Balloons and Dyson Air Multiplier fans!

Gizmodo: Maybe moving $300 fans is harder than Dyson expected, or perhaps Dyson's engineers are just flat out of things to do. Either way, this Rube Goldberg-ian balloon course, made from God knows how many Air Multiplier bladeless fans, is mesmerizing.

Yeah, this is purely a really pretty lame attempt to get some *viral marketing going for their stupidly expensive fans.

And they ARE fans, because while they don't have a fan in the large bit, the base has a fan in it... so they are just Stupidly expensive fans which work no better than normal ones.

Unless you want to channel balloons around thousands of dollars of stupid engineering wankiness.

Sorry, but I find them to be just the most ludicrous lie of marketing... they DO have fans, and yet they're marketed as 'fanless air multipliers'... what tripe.

Give me a $15 pedestal fan over these any day.

yah load of markting shit ,

if they were £30 and marketed as fans that just look different than id be fine with them. maby evan if they sold them for more but they were sold as bullshit designer things, but when a company just spreds a load of shit to shift a product they can fuck off.

Does look like quite a stunning victory for form over function. Fine Arts majors everywhere are looking forward to abandoning the food service industry for lucrative engineering careers.

As a biophysical researcher, for years I have been searching for the perfect physical model that describes the action of an unpopped popcorn kernel in the small intestine.

Thanks to this video, my federal grant application has finally been approved.

Slap an Apple logo on there and you'd have people camping overnight in front of the store.

Those look like they run on magic.


They run on marketing hype. It's like magic where the magician gives a pile of crap the illusion of being desirable and then makes your money disappear.
