Hovering Vacuum Cleaner

Millions of housewives all over the world can not imagine their lives without vacuum cleaners today, in spite of the fact that these very useful machines have a range of defects. The bigger defect is that the vacuum cleaners often spoil the floor by their wheels. Millions of housewives certainly thought more than once that it would be great if the vacuum cleaners could hover in the air.
After 8 years of laborious work, such a dream was fulfilled by 44-year old Scottish inventor – Mike Rooney. Earlier Mike sold vacuum cleaners, but now he has developed a flying device for cleaning. Of course, the «Air Rider» – this is a name of new machine – is not a fairy-tale carpet-plain, and one cannot fly by it. Nevertheless, this wheelless vacuum cleaner, in spite of a solid 5 kg weight, can hover 3,5 mm high over the floor. This is not enough to talk about a real flight, and almost imperceptible by human eyes, but quite enough to not scratch the floor. Moreover, the «Air Rider» makes the work essentially easier, because to move it through the room, one should make quite less efforts, than during the work with usual models of even very light vacuum cleaners.
A device that allows a wonderful vacuum cleaner to hover in the air is located at the bottom of machine. The air is sucked by vacuum cleaner and goes out of it on a very high speed, that allows it to slightly lift over the surface. Circulation speed is over 320 km/h. This is higher than speed of the most sophisticated model of «Ferrari» – «Ferrari Modena», which can gather speed «only» to 290 km/h. Such a high speed is provided by 1400 W power engine, protected from overheating by a special thermal device.
There is no doubt that Mike Rooney's invention will have a desirable future and great commercial success. Optimistic expectations are confirmed by a long queue of 80(!) countries, which is interested in wonder-machine and willing to produce it. But the first who will use the «Air Rider» will be British housewives. The «Ospri» company from Skarboro has started to produce the hovering vacuum cleaners. The «Air Rider» appeared in the shops of foggy Albion in November, 2004. Anyone who wishes can buy it for about £250.
