A 23-year-old student from India, Tapala Nadamuni, has secured a place in the Guinness World Records by creating the world’s smallest vacuum cleaner, measuring just 0.65 cm—less than the width of an average small fingernail. This remarkable achievement surpasses the previous record by 0.2 cm, which was established in 2022.
Nadamuni’s innovative vacuum is primarily constructed from a refillable ballpoint pen and features a miniature rotating fan, powered by a four-volt vibration motor that generates suction. When plugged into a power source, the vacuum emits a whirring sound as it effectively sucks up dust particles, which can later be emptied from the device.
According to Guinness World Records, a vacuum cleaner is defined as an electrically powered device that collects debris using suction created by negative internal pressure. Nadamuni’s design adheres to this definition, demonstrating both functionality and creativity.
Currently studying architecture at the Patna National Institute of Technology, Nadamuni has been inventing gadgets since childhood. “All the students in our college were amazed at this tiny vacuum cleaner, and my faculty told me that it’s the most beautiful creation they’ve ever seen,” he shared.
For the record measurement, the vacuum cleaner’s size is assessed based on the shortest axis of its body, excluding the dimensions of the handle and power cord. Nadamuni previously held the record for a 1.76-cm vacuum cleaner developed in 2022. Since then, he has dedicated his efforts to refining his design, resulting in two previous attempts that did not meet the record requirements before finally achieving success.
