Shop vac/cyclone self emptying - Pirate - 02-14-2017

Somewhere online I saw a shop vac dust collector, that had the vacumn (at least the blower part) mounted on top of the cyclone.
When shut off, the contents of the shop vac, emptied into the cyclone.
Anyone have pictures of this style?

Are you thinking of the pulse bac shop vacs? They are were the first with a self cleaning filter. Very good vac but they run 3k or more. They are geared towards the floor re finishers for their sanders.

No, the one I saw was a shop built unit with a shop vav on top of a cyclone

You might be thinking of the one I found on YouTube and posted about it here.
