  • it's kinda like an apple product, it's neat, its expensive, and nowbody needs it, but many want it, other ones speak about waste of money, and people who have one say it's worth every penny...

    just like with apple...

  • is funny cuz there was no talkin in the video ha ha ha

  • I'm a metal fan. And I don't have blades too.

  • I believe the term multiplier refers to the fact that 93% of the airflow comes from the surrounding environment and was not directly generated by the internal impeller. Whether or not you think their products are expensive or worthwhile, you have to admit that this is an awfully clever application of fluid dynamics. Furthermore, it's a very compact and modular design. I certainly wouldn't buy one, but I think it's a fantastic example of forward thinking.

  • Ahh Icy. (I See).

  • Don't like the name it does not multiply the air, just sucks it in and blows it out. And I wonder if it uses a air pump in the bottem rather than a fan, could build more volume

  • Even though there aren't any visible blades, I imagine it still has to have blades somewhere. Perhaps there are small fans inside it that bring air in from the apparent air vents at the bottom and blow it out the circular portion at the top?

  • @jadetraveler it uses jet engine technology, check the video here /watch?v=8he8afjQyd8

  • Witchcraft!

  • @Robertsupersnipe18 person who dose not know sicience!

  • Airfoil in its finest....plus a little thing called aspiration

  • This isn't blade-less; that would be like me hooking a conventional fan up to a hose and calling it blade-less just because there weren't any blades at the end.

  • hmm, so if I understand this correctly, 1 air in = 15 air's out.

  • @ILuvDWad3 Yep. Costco has them for around that price.

  • All we need now, is big pile of grounded pepper and a big crowd of people.

  • Great, but... Will it blend?

  • @DunkleFlugel ahhahaha

  • For the price of this I'll stay with a Walmart buffeting fan until these come down to a respectical price. Way overpriced for something that can't come close to a normal fan. Although extremely cool, quite, non buffeting, not worth it still. Dollar for dollar, best bet, $15 fan !

  • Witchcraft!!!!!!

  • Why buy it when you can BUILD IT

  • Where's the wizard?

  • Dang u know there right but I think that this technology could be used to make hover cars or improving surcharge such as jets and choppers

  • @narutohokageclan This technology has been in use for 100 years on aircraft.

    This fan is basically an airfoil. An aeroplane's wing is an airfoil, and some aircraft even use ducted fans to produce thrust, very similar to this.

  • Could you apply this same technology to rotary winged aircraft (helicopters and cargo planes)?

  • i turned on my fan in my room to see the discomfort but i felt no chops of air slapping me.

  • @k1ngm0m0 yeah, that's because the "problem" exists only in Dyson's mind, there is no problem really. Solving non-existent problems with pointless technology, painting it yellow and selling it for a ludicrous price is what Dyson is all about.

  • I predict that this will be a marketing failure because of the high price . A window mount room air conditioner is a third of the cost and a simple fan 10 to 20 dollars , the Dyson Air Multiplier in comparison is just to expensive .

  • @ipodtouchhugger that would explain why they were noisy when I saw them at Sears yesterday... Was wondering where the noise was coming from if there was no fan.

  • I still don't get it.

  • i'm sensing troll physics

  • How do you clean the impeller?  The device will get dusty and dirty over time.

  • I want to see a smoke test, not a computer animation. This proves nothing that it multiplies the air flow as claimed. It will not pull in as much air as is depicted in this simulation. The center will not pull in air. All the air pulled in would be from the sides and up to a couple inches away, at best. The price is outrageous at over $300 US. I'll put up with my $30 fan with remote control.

  • @UnderManlac you're right, I saw one of these in Sears and when I placed my hand near the middle, I hardly felt anything. The result was likewise when I stepped away from it a little. Fans are still worth the choppiness that the blades produce. The only part that pulls people in is its appeal, looks like magic. No (visible) moving parts, and yet you feel a smooth breeze. The only pro is that it's safer for small children, but that's preventable.

