few junk parts to build a wet spill attachment <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrgSlbnjy-U> for the vacuum we already have?
when I heard about the issue in more detail now, I thought: why don't we build a much better vacuum cleaner ourselves? Actually I would want a cleaner with wet-capability myself. There is a good design, that employs liquid cleaning / gas washing of the air called "Orcy", that was presented to me.
I envision a design, that combines the idea of the Dyson, a cyclone, for the coarse mud with the idea of the Orcy, a gas washer, for excellent fine filtering, if it's done right. For prototyping of the air-nozzels 3D-printing will work nicely and a sketch is in my head...
Other requirements: *) very quiet *) robust & repairable *) relatively cheap
By designing a good centrifugal fan and strapping standard vacuum cleaner tubes/hoses and floor-nozzles to a newly engineered body, this should be achievable.
