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:
“The animal merely makes a bed, which he warms with his body, in a sheltered place; but man, having discovered fire, boxes up some air in a spacious apartment, and warms that.... Thus he goes a step or two beyond instinct, and saves a little time for the fine arts.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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)
