Dyson Air Multiplier
Five
years ago, Dyson bid farewell to the blade by inventing the world’s first
bladeless fan, the Dyson Air Multiplier™. Never satisfied, Dyson engineers have
spent the past three years improving their original design. They went to painstaking
lengths to acoustically engineer a fan that is 75% quieter than its
predecessor, while maintaining the same powerful airflow.
James
Dyson: “Getting rid of blades solved the frustration of unsafe grilles and
choppy air. But high speed air creates noise, which can be difficult to
disguise. Dyson Cool is engineered to deliver powerful, smooth air, without the
nuisance of noise.”
Acoustic
Engineering
High speed air
creates noise. But tuning out unwanted noise poses a significant engineering
challenge. A specialist team of Dyson
acoustic engineers designed a Helmholtz
cavity to capture sound waves travelling through the fan. The cavity alone
eliminates tones ofup to 1,000Hz; similar to the
tone produced by a mosquito’s beating wing.
How
does Air Multiplier technology work?
Air is drawn in by an energy-efficient, brushless
motor. Airflow is then accelerated through an annular aperture, passing over an
airfoil-shaped ramp, which draws in and channels its direction. This creates
and projects powerful, smooth, high velocity airflow.
The Dyson Cool™
fan
is the result of a £40 million pound investment in research and development.
Equipped with a remote control, a sleep
timer and ten precise airflow settings, the Dyson Cool™
fan allows you set
the time (up to nine hours), and go to sleep as it projects air to cool you.
Notes
to editors:
Research
& development:£40m was invested in developing the Dyson Cool™
fan range. Dyson spends £2.5 million every week on research
and development.
Recruitment:
Dyson employs more than 1,600 scientists and engineers who are developing the
next generation of Dyson technology. In 2014, there are plans to recruit400more
engineers in the UK. .
Patents: Dyson has 410
patents and 187 pending patent applications worldwide for the Dyson Cool™
fan
range. Globally, Dyson currently holds over 1,600 patents for over 400
inventions. Annually, Dyson spends over £2.5 million securing and maintaining
intellectual property rights for its technology.

Materials:
Dyson Cool™
fans are made from Acrylontride butadiene styrene –
ABS. ABS is a tough thermoplastic used to make
light, rigid and moulded products. It
has good shock absorbing properties and is used to make car bumpers, crash
helmets and modern golf club heads. It’s
used in Dyson vacuum cleaners and Dyson Airblade™ hand dryers too.
Tough: Destructive, endurance,
performance and reliability tests are carried out 24 hours a day, seven days a
week at Dyson. Every component is subjected to hundreds of tests and Dyson’s
unforgiving test team are tasked with finding faults and weakness.
Quiet:
The Noise Abatement Society has awarded the Quiet Mark to the new Air
Multiplier™ technology.
