No this isn't the aftermath of a workshop accident
Thought some might find this interesting/amusing. I wouldn't condone it. His story explains that due to the ceiling height this was their only option.
Cheers.

hurcorh is that picture from a video somewhere? If it is I would like to watch it or read more of what he has to say.
In 2006 there was a discussion on the Knots forum, now gone but archived on the Fine Woodworking site, that had some discussion about mounting the ClearVue on an angle. Clear Vue Cyclone - FineWoodworking It's in the first 9 posts before becoming like any other discussion/argument over dust.
A while back on the ClearVue forum there were two systems in the Photo Gallery that had the cyclones on an angle. Unfortunately the Gallery was lost in a forum upgrade (sound familiar) and hasn't been put back.
There is an American company catering to the industrial market that had a short cone vertical cyclone much like the ones on the market and they have a horizontal version. Ground Plate (GPC) Cyclone Dust Collector | Aerodyne Environmental It isn't as efficient as the Pentz design with a cut point of 30 microns verses the 2 or 3 microns for Bill's.
It may just be me but an open mind, not one full of holes , can lead to improvements or alternatives.

Drat. Is there a way too see it without joining Instagram? I'll do it if I have to but would rather not.

what in particular do you want to know? I can summarise what he says but you could try going onto instagram without a login and see if you can see it I’m not sure if you can or not.

Thanks. If I join can I send him a message? Perhaps I could get him to send the video to me the old fashion way. Email.

Due to low ceiling height he has mounted the cyclone on this angle with the impeller on its side and a few extra bits and pieces to get it to work.

I understand that you can tilt them as much as 60deg and they still function. One of the advantages of the cyclone design is the smaller footprint inside a small workshop. You lose some of that advantage by tilting them.
Putting part or all of them outside can provide more headroom but not everyone has that option.
The option that Chris has shown is another way to go if you can make efficient use of the space below. I moved my extractor 'elsewhere' into a space that would otherwise be unused and that gained me the height of the motor...
I also shortened the bin height on mine to get enough head height to install a long cone cyclone in my workshop. Well, to be more precise, I tipped the bin over rather than the cyclone...
Shortening the bin height is an option that few seem to adopt. It just requires more discipline on checking and emptying.
Fully horizontal 'cyclones' are another thing altogether that are worth a discussion at some stage. The advantage for them in a small workshop would be that, other than the drop bin somewhere at floor level, they could be positioned above head height and use less of the floor space, which is at a premium.Stay sharp and stay safe!
