The only reason I know this is because I'm a fan of Craig Ferguson and he had Mr. Dyson on his show. (Craig loves the vacuum "with the proper amount of suction.") Dyson said that the fan works on a version of Bernoulli's Principle. (Which Craig was familiar with being a pilot. :) )
Thanks! That now puts me about 10% of the way to understanding how the hell it works.

I'm not sure I understand what this has to do with the Bernoulli principle and I'm also a pilot. :confused:

But after doing a bit of research, this makes sense:


1 Dirty washroom air is sucked in by the Dyson digital motor.
2 It passes through a HEPA filter, removing over 99.9% of the bacteria from the air used to dry your hands.
3 The clean air passes over the electronics, cooling them.
4 The air then reaches the motor, which channels it up and through the machine.
5 Air passes into the air ducts, which are insulated to reduce noise.
6 It’s then forced through two apertures – creating sheets of air traveling at 400mph, which literally scrape water from hands.

ETA: and now that I know it uses a HEPA filter, I am slightly happier to use it.

meh I've actually been using a similar system to get water off my hands and off hardware after cleaning it at shops for 15 years...its called an air gun...works really good...probably where the idea came from...using a hepa filter and channeling it through the entire system IMHO just makes sense...Waste not want not...

HI Mac,

It has cooled down for the moment. I was driving by the cornfields today and realized how tall they are all of a sudden. They are selling sweet corn out on some of the corners now. Fall is coming.

I am on call but no one has called so far with concerns. Knock on wood. My daily check infound one of the nurses stuck herself with an insulin needle. So that is all the drama so far......

I got season 4 and 6 of Sopranos but I will have to find season 5.

Doing laundry and enjoying the alone time.

That's it.

How's you?

apparently some inquiring minds have been scoping out the site builder so its quite likely...the guy is likely to be in as much if not more trouble for building the site than anyone else...too many pics that publication rights do not belong to him...would serve him right...

this heat must be getting to me tho...took me awhile to see that one

no it won't...Canada has some pretty fierce anti stalking statutes...and I mean fierce...google it and see...I don't want to be him...that and any libel suits...wouldn't it be nice if due in no small part to this the Canadian ban on nic was lifted.....IDK wishful thinking...

Oh cumon Magnus...you know you can...I have made constant comment vape

I never thought to try Earl Grey despite my fondness for it...
