Developing the Dyson Air Multiplier™ fan

[alexgowers]

no one needs to reinvent the fan, its a non product that will fail. sorry mr dyson. i have a non dyson hoover from argos and it beats your design and power by miles. i just dont get the hype on these reinvention of good tech.

[jpseveso]

now i get it :) thanks! :P

[mulesule]

Interesting use of Airfoil and fluid mechanics. Make's me wonder what the pressure difference created by circular blade flow is?

[dolom1]

Would it be easier with the ionised air tech

[agus2001]

Too damn noisy, returned it a day later

[dycu]

I wonder if this innovation can be applied to aircraft wingtip. It's will had a supplemental lift to the one aircraft make when flying. If that happen, there will be silent helicopter, flying car, faster and more efficient airplane.

[Cypeq]

@dycu no it will never happen Mr Dyson will never share his flying silet car with masses

[AldoBr549]

@dycu I got bad news for you.... This is the principle that makes planes fly. Over 90 percent of an airplanes lift is created by negative pressure on the top of the wing due to Bernoulli's principle of fluid dynamics. I know it seems counter intuitive but because of the shape of an airfoil the air has to travel a greater distance over the top than the bottom within the same time. So the air on top is moving faster. More speed equals decreased pressure. It's still cool how it works though.

I am a huge fan of these

"I have to turn the fan on... The heat is getting stronger.."

[paezbak]

Interesting use of aerofoil to create low pressure that withdraw air into the ring.

[uplaterthanishouldbe]

When the hidden fan inside becomes dirty, which it most certainly will how are you going to feel about taking your 200 dollar fan apart?

[Sithisnight]

Bladeless my ass!

[buckfushes]

The Wright brothers developed smooth flowing air when they invented the wind tunnel over 100 years ago.

It uses blades!

[cacho11zaku]

@Computergeew that the motor fan, it is now called bladeless

every fan has a motor fan. lol.

[superpilotdude]

i need sound!!

[Hut153]

dyson must have way too much money to waste on research like this

[ChristianEvolution]

Try electro-air propulsion, use positive and negatively charged ions to propel air through a simple electro charged ring of foil.

[ThePrayerHotline]

@ChristianEvolution my friend, Ive experimented on that idea of electro air propulsion back in 2001 but the air pushed by it was so weak, i could hardly feel it. Maybe you could share a better set up or circuit. The way they call this "bladeless fan" made me think somebody already figured out a way of making the set up efficient enough to market it. =)

[ericknigge]

I really like the FDM fan blade. haha.

[bthuss]

too bad this "blade-less" fan runs by spinning a fan.....with blades.

[rocknrollohio]

@bthuss LOL

[Peddobjoernen]

But there's a fan INSIDE the housing, looks a lot like a vacuum cleaner prop too...

Probably why it sounds like a vacuum. It just pushes air from a regular fan into this special wing shape thing...

[xxsmokeydakatxx]

fu*k i wish i had about 350

[marcolovatto]

The smartest guy I've ever watched in my life.

[HerpErik]

Too bad they can't make audio work on their vidoes.

[991tomas]

@HerpErik there is no better sound than looking at air moving

[ThePrayerHotline]

@HerpErik people who bought it says its as noisy and loud as a carpet vacuum

They forgot to incorporate noise cancelling technology. Its sampling the noise and producing the same pitch and loudness of the sampled noise which is in opposite phase with the sampled noise. Hope dysonteam is reading this. And People hate their unreasonable price tag. $300 dollars for a 10 inch fan.

[heliman5434]

buy a ps3 or this????? they both cost roughly the same amount.... you pick!

[hajikerich]

So very interesting technology.

Great work.

[rocknrollohio]

@hajikerich A fan blade and motor blowing air into a round ring is interesting technology? Maybe back in medieval times it would have been

[ThePrayerHotline]

@hajikerich its actually forced air fed on the edge of an airplane wing shaped tube that they formed into a loop.
