Dyson has come up a "cool" new invention. Introducing: the Dyson bladeless fan!
Most commonly known for the pricey, yet powerful line of vaccuums, James Dyson also invented the "air blade" - a powerful hand dryer that uses "blades" of air to wipe the water from your hands rather than simply blowing on them to evaporate the water.
The Air Blade, which is starting to pop up in more public washrooms, was the basis for the Dyson Fan.
"The Dyson Air Multiplier works by using innovative airflow engineering to pull air up through an energy efficient brushless motor in its base, and force it up into the loop amplifier at the top, where the air is amplified 15 times by drawing surrounding air into the stream. The air is then expelled over an airfoil shaped ramp that channels its direction. According to Tuesday's press release, the fan generates 405 litres of air every second." - Source: www.ZDNet.co.uk
According to the press release, the bladeless fan, which comes in 10 and 12" units is quieter, safer and easier to clean. It is light-weight and the base is removable for easy storage. The price may be inhibiting at an expected MSRP of nearly $300.
Either way, I'm happy to see that innovation is alive and well. I would love to check one of these things out, but for the price, I'm more likely to install a good ceiling fan.
Congrats to James Dyson for doing it again. I look forward to the next invention!
