Hi.
I'll share something with you friends. I've been hand-grinding-sanding a lot lately. Small proxxon tools aren't that loud - pen sander, disc sander, dremel tool don't make big noise, but using a vacuum cleaner to clear that dust for a long time is inconvenient for other family members, and doing it in the evening or even in the middle of the night is practically impossible, that's why i sand a lot by hand at night, and dust flies everywhere which starts to cause me problems.
I came up with a simple but brilliant idea, just added a 220V 12W bathroom fan with an air flow of 150m3/h to furnance air filter BOX with EU5 1uS cadridge, also i added a switch to it, it works when I want it to. Effect is powerful, it completely sucks in all dust from above the desk, and it's incredibly quiet. The entire cost of the project is 45€.
It is not suitable for extracting dust from big or heavy tools, but for manual cleaning it works perfectly, it sucks all the dust out of the air and you don't need to wear a dust mask. You can use it all night instead of a vacuum cleaner, its zero noice build.
I'll try to modify it somehow more, maybe carbon filter or second lower desk pipe, now it is 1.5m above desk and it does its job.
I'm posting this patent because it might be useful to someone.
