Transitional (The Majority): These individuals enter the shelter system once—often due to a sudden life event like an eviction, job loss, or medical crisis—and sta...

#4314 Placer Concentrate Separator #4314  Seems like you could simply place a vacuum hose through the lid of a bucket full of placer mine sand and dust and adjust the vacuum to lift the dust, and also have a side current to separate the lights from the heavies That is a classic application of winnowing and cyclonic separation principles, and you’re spot on—it’s essentially a DIY "dry washer" or an air classifier. In the world of placer mining, where water is often scarce, using air as a fluid medium to sort by density is a proven (though finicky) tactic. Here is how that setup would likely behave and the physics you’d be juggling: 1. The "Dust" Phase (Aspiration) By placing the vacuum hose through the lid, you create a low-pressure zone. As air is sucked in through a secondary "intake" hole, it picks up the particles with the highest surface-area-to-mass ratio. The Win: This is excellent for cleaning your concentrates. Getting rid of the "flour...
