BakVac: Ergonomic Vacuuming Powered Via Fuel Cell

cell_vac.jpgWhy drag around that 30 pound vacuum cleaner around the house when you could easily wear it as a backpack? Throw in a eco-friendly fuel battery to make it completely wireless? Sounds to us like a practical idea. It would probably be a few years until we see a working model, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.

The backpack idea is as great one, but not new. If you've ever worked in the janitorial business, they are found there in a commercial form, although ya still gotta plug 'em in the wall tho.

You'd be super motivated to change the bag/receptacle regularly, or you pay with an extra workout while vacuuming!
