In this video I will try to overpower my old vacuum cleaner. The problem is that its internal battery pack gave up and the suction power of the motor also somehow decreased. So in this video I will try to 3D print my own turbine/impeller and combine that with a BLDC motor in order to renew my old vacuum cleaner so that I do not have to throw it in the garbage. Let's get started!
