line


IIRC this coming up before in rec.ww, and the concensus was that
unless the units are PERFECTLY matched, one of them ends up sucking
sawdust out of the other one.

Nobody recommended connecting them.


Unless you also double the capacity of the tubes, you will in any case
lose most of the extra sucking power to friction caused by the
increased speed of the air transport if you connect them.
This friction increases quadratically compared to the speed increase.
