The Bladeless Fan
Ever since Schuyler Skaats Wheeler introduced the electric
fan 127 years ago, there hasn't been much innovation in the
field. The old adage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
comes to mind. But who ever said it was perfect? Certainly
not James Dyson, which leads us to the bladeless, nonbuffeting
Air Multiplier. Air is pulled in through vents in the base
and then pushed out by a hidden impeller over a circular airfoil-shaped
ramp that runs inside the rim of the halo, creating an uninterrupted
stream of cool air. Because it's bladeless, the Air Multiplier
is safer than conventional fans, and it retains normal functions
like tilt, oscillation and speed control. It looks cooler
too.
