Okay, so how do we get this into our mods? :think:

(I love how that's my first thought. COMPUTER NERD! lol)

Can you explain how it works a bit better i read it and just made me more confused.
So cool though.

This tech could make for some of the coolest mods... :rolleyes:

Magic unicorn dust. I'm pretty sure that's how it works. lol

Saw a guy put an ionizer in a PC case-300CFM of air with no moving parts, but some high voltages. Ended up as I remember going out in a spectacular wash of blue fire. He messed up the ionizer, I believe, when he rewired it.

There are awesome ideas out there-we need to be unafraid to try them.

Was that the first or second build? I wish i could find it but limited googling didn't result in anything. Anyway I seem to remember the second one being a cleaner and/or simpler setup.

You do realize there is still a fan in the base, right? It is pulling air from the base and channeling it into the ring. When the air is expelled from the ring it causes a suction that will draw more air in through the ring and thus its an air multiplier.

What I was thinking exactly! Besides its a Dyson. You can gaurntee it will be 15x what a normal fan would cost!

It's more than a bit expensive. $350 for a vacuum when all high end vacuums cost $250+ is understandable, but a $300 fan in a $20 fan market . . .

. . . for 100$ I might consider . . . if I were feeling really flush . . . and had everything else I ever wanted.

[Zephik]

I'd rather buy a vornado. These are very cool looking, but c'mon, for $300? Ridiculous. Maybe if it was better than ANY vornado, but I doubt that it is. Highly doubt.

By the way, if anyone here wants a really good fan, vornado's are awesome, if not a tad expensive. But, you really only need one per house level. Funnel one of those babies onto a CPU heatsink and overclock like mad gone crazy. haha

There is no fan in it. "It is an energy efficient brushless motor. A combination of the technologies used in turbochargers and jet engines generates powerful airflow." :D
How it works. Hold mouse over number for example.

There is actually a fan in the base of the fan. It sucks up the air and shoots it through the slits I think.

[knowledgegranted]

That is mad cool! I want to see it go commercial.


It would take all the fun out of yelling and sticking things into the fan though....

The Brushless motor by itself wont move any air by itself. Just like jet engines and turbochargers its still turning some blades that move the air into the base and out the "slits"

Or standing in front of it saying... "Luuuke.. I am your father...." :D
