According to Guinness World Records, Indian university student Tapala Nadamuni, 23, broke the Guinness record by creating a vacuum cleaner that was only 0.65 cm wide. It is 0.2cm smaller than the record set by itself in 2020 and smaller than the width of the baby nail.
On the record, a vacuum cleaner was defined as an electrically powered device that picks up foreign substances by suction due to internal pressure.
The vacuum cleaner made by Tafala can also be operated.
He made a vacuum with a ballpoint pen and some plastic and metal pieces.
Inside the vacuum, there is a small rotating fan powered by a 4-volt vibration motor that can inhale foreign substances.
When connected to a power source, the vacuum cleaner can make a 'winging' sound to suck up dust particles and empty foreign substances.
He spent about 20,000 rupees (about 320,000 won) to make the vacuum cleaner.
Inventing devices has been a hobby since he was a child, he said. "Every student at my university was surprised to see this little vacuum cleaner, and the faculty is the most beautiful creation I've ever seen."," he said.