  • 38 people noticed the price.

  • i find it so stupid this design, there is a fan in te tower blowing, the "fan less unit" is nothing else than redirecting the air of the inside fan

  • How does it work?

  • Seems great for baby or kid rooms, you wouldn't have to worry about them sticking their finger in the grill. I've thought about using a windmill, to compress air, which would be used to move a pneumatic motor... this could be more efficient for air circulation.

    It might be interesting to use a similar design on a window.

    The price is still ridiculous.

  • i get it, i saw online these fans go for $300+ american dolars each. so if i get one each for the bedroom, living room and dining room and spend over $900 and the govt share of tax on it , then i can cool my house for that much ? rather than buy 3 face slapping fans for about $ 25 each or simply $75 .? i say its worth it and Brilliant. I just hope i can get financing for the $900+ for the 3 ,yes three air multipliers . I guess giving out titles like "Sir" in England does mean something??

  • So if you use the tecnology right you could theoretically create a HOVER CAR using the same aspect... though you have to create control of the movement and force....

    I dont think that would be hard. :)

  • I would buy it if it was $100

  • i bet theres a fan in the base.

  • @luca20yo There is a fan in the base. look up "james dyson explains his bladeless fan. He calls the fan in the base an impeller, but an impeller is another word for fan.

    He's charging over $300 us for one of these things. NOT worth it.

    I don't know which is worse, the bladed fan may slap you in the face with air or his high price slap in the face. So far the price is the biggest slap in the face.

  • So they created a problem that didn't exist with the normal fan and solved it with the new fan and they call air hitting you in the face "buffetting" and not smooth enough?

    We have come to an age where a fan doesn't hit you with air "smooth enough"

  • its like an air plane wing creating an imbalance in the air causing the air to move faster THAT'S GENIUS!!!!! think of all the possibility for this kinda of technology

  • It's simple and just so darn cool

    It uses a small amount of air DIRECTING the flow of AIR, with the shape of it also Multiplying the SPEED of the air thru the circle

    xP

  • I'm just confused with the name... What it's saying is that if there was 1 mol of air, it will generate 15 mols of air... And then they compare it to a few plates of plastic that push air...

  • Pretty neat but if it's a bladeless fan, what generates the air pushed through the internal part [x1 from the base and through the internal structure of the accelerator blade]?

    I saw one of these at a store and could hear something. Is that a fan inside the base and does that part have blades?

  • @CineGolem Yes. All they did was put a fan in the base. The air blown by the fan is piped through little holes in the circle. It's deceiving marketing. Their "multiplier" technology just means that 1 mol of air propels 14 mols of air. Sounds like simple WIND CURRENT to me... No wait, sounds more like marketing BS to me.

  • @CineGolem There is a fan in the base (they call it an impeller, which is another word for fan). It's supposed to move the air through holes in the cowl over an airfoil. Apparently, it would cause a low pressure on the one side forcing more air through. I doubt it works as well as claimed. For $300+ I would rather listen to my normal $30 fan, at least it has a remote control.

  • Fun fact, theres blades in the base :D

  • can i use it in water?

  • @HeadSHOT604 NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @iToasterman so i cant make a stream on water D:

  • @HeadSHOT604 do you like 120v @ 10 - 100 amps coursing through your heart cooking you alive? then yes, you can.

  • @iToasterman I wasn't going to jump in too I'm just saying it'll look cool........

  • @HeadSHOT604 ur holding it still..

  • @iToasterman fck it I'm try anyway

  • @HeadSHOT604 Good waste of 300$ sir, make shure to attach 50 to a boat, so we can ride :D

  • @iToasterman Holy Shit that's a good idea xD

  • @HeadSHOT604 *trollface.jpg*

  • whn I first saw this video i thought thats a cool fan. Then I looked how much it was on ebay......... I am not going to spend $400 on a plastic bladeless fan when I can buy 800 apple pies from mcdonolds with that.... I would rather be hot with 800 aple pies

  • The first time I used one was in the bathroom of a new Mexican restaurant. It wasn't a table fan, it was a hand dryer called the "Airstream". REALLY cool. Not $1,199 cool, unless of course I was starting a business. :3

  • I can create about 300 cubic litres of air from one onion totally silently.......

