Lol I wonder what will happen if I cover all the intake vents on base. What it seems to me, is the fans motor is stationed at the base instead of the top of a original fan. I made one with some computer fans. Frame and fans and LED lighting 50 dollars.
0:50 This thing does not, in any way, shape or form, work anything at all like a jet engine. The only way it could possibly be more dissimilar to a jet engine is if it didn't blow air.

This is ingenous technology,,he did nice explainin its operation bt missed the point how the air is actually drawn in & thrown out uni-directionally.Its suckd in the tube via a side opening on the vertical tube thn goes insde the circular ring & by inside i mean you do a cross section of the ring thn a kind of orifice or opening is wh@ lets it out on the trailing edge of the ring is what gushes air out in one direction.Amplification comes in due to Aerodynamics invlvd radially rear &frontwise
@UlTrA2GaMeR I think you left a word out in your reply. I do not see this as a technological improvement, this technology is similar to the fans that create an air barrier when you enter and exit shopping malls. All the r&d that went into this thing does not justify the cost, you're only paying for the coolness factor.
I saw one of these at BEST BUY the other day, these things are powerful!!! I was standing 20 feet away and it was freezing!!! Very kick ass! These things are sooooooooo much better than regular fans! See one in person, you will love them!
@screenflicker1 I think you're missing the two main points of this fan - which are 1) it doesn't have spinning blades that kids can put their fingers into; 2) it's an air multiplier that uses less energy to create wind. No scam - they show the tiny fan in its base.
Just buy a portable air conditioner if you plan to spend that much for a fan. Matter of fact, It's actually cheaper. And most of all it chills the air.
btw, wouldn't you still have to clean the air intake at the base of this thing? Bladeless...shmadeless, if there's air movement....there's dust movement.
I sell these at a major retailer in London, their useless, just a gimmick, they don't exert nearly as much as a regular £50 desk fan, so unless your the kind of idiot to stick your hand into a fans moving blades this is not going to benefit you.
$300, and for the little model? I admit it's cool, but not that cool. If you see this in anyone's home, you have the right to punch them in the face. Spend $20 on a blade fan. It's just as good. Send the rest of the money to kids who have to go to school in piss soaked cloths.
The bladeless blades are in the base, therefore it is not bladeless. I'm just waiting for the patent to run out so other companies can do the same thing for the same price as a normal fan. It's "fancy" so it's more expensive.
@Althestane But the momentum (mass*velocity) should be same if suppose both a traditional fan and this have same motor of an equal power. So when 1 part pulls five parts its speed should slow down by dragging of other five parts of air than our traditional fan blowing 1 part with the same power and is not pulling 5 parts along it. I understand speed up the air like river/jet engine but needs already one direction flow of air. In river its walls, in jet its fans, but in room air is mostly random.
@answerOfstupids Well, the air coming out of the ring isn't technically "pulling" the other air along: the ring-air creates a kind of negative pressure and that vacuum is what's pulling a column of air through the center of the ring, so the ring-air isn't being dragged down by the mass of the column-air, it's being added to. Look up the "how it works" videos for a visual aid. In the end you're probably right that both kinds of fans have nearly the same output. Also, it's still way too expensive!
i Dont understand what do they mean by multiplier. There is no way that fan could blow more air than the energy provided by motor. So why do they act as if the ring increases the amount of air.. if i am right smaller amount of air is blown fast into larger amount of air, in the end large speeds up and smaller one slows down. THe shortest way is always a straight line and thats what regular fans are. Straight to face, why have air rub against this ring thing. Am i missing something??
@answerOfstupids Traditional fans pull in 1-part-air and push out 1-part-air: the faster the blades turn, the faster the air gets forced out. This fan uses other fluid dynamics(inducement & entrainment): it pulls in 1 part of air but when that 1 part gets pushed out, the shape of the ring forces it to pull 5 MORE parts of air along with it, hence the "multiplying gimmick". It IS just a fan, it just moves air around differently/more efficiently and with less turbulence so it throws air farther.
And the company was saying how AC is unnatural, unlike his bladeless fan, that gives you natural air current. Geez, we get natural wind for free, not 300$. Since when do we want to produce artificial/unnatural machines, so that in the end we can get free natural things?
AC will cool the air much better than this fan, or any fan, because it doesn't just use air convection, it refrigerates the air and then send the cold air out. This bladeless fan works the same as any normal fan, it also has the same power as any normal fan, the only advantages are: no blade to avoid danger, "looks good".
it's just a normal fan, except its blade and motor are located at the bottom, it says that it sucks in air to "multiply"/increase its airflow, it's the same as the normal fan, put a piece of paper behind a normal fan, and the paper will stuck on the back side of the fan, because air is been sucked from the back to front of the fan.
it looks good, but it work just like a normal fan, 300+$? I don't think so.
This fan BLOWS and not in a good way, it has the typical "cage" turbine design, and guess what?? it still has BLADES, you cant have air without blades even tiny ones in a circular lay down design its still a FAN.
you can call a turd a diamond, but at the end of the day its still a turd, save your money....buy 6 to 10 fans for the price of this one cause this thing really dont move air, ive slept with fans for 28 years and this by far is the most over priced POS you will EVER buy.
It looks similar to a turbo in the base when they show the blades. I assume there are several layers of blades that compress the air to pump it into the ring? I can see where it would be noisy in that case, but probably more of a whine rather than blade noise.
I wish this were an actual REVIEW. All you did was repeat the obvious things about the fan ... it seems like you were just reading from a one paragraph description of the fan written by Dyson -_-
No, you dont have to worry about your kids cutting their fingers off with the blades. but you do have to worry about them knocking over and breaking your brand new $300 fan.
How does the non buffeting air flow feel when you are naked in front of it after a shower and you are getting the cool breeze blowing against your big nuts??? This is a key factor for me in purchasing this item. i like the idea of non buffetting nut blow winds.
Air Multiplier?? wtf Dyson?? its called a compressor lol its an air compressor pushing air around a ring. how is that new tech... brb going to go build one of these for 12$ lmaoo :P
It is relatively loud, that is because while it has no blades and I was assuming it would be using electric currents to create low and high pressure zones like wind on Earth. This was disappointing because this is simply a brushless electric motor inside the pedestal that sucks in air and feeds it into a tube inside the pedestal. The tube winds around the circle with slits in it to allow air flow, Dyson claims it produces x15 more air then it sucks in, hence air multiplier, but that is bullshit.
@Selrise i honestly thought they made this fan using electric currents like you did.... i was excited until i read your post. thx for savin me some money lol
I don't know why it's so expensive. It's just a fan motor blowing air into a "specially designed" ring. A friend of mine built a device that does virtually the same thing. You're not getting rid of the fan, you're just hiding it in the base and using pressure to increase the air speed (like pinching a water hose).
actuly there is sutch thin it pushes the air throa thin ring ad it kinda works as a vacume it pushes the air one way and it sucks 15 times more air then its is using to get it moving if that makes sence lol
There's no such thing as "air multiplication." That would violate the law of conservation of energy. If you want to move or compress air, you have to put energy into it. You don't put x amount of energy and get 15x the equivalent amount of kinetic energy from the air.
Now you can speed up air by reducing the size of the orifice/nozzle, but that comes with a cost too. You have frictional losses as well as flow losses. Anyone can understand this with a garden hose sprayer.
How does the non buffeting air flow feel when you are naked in front of it after a shower and you are getting the cool breeze blowing against your big nuts??? This is a key factor for me in purchasing this item. i like the idea of non buffetting nut blow winds.
It's VERY loud. A friend of mine bought one, and I have seen a couple in stores. I was very disappointed, because I loved the design... but the fact is they're SO loud, and put out SO much less air than a 30 dollar Vornado, I would feel like a fool spending 300 dollars on one just for the novelty of it.
Conversation piece? Me: "Hey! Have you heard about that new Dyson fan? It uses no BLADES!" Friend: "No I havn't, how does it work?" Me: "Well......" That cost me only 1 min of my time.
@Yenaboi I actually saw 5 of them at Sears yesterday, they weren't exactly quiet, in fact they were just as loud as a conventional balded fan. The ones you saw were probably on the lowest possible setting.
shit... if this thing takes off and these types of fans become the norm then the saying "when shits hits the fan.." will have no meaning. I don't think I could go upto it and blert out the words "luke i'm your father". Give me a cheap £30 fan
Looks like a big waste of money, I'll grant there's even air flow but even from this demo there isn't any airflow in the middle of the fan which means you have to line up prefectly with it or it doesn't work.
wrong... it's 16 times!!! not 15... But too bad, I'll have to take the risk of my children putting their hands in bladed fan because this piece of metal is way too out of budget...
The air that is pulled from the base of the unit actually only flows along the edges of the circle. But what this does is essentially "pulls" air from all around the unit, and pushes it forward.
However, it takes more than what is immediately behind the fan, but also around it nearly 360 degrees whereas normal fans are only what's directly behind it. That's why you don't feel wind behind it.
No, I'm not from Dyson. I'm a Physicist. My problem with this thing is that it's loud as hell. and$
It doesn't even blow as powerfully as a regular fan.

