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:
“Speak the speech ... trippingly on the tongue; but if you mouth it ... I had as lief the town crier had spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently; for in the very torrent, tempest, and as I may say the whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Primitive peoples tried to annul death by portraying the human body—we do it by finding substitutes for the human body. Technology instead of mysticism!”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
