The 2020 BMW X6 excels in the very niche it created more than ten years ago. Back then, the first-gen X6 was polarizing, to say the least. But it found its way into garages of people who embraced the concept of a sportier type of SUV: in fact, the X6 has been one of BMW’s best sellers for the past … Continue reading

We have seen YouTubers do crazy stuff, make or break something. But, a flying vacuum cleaner?
It seems like Peter Sripol (the YouTuber) has built a vacuum cleaner that can fly.
To start with the project, he purchased a cheap vacuum cleaner on Amazon for less than $100 and tweaked it further.
It didn’t take a lot of electronic items to put together the robot but it was the result of a few parts to make it an airborne robot.
Practically, it is able to blast dust off the surfaces it flies over. However, you should not expect it to be useful.
You can take a look at it in action in the video below:
While this looks interesting, this is still not a feasible solution for an average consumer. However, if you are a tinkerer, you can spend a few hundred dollars extra to transform a cheap vacuum cleaner into something interesting.
Even though it is not a very useful invention – it is still something that could potentially hint at useful airborne vacuum cleaners?
Not just limited to that, we could also keep an eye on the YouTuber for more interesting proofs-of-concept for any other gadget. What do you think about it?
