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
Basic Design
In order from top to bottom:

4. Removable Dirt Reservoir
5. HEPA/ULPA Filtration Module
6. (Optional) Activated Carbon Module
7. Motor + Fan Assembly
8. Power Supply + User Interface
