Fan with No Blades? How does it work?

10/29/2009 - 1:00 pm By Arnt Eriksen

James Dyson has invented and launched a fan with no blades. It’s safer and cooler. How does it work? It utilizes the Air Multiplyer. I have included the video to see the product at work and explained by James himself. Amazing invention.

The Dyson Air Multiplier™ fan works very differently to conventional fans. It uses Air Multiplier™ technology to draw in air and amplify it 15 times. With no blades or grille, it’s safe, easy to clean and doesn’t cause unpleasant buffeting. Using an airfoil-shaped ramp (like a cross-section through an airplane wing), airflow is amplified 15 times. This creates a smooth, powerful airflow, with no need for fast-spinning blades.

If there’s anything I like more than someone setting out to solve a problem by going back to basics it’s someone finding the answer to a problem by accident. Very synchronistic.

While some might snicker and say this is a waste of time compared to other things an inventor might make, I’m of the opinion that all roads lead to Rome.

Way to go Dyson! And thank you Arnt for sharing this! tthithis.thiNexactly retweetable, but exactly retweetable, bu
