Hum Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 LONDON ? A bladeless fan heater made using jet engine technology was revealed Thursday as the latest creation from the British inventor of the bagless vacuum cleaner. Sir James Dyson's latest device, called the Dyson Hot, can heat a room to between 34 and 99 degrees Fahrenheit by drawing in air through a pump and shooting it out through tiny gaps that create jets of warmth. The oval-shaped ceramic stone echoes the design of its hit predecessor, Dyson's ring-shaped bladeless fan -- which drew comparisons to a stargate on its release in 2009. The heater also uses the same Air Multiplier technology. The new remote-controlled gadget, which took 22 engineers three years to perfect, has no visible moving parts, it automatically cuts out if it topples over and it is not hot to the touch. However, the innovative device may burn a hole in the pocket -- at $400 it is around 40 times more expensive than the lowest price new fan heater available to buy from online retailer Amazon. Dyson said, "Other fan heaters rely on inefficient motors or dust friendly grills. As the heat rises you're left with a partially heated room and a worrying burning smell. Dyson engineers have developed a heater that produces no smell and heats the whole room. source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsX Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 "heat a room to between 34 and 99 degrees Fahrenheit" I don't speak silly, but Google tells me 34 ?F is equivalent to 1 ?C. Where I come from, heating a room to 1 ?C is stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I come from, heating a room to 1 ?C is stupid. I think the point is, you may want to keep a space above freezing -- such as a garage. Or maybe keep the pipes from freezing, in a kitchen, when you won't be home for a week. I will agree Dyson products are pricey -- but maybe they will last much longer than average products.

nominak Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Sometimes you want cold air, sometimes you want hot air. Its nice to have both extremes. But it doesnt do cold air, it just does regular fan stuff at the 32 setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
