I'm sure they'll be able to improve it and get the noise down. Even if they can't and the stealth side is out, it will still have a lot of uses. |

Really nice idea, though I don't see it working in a combat situation, way too loud. |

@dm2754: I don't think that ladder can *quite* reach the 90+ feet that their device can.  |

The first thing was obvious to many. My hope would be that a project like this would give us a much quieter vacuum pump if nothing else. |

"Stealthy, covert ops" Yeah right! With a couple of vacuum cleaners strapped to your hands, nobody's gonna hear you coming, right? |

Also, walls are not always that flat, so you might have problems with the suction. |

Ya, when I want to sneak about the house I strap a shop-vac on my back, flip it on, and BAM no one knows where I am.
Exactly. Then you can slip away under cover of afternoon never to be seen by the enemy. |

A wide range of uses including stealthy and covert ops? Ya, when I want to sneak about the house I strap a shop-vac on my back, flip it on, and BAM no one knows where I am. |

And all you need is a noisy vacuum on your back to get those stealth kills... |
