Abstract
A system and method for a vacuum driven separating device is disclosed.
Claims16
An apparatus for separating gold from a mixture, the apparatus comprising:
- a separating device housing;
- an air intake port on a first end of the separating device housing for receiving a mixture;
- an air outlet port on a second end of the separating device housing;
- an air vacuum source attached to the outlet port;
- a spin wheel having a plurality of spin blades mounted radially around a spin wheel axis, wherein the spin wheel is configured to spin under the influence the air entering the air intake port and striking the spin blades;
- and
- an eccentric weight attached to the spin wheel axis configured to cause a vibration in the separator housing.
