I'm not very keen on the use of violent inductive loads in laptop or computer USB ports, but this vacuum does yield acceptable results when used with a USB power bank. This video features the mass consumption of humble pie as I jump to reckless conclusions twice.
This vacuum also features a very hot transistor used in a rather odd and minimalist way to bring the thing slightly nearer USB compliance. And I use the word "compliance" very loosely indeed.

    "a boost button."

    Depends on your definition of boost.

    Sometimes the simple circuits are the most baffling. But anyone who can design them consistently will always have a job.

    Clive, I know this is three years late, but….if it were a linear regulator, while the motor would run more slowly, the total current draw would have remained unchanged.

    Very common on eBay

    I’m actually so glad I discovered this channel, it’s so fascinating

    That transistor makes no sense. Isn't it just working like a power resistor?

    Jeez, it has a piece of heat shrink tubing for a hose.

    I imagine bigclive just wondering the aisles of poundland looking for his next video
