The Dyson Air Multiplier is said to use 98% less energy then a standard air conditioner and incorporates the same technology as the Airblade hand-dryer. The Dyson fan looks like a magnifying glass with a ring perched on top of a solid base. The energy efficient brushless motor is housed within the base from where it draws air into the unit. From here, the air makes it’s way up the base until in leaves the fan through gaps within the ring itself. The indoor fan is capable of moving 27 liters of air per second.
Some of the advantages of the fan include that it is energy efficient and that it lacks blades so there is no risk of young kids hurting themselves. The main drawback of the Dyson bladeless fan will be price as this unit will retail for $300, at least 10 times more then what a basic fan sells for.
