Building a silencer for a laser vacuum.

So, I've come up with a PVC system that cuts the noise down a whole bunch. It uses 4 and 6" PVC fittings and household batt insulation. This is the same principle of a gun silencer and it works very well.
My exhaust motors have 4" outlets, but any other size vacuum outlet could easily be muffled in the same way.

I'm sure he's not allowed to say, Alex...so you'll have to wait for the book to come out in about another 18 months.

Mike... I'm already reading the current book that is on the market. I thought I read him mentioning Loren in his book. Well... maybe not by name, but in description of words that cannot be repeated on a family channel. Those Navy folks use some "colorful" words to describe their "friends".

Ben, he built a removable box to fit over them. He made it out of the same material as the house and painted it to match. We may swap the green one out for another red one....

I wrote "friends", not friends... two different meanings... depending on which end of the barrel you are looking down.
