So how does it work? Is there a fan in the base that blows air up into the ring which then "multiplies" it, or is the ring oscillating in some way that moves air? I demand answers!

So -this- is what Dyson was spamming me about. They sent a link to some BS video clip of people going "what is that?" and "Cool!" All with not a word or view of the object itself. Apparently they plan to unveil it Oct 15th. Personally, I can't stand these "buzz" type ad campaigns.

Given the wondrousness of my Dyson vacuum, I'm willing to wager that they've got some really creative process here...they -are- masters of vortexes, after all. I'd also guess that it's going to be hella expensive.

$300

you're welcome."

i predict you need a new one every year to keep it functional
small fans wear out and get filled with dust, fast

It is magic! It must be Jesus powered.

It has blades, they're in the base just blowing air through the tube.

Here you go, answers. Well sort of...:

Now that is clever!
