Lunar Project This vacuum is made to specifically pick up lunar dust. This is made to pick up dust from the south side of the moon to the base. There is a battery attached to the tires to create a magnetic field to prevent it from sticking to the holding tank. To make it stick to the moon and not float off we did the weight of the tires and the electromagnetic field is what prevents it from not floating off the moon. The device probably weighs up to 8,000 pounds, the holding tank can hold 100 pounds of moon dust thus decreasing the amount of trips required.
