You know the feeling when some everyday product lets you down. "I could have designed this better myself," you think. James Dyson is a man who likes to make things work better. With his research team, he has developed products that have achieved sales of over $6 billion worldwide.

In 1978, James Dyson noticed how the air filter in the Ballbarrow spray-finishing room was constantly clogging with powder. To fix this, he designed and built an industrial cyclone tower, which removed the powder particles by exerting centrifugal forces. He wondered, "could the same principle work in a vacuum cleaner?" James Dyson set to work. 5 years and 5,127 prototypes later, the world's first bagless vacuum cleaner from Dyson arrived.

You have the right ideas. We have the right resources. Together, we are changing how product ideas are financed and brought to market forever. Learn more at http://www.edisonnation.com/ or http://everydayedisons.com

  • @bertyUK It's depressing isnt it. There does seem to be an undercurrent of support for manufacturing and engineering at the moment though. Perhaps if the government employed some of their PR agencies and spin doctors to get the country behind it we'd be competing with the Germans by now

  • I am a huge fan of James Dyson

  • The economy wrecked.