  • how the heck did i start watching vacum and fan comercials

  • If You Set the speed to Maximum you can travel through time!!!!

  • wow... thumbs up for the creator

  • i like my air chopped

  • just take a shower

  • Still doesnt show how it works. Take it APART and show us how it "works".

  • @THB79 ... but the video just showed you how the most important part of this fan works.

  • @THB79 but I guess you want this: watch?v=8he8afjQyd8&feature=re­lated

  • @KaaFOFO Yes thanks!! I was having a conversation (argument) with a friend about how this thing was actually creating air flow. It has to have some kind of fan mechanism and it does. An impeller, which is a fan. So I'll give Dyson credit for changing or redirecting the airflow in his invention, but it's still just a fan.

    If he wants to really impress me, make a ceiling air multiplier and I'll buy it. Hey, wait a minute.....

  • coooooool!

    

  • I'd rather get a 32GB iPod touch..

  • but then, will it blend?

  • do this work underwater??

  • hey its youtube ,there is a character limit ,and what can i say i like runons

    or maybe i am prego ,maybe that why i missed the 6 periods

  • The Aliens are giving us all there knowledge...

  • haha .. im sure chinese r gonna copycat and sell it for like 50 bucks

  • wait, wouldn't that break the law of conservation of energy?

  • @supergenius1994 no energy is being used in order to draw in more air as the air is loosing momentum in doing this

  • Gee, even the video makes no sound.

  • 0:30

  • 1:10

  • many of us have been known to pass air through a round hole long before the esistence of the air multiplier, lot cheaper and just a tad smellier.

  • who buys a fan with the price of an ipod? Yet again, who buys a Rolls Royce with the price of a house?

    This is the Rolls Royce of fans.. so expect a cult following.

  • this doesnt explain how it works, i want to know how the air gets moved in the first place?

  • this is awesome, an awesome invention really! but $330 for a desk fan... lol

  • WOW. BAD ASS FAN

  • where's the sound

  • genius

  • if you put your arm through it you will get desintegrated and spread allover the world :D!

  • So if i line 50 of these up in a row...

    World Domination???

    ::)

  • @SketchbookGee Air x63,762,150,000,000,000,000,00­0,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,­000,000,000,000,000 (63 18th section of the millions, 762 17th section, 150 16th section. Trillions = 3rd section)

    Have fun with world domination :D

  • Keeewool!... when are they going to put it on an Aircraft... ?

  • @norvman

    Interesting, because I was just thinking of tests involving scaled up versions with higher thrust, mainly for lightweight energy efficient aircraft.

  • This not about price, it's just plain innovation this is the future of fans

  • also oust air freshener is glycolized and uses ozone to clean the air ,also alot of indoor pools and hot tubs use ozone generators istead of chlorine to keep the water pure and clean and the gas does escape into the room,the reason they dont use chlorine indoors is because the chlorine gas can build up and explode.the orec air purifier and ionic breeze make ozone with high voltage to purify the air as do many ionizers

  • @bulletproof2353 Seven sentences and only one period in the bunch.

  • @djteac well ozone is toxic in the lower atosphere, but thats because there are lagre amounts of it, a small amout of ozone can be benneficial,there are planty of other products that use it to clean the ait,it can kill bacteria in the air and break up certain volotaie organic compunds,like bezene and such, ever see the orec air purifieror the ionic breeze by sharper image? or ozium air freshener,that is used alot in doctors offices?its glycolized and create ozone to clean the air

  • I'm waiting for a fan I can pay $4,000 dollars for!

