Dyson fans work very differently to conventional electric fans. They don't have fast-spinning blades that chop the air and cause uncomfortable buffeting. Instead, AM01 desk fans use Air Multiplier™ technology to draw in air and amplify it 15 times, producing an uninterrupted stream of smooth air.
Air is drawn in by an energy efficient, brushless motor. A combination of the technologies used in turbochargers and jet engines generates powerful airflow, which is accelerated through an annular aperture. Airflow passes over an airfoil shaped ramp, causing it to draw in and amplify air from around and behind the machine.
