So it sucks _and_ blows? If it somehow routes the blown air through a filter, possibly; but crumbly, messy bun is pending an elaborate, long-winded, and convoluted explanation. |
|

It would really have to suck (big time) if it hovers above the floor- to really gather any dirt...It might just go into flight! |
|
| |
Not sure about that -- what if we simply used
brushes to actually pick up the dirt? |
|
| |
A more ambitious idea might be to use a Dyson array
along the skirt of the hovercraft |
|
| |
I think it's going to require catching the dust that is
blown up by the blower. Either that, or a few
schnozzleappendages. But I don't really think it's
appropriate to discuss those on a family website like
this. |

very cool -- thanks spidermother for that link. The
capability having been established, let's remember
that the idea is for one that a kid could ride on. |

Yep, we had one of those Hoovers. A purple one, I think, sort of like the one in my link. It was fun the first couple of times you used it, but the novelty wore off pretty quickly after that. |
|
| |
Eventually I discovered I could turn it over and inflate dry cleaning bags with hot air, then launch them up the stairwell. |
|
| |
wait, it went up the stairwell itslef? |
|
| |
As the adverts say, "It's a lot less bother with a
hother." |

as did the paint, IIRC. |
