Created by Tom Mannington, a junior designer/visualizer from the UK-based Trueform Group, the Friction Vacuum Cleaner is a stunning new household product concept that doesn’t use any electricity to operate but still utilizes a vacuum fan system that is in effect, more competent than a conventional floor sweeping accessory. A part of the designer’s major design project, the vacuum cleaner features a snail casing around the fan. This increases the speed of the air by the fan while a flywheel/clutch bearing system keeps the fan spinning when the wheels are driving it.

A specialized gearing system in the main gearbox allows the drive to turn 90 degrees which increases the gearing ratio at the same time. A 6:1 drive ratio from the main wheels to the drive axel and an 8:1 drive ratio from the gearbox to the fan technically is enough to provide the fan with an RPM of 6000 which stands somewhere near half the capacity of a standard electric leaf blower.
