      It turned into a heated argument with a manager who, in the middle of project she complains is “taking too long” (despite constant scope creep, moving targets of adding stuff and changing expectations)…she walks up to my desk with her home modem/router she got from ISP. She kept saying it’s “wireless” but didn’t understand that 1. You still needed to plug the coax into the wall and 2. YOU STILL NEEDED TO PLUG THE POWER CORD INTO THE FUCKING WALL

  Its true there is a fan in the base of all bladeless fans, but the fan is smaller then traditional fan designs and moves the same if not more air then traditional fans.

  Air is pulled in through the base and forced through a thin slit. This fast stream of air creates an area of low pressure, drawing in and amplifying surrounding air.

  Because air “sticks” to itself, when you get some air moving (by breathing out, for example), the initial bit of air that you move “drags” some air with it from beside and behind. This is what Dyson calls “air multiplier technology”.

  Dyson uses this property of air to claim that they only have to move a fraction of air (with the fan in the base) of all the air that blows past you.

  Here is a example of how this works, and how you can use one breath to fill a large bag.

    still a miss-labeling to call them bladeless fans, just because the blades are hidden. by that logic my beef raviolis are vegetarian (tbf: the catholic church made a similar claim during the medieval ages).

    Bernoulli Fan is not only more accurate, it also sounds much cooler.

    source

    • agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      To play devil’s advocate, there are no exposed blades at the point of use. I’d wager people who buy “bladeless” fans are more concerned with aesthetics and avoiding a crying toddler than they are with semantic accuracy. We call Wi-Fi “wireless” even though the router is plugged in.

      Well, Beef comes from cows, and cows only eat vegetation, so beef raviolis are vegetarian. Now, I’m not a Rocket Biologist, but I think the math here is pretty conclusive.

    A traditional fan also pulls air from around its blades using the same principal. A bladeless is just a gimmick it has no actual benefits.

      Of course they have benefits. Depending on the situation of course. I wouldn’t put one in my computer, but I sure as shit have one in my home with a kid running around. Turns out a fan with all the heavy spinning hardware stuff in it’s base is less likely to fall over than one with all that stuff up on top. Honestly all my Dyson stuff work fucking great for their intended purpose.

      Paying the absolute minimal amount for something isn’t necessary the goal of life. You’re not a corporation.

    Smaller fans = more noise

    And why isn’t a regular fan getting the “surrounding air” to move too? Is there a subscription for that?

    It’s most probably dyson bullshit (the moved extra air is slowing the original air down, or it’s magic) marketing.

    Magnets!

      Yeah don’t understand the hype for dyson, for (almost?) every category they have a product for there’s a higher quality product for a lot less money.

      They really seem to have perfected their marketing…

    And yet despite the fact that they’re using less electricity and a smaller fan somehow the product costs five times as much as a normal fan. How does that work?

    source

    • Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Partly because of the overall quality of the fan. Like you can go to Walmart and get a comparable bladeless fan for 49.99 but it’s gonna be louder, won’t be as efficient and won’t last as long.

      source
  • ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Fans are usually loud in proportion to their speed. Quiet ceiling fans have a big diameter and many blades. Doesn’t a small fan cause a lot of noise?

    source

    • HikingVet@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Honestly depends on speed, quality of bearings and motor, blade geometry and thickness as well as any possible enclosures.

      The biggest source of noise with fans is air cavitation.

    Speaking of the dyson. IMO one of the worst fans out there: extremely weak (see measurements on YouTube), extremely loud and very fragile… Have one in the office, and I hate it…

    A classic fan, fraction of the price performs better in all relevant categories…

    Btw. They also create a “bigger” airflow around them so in that regard not better…

  • D_C@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I remember going to the local waste dump about two or so years after the Dyson vacuum cleaner came out and seeing a shit ton of them in a shipping container. As I was throwing my rubbish away I asked a worker why and got the reply that a specific part inside always breaks so they put them all together and a company collects them to fix up as resell.

    Which was a good thing to do, but I left there thinking, “yeah I’m not ever buying a Dyson anything.”
    I’ve not followed the company but it does seem that every time they bring out a product all they’ve done is reinvent the wheel and then marketed the shit out of it.
