All of
the previous components come together beautifully in one single housing to
create a well-functioning and highly demanded at home device. To analyze the overall
physics of the vacuum, one more piece must be considered: The fan blades within
the vacuum.
This was
left until the end as it is the most important aspect of the vacuum cleaner as
an individual. The fan (consisting of tilted rotors like an airplane), rotates
at high speeds generating a vacuum within the housing. It does this by forcing
air forward toward the exhaust port, dropping the air pressure level behind the
fan which creates a space of air that needs to be filled. Matter naturally
travels towards spaces of low density, and so a vacuum is created.
