An Indian student has set a Guinness World Record by turning a ballpoint pen into the world's smallest vacuum cleaner.

Tapala Nadamuni (23 years old) spent up to 238 USD (about 5.9 million VND) to convert his pen into a vacuum cleaner that is only 0.65 cm long , not including the handle and power cord.

Nadamuni says the tiny machine creates suction using a tiny centrifugal fan powered by a 4-volt vibration motor. The world's smallest vacuum cleaner is fully capable of suction and can also be dumped.

According to UPI, Nadamuni himself held a similar record in 2020 when he created a vacuum cleaner measuring 0.85 cm.

Creating a strong enough suction was difficult for Nadamuni, who was forced to make further changes to the design when he encountered problems during testing.

Nadamuni's vacuum cleaner is largely made from a ballpoint pen , with the addition of a bit of plastic and metal.

'All the students at my school were amazed by this micro-vacuum cleaner. My faculty even said it was the most beautiful creation,' Nadamuni told Guinness World Records. Inventing gadgets has been Nadamuni's passion since he was a child.
