Mounting motor upside down and to the side (Plenum)
I'm pressed for height in my shipping container workshop and noticed this method of mounting the blower while re-reading Bill Pentz' build instructions which might allow me to use a larger collection bin than the piddling little box I'll currently have to use and empty every 2 minutes.
It's the alternative method on the right that I'm interested in...assuming it doesn't mess with the efficiency of the unit.
What the heck is that plenum thing at the top?
And what sort of dimensions/radius do I build it to for a 20" cyclone and 12" blower opening?
