Vacuum cleaner Wand handle and
brushbar controls

IN A CONVENTIONAL VACUUM CLEANER, an electric motor Upper wand
spins a fan that sucks in air carrying dust and debris. The air
is forced through tiny pores in a dust bag, trapping most
particles. In the 1990s, James Dyson’s dual cyclone “bagless”
design did away with the dust bag—and the reduced airflow Lower wand
caused by clogging of its pores. An electrically driven fan

creates a partial vacuum within the machine. This sucks air brushbar
into the machine past a rotating brush that loosens dirt. The floor tool
air flows into a cylinder-shaped bin. As the air whirls around
the bin like a miniature storm, or cyclone, larger particle
are flung outward and fall to the bottom of the bin. The
air then passes through perforations into a cone-shaped
inner bin and then into a series of smaller cones, spinning
faster all the time and flinging smaller and smaller particle
out. The nearly clean air exits the
machine through microfilters that
