Who created the world's smallest vacuum cleaner: it's less than a centimeter
We are all accustomed to the fact that a vacuum cleaner cannot be called a compact device.
This stereotype was destroyed by a 23-year-old resident of India, Tapala Nadamuni, who created the world's smallest vacuum cleaner, which was included in the Guinness Book of Records.
The invention cost the Indian college student $238.
Basically, the vacuum cleaner is made from a regular ballpoint pen. Tapala placed a tiny rotating fan inside the device.
It is driven by a 4-volt vibration motor.
Despite its microscopic size, which, by the way, is only 0.65 centimeters, the vacuum cleaner is quite functional and can collect dust particles.
If you have any questions about how exactly the measurements were taken, here's the answer: the device was measured along the shortest axis of its body - the length of the handle and power cord were not taken into account.
It is also worth noting that Nadamuni already won the title of record holder (in the same category) in 2020 – back then, the vacuum cleaner he created measured 1.76 centimeters.
True, in 2022 the record was broken, and now, two years later, Tapala was able to regain his title.