You're not getting rid of the fan, you're just hiding it in the base and using pressure to increase the air speed (like pinching a water hose).

actuly there is sutch thin it pushes the air throa thin ring ad it kinda works as a vacume it pushes the air one way and it sucks 15 times more air then its is using to get it moving if that makes sence lol

There's no such thing as "air multiplication." That would violate the law of conservation of energy. If you want to move or compress air, you have to put energy into it. You don't put x amount of energy and get 15x the equivalent amount of kinetic energy from the air.
Now you can speed up air by reducing the size of the orifice/nozzle, but that comes with a cost too. You have frictional losses as well as flow losses. Anyone can understand this with a garden hose sprayer.

How does the non buffeting air flow feel when you are naked in front of it after a shower and you are getting the cool breeze blowing against your big nuts??? This is a key factor for me in purchasing this item. i like the idea of non buffetting nut blow winds.

It's VERY loud. A friend of mine bought one, and I have seen a couple in stores. I was very disappointed, because I loved the design... but the fact is they're SO loud, and put out SO much less air than a 30 dollar Vornado, I would feel like a fool spending 300 dollars on one just for the novelty of it.

@Yenaboi I actually saw 5 of them at Sears yesterday, they weren't exactly quiet, in fact they were just as loud as a conventional balded fan. The ones you saw were probably on the lowest possible setting.

"and the engine in the base here is called the dyson air multiplier
because what it does, is it draws air in here, into the base, and multiplies it"
good job!

how is this high tech? Essentially your sucking air in, and shooting it back out through a tube. They've been doing this for a long time

Looks like a big waste of money, I'll grant there's even air flow but even from this demo there isn't any airflow in the middle of the fan which means you have to line up prefectly with it or it doesn't work.

The air that is pulled from the base of the unit actually only flows along the edges of the circle. But what this does is essentially "pulls" air from all around the unit, and pushes it forward.
However, it takes more than what is immediately behind the fan, but also around it nearly 360 degrees whereas normal fans are only what's directly behind it. That's why you don't feel wind behind it.
No, I'm not from Dyson. I'm a Physicist. My problem with this thing is that it's loud as hell. and$
