A table saw, band saw, router, table sander or even a skill saw put out more dust than a small pyramidal structure is able to attract with static electricity. It could, however, be useful in the pictured context of hand sanding on a bench but the amount of sawdust produced would be easily picked up with a shop vacuum after the job is finished. Sorry I just don't see this as a viable solution. cheers, ben interesting idea but I think a well set up dust collection system does a better job because it is capable of sucking more sawdust directly from your tools than this design seams to be able to do.

The idea is that the higher the static charge build up the more dust that can be collected. Every now and again you would have to empty it tho. It should once it has been tested properly.

The static charge holds the saw dust on. and you can release the charge by pressing the top button, allowing the dust to fall off.

It dose need to be worked on by a good engineer to become functional tho. ç The idea is to contain the static electricity by covering it in a layer of plastic, to stop discharge, but still have the ability to attract dust.
