Dyson 110,000 rpm

[Tough Guy no. 1265]

That's just asking for trouble, Dyson products are unreliable enough as it is. 110,000 rpm?!?

I'm all for pushing the envelope. Sure, you get failures; but you also get progress. Personally, I tend to buy stuff that is a generation behind the current "latest thing". So I won't be paying an arm and a leg for his fancy fan. But I have one of the Animal cordless cleaners and it is the dog's whatsits.

At 110,000 rpm you could be comfortably into air bearing technology. The link doesn't seem to say, but remember that air bearings have been happily used in dentists' drills (but not many other places) for half a century.

I am surprised the airflow doesnt stall.

Is someone squeezing his testicles?

I'll quite happily buy something made by a decent manufacturer copying his idea, but not a Dyson. They cost 5 times as much and last a fifth of the time. Typical British engineering. He ought to get it farmed out to Japan or something.

[DerbyBorn]

Are you confusing "Engineering" (the science of designing a solution) with "Manufacturing" British Engineering is superb. Manufacturing can be done anywhere provided the design intent has been tightly specified and is followed by a Quality complient manufacturer with the correct capabilities.

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

They have been manufactured in Malaysia for the past 13 years, you stupid prick.

Says the idiot feeding the troll....

He's not feeding me, I killfiled him.

And I find it amusing you think I'm a troll. It just goes to show you can't handle being shown up as wrong on so many occasions. Just you go and cry into your comfort blanket. There there.

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

The Peter Hucker troll will never go away. But you did not know that. So, I will continue to take the piss out of him.

Of course neodymium brushless motors have been used for years in model aircraft boats and cars, Including ones that go up to over 100k RPM. On stock ball races..

Yet again Dyson is claiming to have 'invented' something that already existed elsewhere.

[Tough Guy no. 1265]

He's redesigned it so you have to buy a new one every year.

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

Ria Bright told me that you have a very small dick and that you were a boring shag. She said that you had Aspergers and that she was getting scared of you. She said that you were work shy, smelly and had no future. Nat said more or less the same, this is why she f***ed you off and married Brian. There is not much going for you is there Peter? How is your 16 year old Corsa going on? PMSL ...... @ your degree.

[The Natural Philosopher]

At that RPM it mostly does. That's about where a model aircraft electric ducted fan operates. (30-100K RPM) And they are a bit useless till the plane gets moving.

[Andrew Gabriel]

Well, Bosch thought sufficiently highly of the work Dyson was doing that they planted a spy worker in his research facility. He was found out when some Dyson engineering information was passed to Bosch's Chinese manufacturers.

The irony is that Dyson has now overtaken all the German vacuum cleaner manufacturers for sales in Germany itself, which is even more remarkable due to the strong German preference to buy their own products.

s/research/marketing

But Germans are the easiest nation to dupe. They probably think it *is* German.

News from 2013? Fuck, you are stupid.

Some of the older ones used to get their motors from a foreign company and they were not very reliable. I think the modern stuff has better designed motors. He does like to big up his ideas though, and in fact things that have helped in this area are CD DVD and helicopter drone motor development which are directly driven to give apparently a lot more torque when being run up to speeds that are very very fast. All this cordless stuff recently from Vax Bosch and Dysan is all well and good but they are all relying on more modern batteries and eventually we know their capacity reduces. As for mains powered cleaners, well its relatively easy to make a very fast motor. The problem is does the start up and control circuit get designed to be able to just cope or is it robust, cos if its not it could overheat the motor near start up. My Bosch mains cleaner has a speed control on it, but if you run it at megasuck it switches off after ten minutes and stays dead for nearly half an hour. A vax has a starter of some sort, yu can hear it stepping up to the full speed in about five seconds. So far so good. Brian
