Dyson, famous for the invention of the bagless hoover, have come up with another revolutionary idea: a fan with no blades. The company say their engineers ran hundreds of simulations to precisely plot how the air flows through what they are calling the Dyson Air Multiplier. James Dyson, the man behind the machine, said: "I've always been disappointed by fans. "Their spinning blades chop up the airflow, causing annoying buffeting. Dyson Air Multiplier "They're hard to clean and children always want to poke their fingers through the grille. So we've developed a new type of fan that doesn't use blades." The fan works by using a motor to draw air into the base of the machine which is then forced up through the loop of the machine and then out creating a jet of air. The air then passes over a 16 degree airfoil-shaped ramp channelling it into the same direction and drawing air in from behind the fan which results in the airflow being increased 15 times. An explanatory video on the Dyson website shows exactly how the new fan works. Dyson say as a result of the technique the airflow is smoother than traditional fans. Source:SkyNews | ||

Blog Entries: 5 My System: I bet on red. If I lose, I double the bet on red again. I continue with this until I lost everything.  Muhuhuhahahahahaaaaarrrgggh | Well, looks like a nice thing. But as before, they twist the details a little bit, as the motor that produces the airflow surely must have some sort of blades as otherwise how does it generate air flow??? So basically it is not a blade free fan, but a clever system to smooth out an existing air flow - or am I wrong there? I still remember their bag-free vaccum cleaner - the idea is great until you find out that instead of the bag you have an air filter you need to change once in a while. So no bag - but filters instead. One thing is for sure, they are clever withtheir advertising  | ||

| As there is no scale to the pdf attachments, the new Dyson cleaner could be 100 metres tall, and take advantage of natural updrafts associated with skyscrapers. Our resident vacuum cleaner expert will be along in a moment to clarify | ||
