RE: Making a cheap dust collection system

but the air cant reside in the drum....
The vacuum only sucks, lets assume the hose gets stuck you get a bigger vacuum, never a high positive pressure.

Lets say i put a pump on it to make positive pressure in the barrel than the lid will just go up...The lid isn´t fixed, it stays in place only if there is a vacuum

Sort:  

Okay that's nice. Now, if you have a barometer, try getting the air pressure reading inside the drum. But, I'll assume it will below 14 PSIA in a proper vacuum.

Yes, you are right, I supposed the lid jerking as the pressure building phenomenon, but now I am feeling it was due to vibration in the pipe. Thanks for more explanation.
