Re: Venturi Pumps

We also experimented with a cheap small Shop Vac (assuming we'd replace the motor with one approved by FRC).

It generated a lot of flow, but very little vacuum - about 1/3 what the venturi generators could do. If we went that route we'd need vacuum cups with 3x the surface area.
