Power Glide
How can I power a vacuum cleaner with a battery, if my cleaner works with: 120 V~, 50/60Hz, 3.4A,Peak HP: 1.75
I'm making a home made hovercraft( a circular shaped gliding device), which uses a vacumm cleaner to provide the air cushion that makes it glide. But the celaner's wires get in the way while glading, so I want to power my vacuum with a bettery, so to make it wireless. THANKS!
You will need one heck of a battery!
Most batteries don't give you more than about 12V, so you will need a transformer to up the voltage. You'll also need an inverter, to change your DC battery to the AC output that you require.
Both of these devices are available at most decent electronic stores, and won't be prohibitively expensive, but aren't necessarily cheap. There's also (electrical) losses associated with transforming and inverting the current, and you will find that you can't run the hovercraft for long at 3.4A.
You will do well to lift the weight of the battery against its own weight, I think! We'd be interested to hear how you get on.
