“It is totally operational. It is an electrically powered device, which pulls debris/dust inside it through suction resulting from negative internal pressure.”

He further added,

“I executed my attempt on making a vacuum cleaner as small as 1.9 centimeters, considering the Indian record of a 2.9cm vacuum cleaner.”

Ahsan's first attempt was to make a 1.9 cm long vacuum cleaner. However, the response from the Guinness World Records took three months. During that time an Indian artist broke the record by developing a 1.7cm vacuum cleaner.  To eat the record again, Ahsan developed a 1.46cm which was again beaten by a margin of 0.06cm. His last attempt was to make one with a size of 1.3cm which has been recognized by the Guinness World Records as the world’s smallest vacuum.
