Grinder Powered Blower

This Blower/Vacuum powered by a grinder is worthless. It comes down to RPMs. That being said I wouldn't trust that plastic fan spinning any faster. Just another fake tool demo in the bag.

[@clockworkvanhellsing372]

Check 6:45 they didn't manage to mold the fanblades in the correct direction, costing them at least 2/3 of the performance of that thing. edit: i've got to increase the loss to 95%

Personally, this is only the second attachment I can recall seeing _(this, and chainsaw)._ I think I've seen more for cordless drills lately... _(chainsaw, sheetmetal nibbler, and 2 others I couldn't be bothered to remember lol)_ I'm surprised they haven't made a weed whacker attachment...

[@clockworkvanhellsing372]

6:46 without having seen the rest of the video. That thing would probably work 3 times as good if they had molded the fan blades in the propper direction. I mean the base idear might have been not to bad. A powerfull motor at decent rpm might make a good drive for a radial fan (as long as the blades don't go flying from the radial forces) but the terrible execution ducked it up. edit: okay it was a 95% performance loss from the wrong fan blade direction.

[@theghostfacekza4549]

[@colinmain5641]

The point of the grinder blower conversion is it is designed NOT to be too powerful. That way if you take some used cat litter it blows the litter off, (into a suitable receptacle for re use) leaving the turds and , hey presto, a Chinese grinder conversion for recycling cat litter and leaving you with just the cat-toffee! (Which you then dispose of by putting in your neighbours bin, their car sunroof, letterbox etc). The other blower blows both the litter AND the cat-tods! A disaster for the cost conscious cat lover. This is an Ingenious invention.

I've been using these mini-blowers (unmodified) to remove the dust from inside the PC cases. The low flow means no damage to certain sensitive parts that can bend and make a possible short circuit, also they're cheap asF. Tip: remember to disconnect everything that is connected to something inside your PC case before doing anything related to maintenance / repair.

Yeah, if they're gonna use that kind of impeller they need more velocity, but that takes either diameter or rpm. The cheap kind of electric leafblower looks a bit like that, but a somewhat bigger diameter at a fair amount higher rpm and doesn't explode too much.
