Okay so I decided to try this crazy experiment by connecting Nilfisk GM80 to the Kirby G6 fill tube to see if the Nilfisk limits the G6 airflow.
Turns out that the airflow actually increased 12 cfm. Not much and this setup doesn't really make sense.
However it was interesting to see how these worked together.
If there is something what this proves is that you can make tandem air upright with very high airflow and suction.

Interesting experiment 😄

The idea of the tandem air was to have a direct air motor as it supposedly cleans carpets better and a clean air motor so you can have the convenience of an onboard hose to use attachments. I can see what they were trying to do but it's just over complicated.

Imagine if Nilfisk made upright with this GM80 motor.
It would pull easily over 100 cfm from the nozzle.
