I'd love to see anything that is better (= less hassle) than today's DPF's. Periodical emptying shouldn't be a problem, as replacing oil, filters, etc., is standard practice which no-one questions.

I don't know exactly how small of particulates can be caught with a cyclone - the really small stuff (which I believe is the largest health concern) would require a very strong centrifugal force. But if a cyclone filter could be made with the same restriction as present DPF's, but without the extra fuel needed to burn out, then I think the car companies would already be all over it.
