Dyson Fan Throws Air Without Blades!
Fans and blades are synonymous, and its difficult to even imagine a bladeless fan. Well, that part has been made simple by Dyson with the unveiling of a bladeless fan. Using technology similar to bagless vacuum cleaners, the fan draws air from its base.
The air is forced up into the loop amplifier and accelerated through the 1.3mm annular aperture, creating a jet of air that hugs the airfoil- shaped ramp. While exiting the loop amplifier, the jet pulls air from behind the fan into the airflow (inducement). At the same time, the surrounding air from the front and sides of the machine are forced into the air stream (entrainment), amplifying it 15 times. The result is a constant uninterrupted flow of cooling air
The fan is available in 10 and 12-inch versions, with prices at $300 and $330 respectively.
