How Dyson's Blade-less Fan Works
In case my passionate summary wasn't enough, this info-clip will demonstrate how Dyson's Air Multiplier moves air without blades—except that it fails to mention that there are still blades inside the machine (that factoid kills the magic). [boingboing] -

James Dyson Lightning Interview: A Mac Man With a Bladeless Fan
Sir James Dyson is more than a guy who makes unusually interesting vacuums. He makes unusually interesting fans, too! We got a (very brief) chance to talk to the man about his tech allegiances, his design philosophy, and more. More » -

James Dyson Drops the Crap Out of His Own Vacuum Repeatedly
Besides getting the entire video history of Dyson Vacuums as narrated by the world's most boring voice, Crunchgear also get James Dyson to simulate what it would be like to drop the crap out of his own vacuum. The actual "drop test" machine was broken. See how confident Dyson is in his engineering that he's willing to do this on camera. Can we get Bill Gates doing this to an Xbox 360 on video? Or Jobs to a MacBook Pro? [Crunchgear] -

A Video History of Dyson Upright Vacuums
Crunchgear went on a trip to Dyson's headquarters in Malmesbury, England and caught this video of an incredibly soporific employee narrating the entire history of their upright vacs. If you can listen to five minutes of this guy, you'll get a very cool journey through the adventure of cleaning up crap from your carpets. Super neat for fans of Dyson to see how they refined yours from the first few models. [Crunchgear] -

Xbox-Selling Mom Gets Rewarded with Free Vacuum for Solid Parenting
Remember the badass mom who put her son's Xbox 360 up on eBay after he broke the vacuum to get out of playing chores and was busted surfing for porn on the web? Well, it looks like being a tough parent pays: Dyson is sending her a $500 DC25 vacuum cleaner free of charge. So remember this lesson, kids: if you're going to be a little brat, make sure your mom is creative and you get punished in a way that garners publicity. That way, she'll profit and you can claim that was your plan from the beginning. The system works! -

Dyson 2008 Award Winner Rake n Take: For Picking Up Leaves or Dirty Laundry
You'd expect first place in the 2008 Dyson awards to go something totally insane, like a vacuum that cleans your carpet and your colon simultaneously. But it actually went to this deceptively simple gadget designed by Ryan Jansen, the Rake n Take, which takes a lot of the suck out of raking leaves. Pulling up on the handle clamps whatever you're raking, so you you don't have to stoop and scoop. It would also be great for clearing your disgusting roommate's biohazardous socks out of your living room. Check it out in action after the jump. More » -

Dyson Concept Updates the Clothesline: It's Raining Pants
The new "air-line" concept from student designer Daniel Fitzgerald andDysonoffers an eco-friendly and space-saving solution to drying your clothes thanks to a design that functions using the movement of air along with solar heat. In other words, it is a solar-powered clothesline. The one big technological development comes in the form of intelligent sensors that precisely dry your clothes and stop the flow of naturally heated air when the moisture content in the clothes reaches zero. So, theoretically, your clothes should stay nicer longer. UPDATE: Dyson is not officially involved with this concept, they merely affiliate with the group who holds the Australian Design Awards.

The pint-sized air-filtration system acts as a miniature greenhouse, stripping the benzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene from inside your home using three natural filters. More » -

Watch The Thrilling Conclusion of the Dyson/Mitsubishi Hand-Dryer Battlemodo

Or was it the choice of soccer hooligans everywhere, Dyson's upstart Airblade? Watch as NYC intern Benny and I let a group of people with wet hands pick the dryer that blows the most. –Video by Richard Blakeley -

Mitsubishi Jet Towel vs. Dyson Airblade Pre-Game Trash Talk and Tale of the Tape
If you are wondering why we're engaged in a totally ridiculous Ultimate Hand-Dryer Battlemodo, it's because you asked for it. When we aired our interview with Dyson and the Airblade, some of you guys pounced on Dyson, "embarrased for having claimed to have invented the horizontal hand dryer only to discover the Japanese have had it for years," and so on. But last week, when we announced the Battlemodo, some Giz readers raised the Union Jack and sided with Sir James, due to your love of Dyson vacs. There's a lot of heat here, and yeah, we're fanning the flames with pre-game stats and the obligatory trash talk. More » -

Dyson Secretly Creating Robot Vacuum
iRobot's Roomba is about to get a little competition from the folks at Dyson. Rumor has it that Dyson is recruiting roboticists who can help create a robotic vacuum with autopilot and mapping capabilities, the latter feature being something the Roomba lacks (it relies on bump sensors for direction).

Dyson Airblade: 400mph, No Hot Air
James Dyson, billionaire inventor of expensive vacuum cleaners, has time on his hands to worry about bathroom bacteria, so he created the Dyson Airblade, a supercharged hand dryer that pumps room-temperature air through a tiny slot at 400mph. Dyson claims the device uses a "windshield-wiper" effect, drying both hands in 10 seconds. Since it doesn't use any hot air, he says it uses 83% less energy. Must be noisy, though. To go on sale in the UK next month, Dyson's reverse vacuum cleaner for hand drying will cost 549 (around $1027), and will also be available for lease. More » -
