Air Multiplier Technology
Dyson Air Multiplier and Dyson Hot use air multiplier technology, claiming they can circulate air without the need for blades. In fact the blades are hidden in the base and force air up into the exhaust vent, which is shaped like a large circle. Dyson claims air flow is multiplied 15x by the Air Multiplier (the circular exhaust vent) and 6x by the Dyson Hot, providing a smooth stream of air. However, the total airflow is lower for the amount of energy consumed than for a more conventional fan.

Famous quotes containing the words air and/or technology:
“At length, having come up fifty rods off, he uttered one of those prolonged howls, as if calling on the god of loons to aid him, and immediately there came a wind from the east and rippled the surface, and filled the whole air with misty rain, and I was impressed as if it were the prayer of the loon answered, and his god was angry with me; and so I left him disappearing far away on the tumultuous surface.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV. You talk to children and they don’t hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.”
—Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
