    i wonder how long it will take for a generic knock-off of the bladeless-fan to come out for $20

    How do the common people manage without Dyson vacuums? It must be horrible.

    Well I graduated last December with a degree in Electrical Engineering and I cant find a job to save my life, so we may need more engineers and scientists, but we need more jobs for those people first.

    for my part, I'd love to see some Dyson explorations with liquids. Fluids is a remarkable subset of physics, and I'd like to see more work with liquids in particular. It's very complicated engineering, but very exciting. I'm curious about what he sees in materials science of today that can be exploited.

    More ideas, please.

    FWIW, my fave design firm is Ideo. I would change my life to work there.

    Dyson's vacuum's really irritate me, but whenever I'm in a bathroom with one of his dryers, I always end up washing my hands twice just so I can use it again.

    @92BuickLeSabre: That's no lie. I had my first run in with the Air Blade (or whatever the hell he calls it) a few weeks ago. I had a bunch of people backed up behind me at the hand dryer because of the best hand drying experience I've ever had. It was neat watching the skin on the back of my hands ripple like the face of an astronaut trainee.

    So this guy is brilliant and Dyson has some amazing ideas and designs to apply...And they make high-end vacuums and fans.

    I really wish they'd apply themselves to some more 'important' things if you get my meaning. They have some brilliant electric motors I've heard and I know he wants to put one in a car, but here we are, years later with a blade-less fan. Come on Dyson, do something worth doing.

    @Kaiser-Machead: I do remember the first time I went to IKEA and spent much longer drying my hands than using the facilities.

    Of course now when I go I'm just sick of explaining to everyone else how they work so they'll get out of the way. #jamesdysoninterview

    noticed: there is a legend that uses red arrows for apparent water flow, and blue arrows for actual water flow. i don't see any blue arrowsof the same shade in the diagram.

    and the light blue one of the air being pumped into a sealed tank doesn't count.

    I recall in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park there was a similar effect. A road and a stream are side by side, but he road slopes in the opposite direction of the stream. The slopes are so subtle the average passerby percieves the stream to be flowing uphill.

    I'm just waiting for Mister Dyson to make a vacuum cleaner that will actually cause a hurricane. Then I can finally give up on this dreaded doomsday weather control machine.

    So when's Dyson going to utilize a motor that spins so fast, instead of trapping dust, it creates a tiny but powerful break in the space time continuum and the dust gets sent to another dimension?

    I've read several reviews that says Dyson vacuums aren't actually very good at vacuuming.


    It's pretty silly to come up with new wheel and motor technology when your product doesn't do it's primary job as well as 1/2 price competitors.

    "ten times as fast as a commercial aircraft and more than twice as fast as the most powerful industrial milling machines."


    So I shouldn't stick my tongue in it?
