Dyson Air Multiplier, A Cool Bladeless Fan (Video)


Every now and then, there'll always be a new take on an existing product. Usually it'll be better and more efficient than the original. But the Dyson Air Multiplier takes the good old electric fan to a stunningly high level.



James Dyson wanted to make a new kind of fan that takes up less energy, more cooling, cleaner and quieter. He did not like the fan blades that "chops" up the air that buffets your face. Thus he came up with this Air Multiplier. It performs the same function as a fan, without the blades. It is called an air multiplier simply because whatever air the fan outputs, the resultant breeze will contain up to 15 times the amount of air in a steady stream. It is easier explained by watching the video below.



Because the fan blows air in a steady stream, the breeze is described as similar to an air-conditioner blowing at you. I'd pretty much like to try it but will have to wait till it's released next year. It however comes at a rather expensive price of a few hundred dollars, though that's the price to pay for a very innovative piece of tech.

Bonus: The following video shows Dyson engineers having fun with the new air multiplier. It also demonstrates how the the air flows when using it. Enjoy.
