robotmaker-I'll consider it when I get to that point but I'm not there yet

Bret- I sealed up the vacuum so I don't want to break it back apart but I have a couple ideas to cut the noise nearly in half. I can seal up the original vent holes and cut a hole on the inside and let it vent into the torso. I could put a small muffler on the end of that vent tube but the little guy won't be silent.

I could try to open it up from the inside as much as possible and apply dynamat , we will see if there is enough space to apply strips inside the motor housing.

Mel- yes! UV light sounds like an excellent idea! Turns out oreck halo uses UV to disinfect but its a pricy vacuum.

It's 2am so I might tinker for a little while or shop for parts....:)

Parts - UV Germacidal lamps found! 12v 3watt bulbs maybe I could do two of these over my vacuum head in Jarviss base and two in juniors base maybe right behind the brush. They are small , easy to replace and only require a 12v socket to be wired up.

BRET i bought the complete series of lost in space,been awhile since i seen it JARVIS in the movie is just a computer,JOSH ARE YOU LOOKING AT ADDING HIS VOICE can also add steam cleaning to your OMNIVAC,so it can steam clean and vacuum UV light mostly good for tile floors,but can kinda work on carpets ,but not great also dont give up on the DIRT SENSOR i sent you,still hopping to test it and get it working,so busy at home with many projects,good news no work projects

I considered steam but the steam uses about 1000 watts to create enough heat and the steam could damage the onboard computer , so at most I would do a sprayer and squeegee setup.

Yeah, steam probably isn't a good idea. Actually, moisture at all near your electronics could be problematic. A swiffer wet jet assembly might not be too bad, it is pretty self contained.

#1463  

thats about what i am thinking of using on mine ,the wet jet,but with mine looking to push the wet jet not have a attach,to much stuff is a OVERKILL

mostly telling JOSH about the steam because he also looking to add more and more to his robot seems it never ends,steam take way to much power and heat will riun the electronics

JOSH lights came in for my omnibot eyes,blue led with a screw in socket,just remove the factory bulb and put in a blue led ,low cost ,it has high output thought it might be a idea for you,using it on mine ,very bright whats great about using these led lights dont need to change the socket on the omnibot eyes
