Data and Analysis:

We did a small test on our mini vacuum cleaner. We found that only small and light dust and dirt can be sucked in. This is may be because of the poor power supply. so we increase the power supply from 9v to 18v. But still the suction of dirt was not so efficient. This is because of the computer fan that we used. The motor of the computer fan did not provide a fast spin. Fast spinning will be able to suck up bigger dirt due to the higher pressure. Unfortunately we couldnt find any other kind of fan to be fixed in our mini vacuum cleaner. Other than this, we try to modify our vacuum cleaner by using a bottle cup. This bottle cup was attached with an electric motor. When the motor spin, the bottle cup also spins and bouncing occur here. This bouncing effect makes our vacuum cleaner to move. Our mini vacuum cleaner keep rotating at the same place and not moving around randomly in smooth surfaces. But in rough surfaces it can move around randomly. We decrease the diameter of the bottle cup and now it moves in a wider range. The toothbrush that we attached below the vacuum cleaner help to clean the dirt more efficiently. Some modification can be done to improve our mini vacuum cleaner. For example, by changing the computer fan into a better fan with higher spinning speed. Next, by changing the electric motor into a more higher powered motor. All this improvements can help our vacuum cleaner to suck in more dirt and also bigger dust.
