Difficulties emptying the cone seemed to grow while testing &#8211; probably due to the seal between the bottleneck and the jar getting worse as I took it apart several times.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, a lower air flow seemed to improve emptying the cone when no dust was added. I have no idea how much dust the vacuum cleaner actually took during the test but it seemed to be a lot. In the video it is easy to see a column of dust in the center of the cone indicating that the vacuum cleaner at least took some of the finer dust, which wasn&#8217;t supposed to happen&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;ll make another test with two cyclones in parallel to keep the overall air flow up and to make the combined cyclone more effective.