  • Made in china 18" elipsoid version ... ready

  • thats how i thought it worked not by using a small fan at the bottom and what amounts to a circular ring shaped airplane wing like ring at the top,they should have gone totally no moving parts and put an ion breeze thing in the base for the top ring to amplify atleast then put another set of ion ion plates in the ring itself so there would be 3 things to move the air and no moving parts,plus an awesome air ionizer to boot

  • @bulletproof2353 uhm yeah, and in that process creating ozon which is toxic.....

  • @br4ndoncec ,oh is that how it works,well that is totally lame then i thought that it was some new type of technology or atleast a much more efficient or better way of using an existing high tech,high voltage technology,like ions,like those ionic breeze things that have no fans or moving parts,thats ridiculous then,and yea i saw them in bed&bath so i knew the price was outrageous already,they could have used an ion drive at the bottom,&another set of circular ion plates around the top ring

  • there is blades in the bottom you dont see. and for £200 i might as well buy 30 fucking fans.

  • i wonder how much current this technology needs to operate,because wouldnt it be cool to have a toy gliger like plane that uses this technology instead of a propeller to power it,a plane that generates its own lift ,but with no moving parts,well maybe the alerons,elevators and tail rudder ,but no moving propulsion parts

  • @bulletproof2353 it has blades in the bottom its just a fan facing up with a peice of plastic around it and for only £200 (£300)!

  • ^cough Viktor Schauberger.

  • Only thing they don't show you is the fan tucked at the base which sucks in air from the grills. $500 for this thing? You can buy a low end washer or dryer with that amount of money.

  • next we'll see Dyson androids...

  • One day we'll control the Earth air stream. People will travel in the sky inside a balloon. Then we'll all die by a giant human made hurricane. Fortunately, humanity will become upskirt hunter... Stay away from groundskeeper Willie.

  • Someone should make some PC case fans with this technology.

  • @AureliusMaximus10 im guessing they have their "idea" patented in more than one way, so having such artificially inflated price will then allow them to sue any competition to court claiming even more ludicrous absurd values in imaginary "lost profits". Can't wait for some knockoff for 1/10 the price.

  • @doobtribe dyson never invented this... he stole the idea...we got the same thing but bigger in the mining sector..

  • It is also known as "The Money Divider."

  • If I put $100 in the hole, will $1500 come out?

  • miraculous...

    

  • so what happens if someone farts?

    jw

  • @TheEspadaNumber4

    haha don't even think about it dude XD

  • Increase the diameter and length, wear a suit that increases surface area, increase air flow, and you may be able to fly through the center of one of these.

  • Oh yeah, but can you talk into it and pretend to be an alien?

  • bladeless fans? not like anyone would stick their fingers in a bladed one.

    oh well, at least now we can stick our head in this

  • must have been some smart ass motherfucker to come up with this shit

  • @Reparo96 sir james dyson..

  • 1: 15 times the force 2: 225 times the force 3: 3375 times the force?

  • Damn... I'd hit that!

  • o god i want this :o

  • As nifty as this is, it is NOT worth $300

  • This fan is not at all 'bladeless' (the propeller is in the base). So for people with serious blade phobia (aka "fan death" brainwash victims) it is still false advertisement. But only 1/15 of the air flowing through it is chopped by blades, so it may have better feng shui.

    Dyson, if you really want to make a fan bladeless, simply replace the impeller with an orchestrion air pump (an old invention consisting of a slow spinning flywheel that smoothly moves a few bellows).

  • What happens if you blow a fan into the back of the Air Multiplier, which is behind another air multiplier, which is behind yet a third air multiplier? Does the universe cave in on itself?

  • @kendo512 nope just a man-made F5 twister :( not amazing

  • What if I want 16x the air?

  • coming to india very shortly !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • coming to india very shortly !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I should by one for my xbox so it doesn't red ring.

  • @gammbitx21 or you could buy another xbox for the same money

  • @xXxXxusaxXxXx I know, I was just being sarcastic...

