Open Source Vacuum Cleaner

Basic Concept

This would most likely be a shop vac/central vac design due to size constrains.

Minimum Viable Product:

- Strong Suction that is capable of most if not all cleaning/shop machinery needs

- Heavily Modular Design + User Repairability

- High Durability

- High Filtration (HEPA or ULPA)

- Usage of Cyclonic filtration to make filters more of a back up, and thus less filter replacements

- Multiple Power Sources (DC and/or Ac)

- Fully Open Source Design

Industry Standards
