Car as vacuum source for vacuum forming?
I once had someone suggest using my car as a vacuum source for a home made vacuum forming machine. Realistically, I'd only use it for large pieces, requiring high volume flow. Use an electric pump (maybe a venturi system) otherwise. Can anyone see any downsides to this idea? If not, any advice on a good way to tap into the vacuum system? Alternately I might just add a tank as a buffer. Charge it up for a big part. Also wondered if a hybrid system might be a good idea: shop vac to get most of the air out and then a smaller flow vacuum pump to get the rest. Thanks for any info/ideas.
