<p>In different embodiments, the techniques of this disclosure separate matter by using centrifugal force and geometric considerations. Centrifugal force pushes particulate out of an airflow or near a primary airflow boundary. The airflow is then or contemporaneously steered about a circuitous path to a clean-air exit port. The particulate is unable to be steered along the circuitous path due to the centrifugal force and, instead, is diverted to a collection area where it is collected with other particulate. The circuitous route that does not allow for particulate to remain in the primary airflow is established through geometric considerations such as boundary conditions imposed by the shape of the device itself.</p> |
