Thought you guys might find this interesting... 
I finished my leaf vacuum and in half a day saved myself a week of raking... 

It's powered from a 3.5hp lawn mover engine, purchased for $20... 
The impeller I CNC milled from 6061-t6 1/4inch aluminum and 1/2 inch nylon for the vanes... 
As it's well balanced there is very little vibration and it hasn't torn itself apart yet... lol

There is another $16 for the two pieces of duct and the 5" hose I already had... 
In the picture it is running as the bed sheet filter is inflated...
