Home-made dust separators often suffer from the same deficiency. Dust makes it through the separator proportional to the dust collected by the separator. As dust fills the container, the airflow agitates the settled dust as it is in nearer proximity. While the separator may operate at 99% efficiency when empty, as it fills, efficiency may drop to 70% or lower.
This project solves this problem with the addition of a baffle (which has been done many times before), along with an extended outflow pipe with many smaller holes drilled in its side to disperse the outflow pressure. As you will see, this allows for high efficiency, even when near-full.
