Waves of the future…
I guess this post should be more aptly named “Jets of the future…” as British inventor James Dyson (yes, the vacuum cleaner guy) is close to launching the world’s first bladeless fan to US and Australian markets.
What’s this have to do with websites and the online world? Well, nothing really. I just think it’s really, really cool and wanted you to know about it (it’s the enginerd coming out in me).
The fan works by forcing a jet of air out a narrow circular slit and then over an airfoil to generate an Air Multiplier effect that causes 119 gallons of continually flowing air to flow per second.
The benefit is elimination of the fan blades (a safety hazard) and continual flow of air as opposed to intermittent flow that fan blades cause. Plus, it’s just downright cool!
The cost of having the newest toy in your neighborhood? About $300.
