Counted from the photo, down to the last screw.
- What it is
- A fan heater with no blades you can see
- Made by
- Dyson, from the UK
- Runs on
- Mains power
- How it works
- A hidden fan pushes air out of a thin slot in the ring. A heater warms it.
What is inside
- 1The ring: the tall blue loop is where the air comes out. It leaves through a thin slot that runs all the way round.
- 2The fan: the fan is real, it is just out of sight. It sits in the base and pushes the air up into the ring.
- 3The wires: look at the right side of the photo. A lot of this machine is wiring.
Fun fact 1 of 5
It does have blades.
They are hidden in the base, where a small fan pushes air up into the ring.
Fun fact 2 of 5
Most of the air is not from the fan.
Air shoots out of the slot and drags the air round it along. Dyson says its first fans like this moved about 15 times more air that way.
Fun fact 3 of 5
Dyson was not first.
Toshiba patented a fan with no blades in 1981 but never sold one. Dyson’s first patent claim was turned down because of it.
Fun fact 4 of 5
The ring is shaped like a plane wing.
That shape is what pulls the extra air in from behind.
Fun fact 5 of 5
The heater is not meant to smell.
Dyson says the hot parts stay under 200°C, so the dust on them does not burn.