  • @gammbitx21 yeah i was making fun of the price

  • @xXxXxusaxXxXx or you could sell your xbox or one. i know what im doing!

  • all fans wont have blades anymore i know it

  • for 300 dollars i could buy a prostitute for 2 nights

  • ey, this is now hitting all the "bargin" outlets :-), do not spit in it

  • Free energy has been here all along ,But the powerfull Oil business won't alow common ppl to know this,Get a REAL working magnet motor at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Start the energy revolution!

  • It may not be specially energy efficient, you can probably get something just as good for 1/10th of the price, it may cost out the ass but GOD DAMN if it doesn't look cool as hell. Amirite?!

  • i want this in a case fan!

  • @abacusasian lol inorite? That was the first thing I thought. How can we mod a couple of these into a totally bitchen case? :P

    At that price, though, you could install a nice water cooler, though. :(

  • i want too teabag it :)

  • It is also known as "The money multiplier".

  • @asutn More like "the money divider"

  • @asutnno more like the money divider

  • I want to throw a paper airplane thru it....

  • YoU WoN't BeLiEvE WhAT SoMe GiRls WiLl Do! o.O

    goo. gl/ LeRd

  • kay a few things first off stop being douches to dyson kay hes a wonderful inventor and he deserves some credit next yea ok its extremely overpriced and he probably couldave made more money if he sold it for cheaper

  • this reminds me of ion engines

  • Unlimited energy sources are out there!But Elite controllers don't want ppl to be free from the costs of energy,if you want a real Free energy Magnet Motor, get the blueprints at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Let the revolution begin!

  • Thumbs up if ur waiting for MADE IN CHINA VERSION hahahaha!!

  • @di8torted XD

  • @di8torted

    HAHAHAHA fuck yeah

  • Where is the Idea generation from?

    As far i know the Concept Generation is from the Coanda Effect which we can see on most of the military aerial vehicle.

    Is there any Idea screening occur ?

  • it multiplies air ~ someone stick one on the moon and we can cultivate there

  • Will it multiply the smell if I fart through that thing?

  • Can this concept be applied to aircraft, to replace traditional rotors in planes and helicopters?

  • @guest426 This concept is not new at all it has been applied to some aircrafts already it is called air circulation control it makes the control surfaces far more effective and shortens the take off distance. However it requires additional power such as an APU dedicated only for that purpose.

  • @guest426 As for helicopters the closest thing to this are ducted fans based VTOL such as the Hiller flying platform and other larger models but the problem with these systems is that they don’t have a good redundancy system and they can’t autorotate safely to the ground in case of engine failure like conventional helicopters. The will never give us flying cars only gas guzzlers that get stuck in traffic :)

  • Just wait for the copycats to come up with a US$40/ lower version... anyway, its 50W power consumption for the Dyson fan motor- wonder if the output is 'stronger' then a typical 50W blade fan. With the world getting so polluted n dusty today, using Dyson w/o a/c would soon clog up the Dyson internal fan blades w dust n render the US$329+ product unusable- so Dyson's claim that its new product can substitute air-con is half truth only- only for the man's rich n fancy friends I'd guess. :(

  • i like the idea, but its too expensive. ill wait till winter maybe they will sell it for a half price. :-)

  • i like the idea, but its too expensive. ill wait till winter maybe they will sell it for a half price. :-)

  • @Melatoninbym for three hundred buck it better

  • APERTURE SCIENCE

    developing portals since 1987 so that you will be baked, and then there will be cake, for science

  • WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?!?!

  • @wrylie188 lol

    

  • 0:36 IMA FIREN MA LAZER

  • @picaticatara

    But that's in america. Soviet Russia is reversed.

  • for 300 dollars this thing should be able to fucking fly i mean after all it has aircraft wing technology

  • Good, i'm wondering if you would put a small blade fan in the middle you would get tripple the effect right? or does this just takes away the whole idea?

  • For that much money I'd rather buy multiple fans and put them around me!

  • 15 airs are better than 1 air.
