cool concept.

he's definitely exagerating the "choppiness" of a regular fan though. they don't send chunks of air as much as a neverending spiral of air. unless you sit right next to the fan, you wouldn't notice any choppiness.

it looks quiet, but i also doubt it moves nearly as much air as a regular fan can.

and i bet it will cost $TEXAS.

I'd have to compare it to the Bose Wave radio. A definite improvement over the old standard, but at many times the price, the actual value is questionable, at least for those to whom money matters.

I agree. It's a fascinating but mostly useless innovation that'll for the foreseeable future (until the ~$300 price tag drops by about 90%) remain nothing more than a luxury/novelty item.

You gotta admire this Dyson bloke, though. He invents some very cool stuff.

Next is the spoon without the handle. Handles are simply uncomfortable and ultimately useless for those without fingers.

Duz want!

small blades require much higher rpm and noise. and normal fans also "multiply the air" by creating negative pressure behind the fan.

i'm sure it would be safer than a normal fan if fan injuries were common but they aren't.

i don't really see a purpose for this device
