It would be interesting to feed some smoke into the clearvue to see how the air flows.

Jim,
Please forgive the crude sketch. It's my interpretation of your description, drawn on a 3x5 card. What I understand is this: the center tube on your cyclone is 8" in diameter and 18" long. The baffle (air straightener) is overall 36" long. It sticks out of the bottom of the center tube about 18" and tapers from about the 25" point from the top to a width of 1.5". I'm assuming it is in the form of a X inside the tube. How did I do? Way off or in the ballpark?

You got it. Now draw the cyclone body. 18" diameter, 23" tall cone, 43" total height.
