How is a vacuum cleaner like a real tornado?

Both a vacuum cleaner and a tornado generate low pressure that pulls air inward.


Does a vacuum cleaner work in space?

No. First of all it wouldn't stay on the ground. and why would you need to vacuum?A vacuum cleaner depends on a difference in air pressure to operate. With no air pressure in space, there could be no difference in air pressure and thus no operation.Inside a manned spacecraft, which is usually pressurized a vacuum cleaner will obviously work just fine; especially for collecting and disposing of water globules. Also the standard NASA space toilet uses a modification of a vacuum cleaner for urine collection.


Can a vacuum cleaner work in a vacuum?

a vacuum cleaner uses air to create suction. in a vacuum there is no air. Therefore, the aswer is NO.


How is the vacuum created in a vacuum cleaner?

Although it is called a vacuum cleaner, it does not actually create a vacuum. Inside the cleaner there is an electric motor which drives a fan blade. This fan blows air out of the vacuum cleaner and this causes air to be drawn in to the cleaner at the other end. Thus the cleaner works by creating an air flow, not a vacuum.


Is there oxygen in a vacuum?

No there is no air in a vacuum cleaner


Is a vacuum cleaner more like a hair dryer?

No. A vacuum cleaner sucks in air. A hair dryer blows out air.


How is pressure used in vacuum cleaners?

Air pressure out of the vacuum's exhaust automatically creates a negative pressure (a vacuum) at the machines front end - that picks up the dirt.


How does a vacuum cleaner work including pressure?

The vacuum cleaner pushes out all of the air particles in the dust tank in it, forming a small vacuum, which pulls on to small weighting objects like dust, which gets absorbed into the tank, and can't go out because it is big to filter through holes like air particles do.


How does a vacuum filter work?

The filter in a vacuum cleaner separates dust from air. Air is allowed to pass through whereas dust is trapped by the filter and caught in the bag/cylinder of the vacuum cleaner.


What make of vacuum cleaner is best for minimizing dust in the air?

The make of vacuum is not as important as making sure that the vacuum cleaner is a HEPA vacuum. This stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air. They remove around 99.97% of allergens in furniture and carpets.


Why is a vacuum cleaner called a vacuum cleaner?

The machine gets its name from the fact that the fan in the unit moves air and creates a low pressure pathway (a vacuum, though a partial one) that is open at the nozzle (or hose, when using accessories). Air rushes in at the opening of the pathway, and that moving air picks up debris. The air and dirt is then carried to a filter or bag, and the air get out to be returned to the room. Debris is left in the dirt tank or in the bag for disposal.


How can you use vacuum in a sentence?

Use the vacuum cleaner to remove loose dirt from the carpet. OR: The vacuum cleaner works by pumping air out through the exhaust ports and reducing the air pressure within its dust chamber, thereby causing air of relatively higher (atmospheric) pressure to rush inward through the end of the vacuum cleaner's hose to achieve equilibrium, dragging dust and debris with it into the dust chamber. OR: Having extracted as much air as possible from a sealed vessel, the vessel could be considered to contain a vacuum. OR: If one were to enucleate a bubble of 'true vacuum' in normal space, the boundaries of that bubble would expand outward at near-light velocities, essentially obliterating normal space (converting it to true vacuum, wherein matter as we know it cannot exist).
