  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.

      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.

      You know … Bernoulli Fan - that’s way better idea than a room full of MBAs from expensive business schools and months of market research and focus groups with 2 way mirrors ever came up with. Well done

    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.

      Thank you.

      Much like Sharper Image’s Ionic Breeze, this is a very expensive bullshit tower, but I am seeing them everywhere lately. Box fans are fucking amazing. Get a box fan.

    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!

      I got one years ago when they still were a lot cheaper and I must say it’s the best one I ever had. It’s powerful and so quiet that I can leave it running next to my bed when it’s hot.

    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 ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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.

  Ionic wind generators also exist. Cool to have a particle accelerator but not very strong and catches dust (that’s why they’re called “air purifiers”)
