Well if it was a Craftsman shop-vac, it would make perfect sense...
they have no problem claiming they can get 5 or more horsepower out
of a 120V outlet! That level of power is achieved by using an old

Well, if the exhaust port of the Craftsman shop-vac is exposed to a vacuum,
and the inlet of the Craftsman shop-vac is located in a hyperbaric chamber,
then it could easily generate five or more horsepower. g
