The Vacuum Cleaner

The vacuum cleaner (or the hoover as they know it in the UK) is a device that uses a motor to push air from a chamber, reducing the air presure and hence creating a partial vacuum. That partial vacuum is used to draw air or water up into the chamber and past a filter (in most cases) before it reaches the motor and air/water output. The filters trap dust and debree 'cleaning' the air or water - hence the name vacuum cleaner. - Phew, you didn't already know that did you ;) And I'm sure you don't really care that Ives W. McGaffey invented it or just how to get that stubborn stain from your carpet! Of course things have moved on from the first vacuums and the leading technology these days is the Dyson cyclone vacuums - no fliters yeah!
