERGY
In 19th century, Rudolf Clausius invent
The First Law of Thermodynamics. According to
the first law of Thermodynamic, also know as
Law of Conservation Energy.

Chemical Energy Electrical Energy Magnetic Energy Mechanical Energy

CONCLUSION
Our team’s goal is creating an useable device, the vacuum cleaner, by
applying physics concepts that we have explored. The vacuum cleaner
itself involves circular motion, electric energy, electric circuit, and
transformation of energy. We successfully carry out the reduced scale
of vacuum cleaner that can be actually used to clean up the room.
Although the process of working is not as simple as we expected, we have
solved the problem together and finally achieve our goal. Beside the
physics concept, we have learnt leadership, planning, responsibility, and
dedication.
RECOMMENDATION
This DIY version of vacuum cleaner that we built was a reduced scale
of the actual vacuum cleaner. Even though the capacity of the cleaner is
smaller, but it is more convenient as well. In the future, we would like to
build vacuum cleaner with stronger materials. Besides, we have been also
concerned about the different usages of the vacuum cleaner, so we
believe that building different sizes of vacuum cleaner can serve the
purpose of each individual task.
