I must admit this is pretty cool though. The airzone... the upper cube is impregnated with air purifying ionics and a natural outdoor scent. The base unit is a silicon block housing an ambient light. Heat from the light gently releases the vapour from the cube above, ionising the air and eliminating whiffs to give a natural forest smell.
You can change the cube to get different scents and ambient colours. Pretty damn fine bit of design for purpose and it actually looks really cool too. I have one and I'm very pleased with it.
£200 with a pack of ten ambiens (the cube part) and it really works well.
- Yeah, totally, its innovative design like this that pushes humanity forward. Great to see, well done Dyson.Khurram

wonders if this technology could be used within trains or buildings on a bigger scale. if there was ioniser involved as well it could create its own fresh air.

oh, I already own this by the way and its magic. Imagine a hot stuffy summers day inside working and instead of being hit by a gust of wind blowing your papers about and generally being cold yet annoying, you just sit in a room at a comfortable temperature. genius.
I say it again (tim), genius

I think its terrible this whole thing, whatever it is. What's wrong with waving your hand in front of your face like an effete French dandy and puffing air out of your face, like in the good old days before technology had the cheek to progress

this Dyson thingy looks like fun,
But does it gives you a robot voice when you talk near it??
I only buy fan for the free autotunes.

you lot can be a miserable bunch of cunts sometimes...
It's fucking fantastic, when was the last time you talked about a fan or even noticed it. About the only person who can hold a stick to Dyson is Ive. These people are designing stuff that people notice and provokes a reaction.
I love those videos on the site showing suprise and a smile. Lovely.
I spend 300 quid on a B&O phone because it's beautiful. That why people will buy it

technically it still has blades in the base.

This is exactly the reason I love QBN - such a broad spectrum of opinion and experience!

^ My mom used to make butter from a pint of full fat milk by adding a little spiral ball like that then getting me to shake it for about twenty minutes when I was a kid.
We couldn't afford to buy the nicely packaged designer butter.
- I'VE GOT IT! BUTTER THAT WAS CHURNED BY A BLADLESS AIR-CONE VORTEX!Orbit

I think this is revolutionary design in protein shaker bottles
You see, previous protein shaker bottles had a plastic grill in the lid to help mix your post-work out whey protein in the liquid. But this always left clumps unless you shook it for a really long time. However, with the addition of a revolutionary spiral ball, you can shake your protein up in a lot less time.
A must have for the gentleman about town.

Bwahahaa! you crack me up Tm.
I'm inclined to agree with you tho. That's what the whole of the design industry is innit. Reinventing the wheel. Creating problems and inventing solutions to them. Endlessly, For all eternity.
- Reinvent the wheel! THATS A BRILLIANT IDEA!!!
* Starts work right away...Orbit - What if it wasn't round....
*creates 'Shapes' moodboard.Orbit - What if it didn't turn...
* Creates 'Static Solidity' moodboardOrbit - Square wheels are actually better on bumpy roads. I saw it on How 2Khurram
- What if... IT USED ROTATEY TECHNOLOGY THAT WAS HIDDEN INSDE A PLASTIC DESIGNER HOUSING!!!Orbit

Why is this crap still in the list of topics? Its a fan. Its not a very good fan. This whole thing about buffeting is utter crap. A fan turning slowly still gets the air moving. You don't have to have a fan set to full hurricane speed if you don't want to. Its a techno gimmick for the mindless iphone generation who have not learned a fucking thing from this global financial crisis and will, for no reason other than being too weak to resist the need to have the very latest "cool item", go and spend hundreds of pounds/dollars/euros on a fan that basks them in a sense of self-value and allows them to feel like they are buying into a lifestyle of success and discerning taste.
This kind of shit is like crack. People are addicted to it. People who should know better will go and buy one of these, on a credit card probably, regardless of whether they need one, or whether its effective, or whether in the current climate they should really be spending 10x the average market cost on a weak arsed bit of marketing fluff. They'll just need to have it on their desk so they feel good about themselves.
Sickening. I hope they all develop faults and have to have the fan that's probably hidden in the base unit replaced under warranty.
*Switches on Emerson 12", set to low speed, to cool off from rant. Now that's a stylish fan, motherfuckers. If you want to be cool, get a vintage Emerson. Its the perfect fan for today's climate.
- The Emerson Silver Swan. A little pricey at $102, but what a rare beauty...
