Here’s a Dyson motorcycle concept that doesn’t ‘suck’!

Posted on by

You’ll blow right past your opponents…

Alright, enough with the Dyson puns. They don’t have that much wind in them (Okay, I promise that was the last one).

The Dyson Bike started as a mere warmup sketching exercise for Rashid Tagirov in 2019. Seeing how the aesthetic began taking shape, and finding himself with extra time on his hands in 2020, Tagirov decided to take his sketch to the next level and flesh it out in 3D. The Dyson Bike champions the British appliance company’s design language, turning mundane geometric forms into a well-balanced thing of beauty.

A uniting factor between Tagirov’s bike and Dyson’s products is the form-separation. Just like with Dyson’s product range, the conceptual bike breaks down the silhouette of a motorcycle into distinct, recognizable parts. The two wheels stand at the front and rear with hub-based motors on each of them, while the main mass is split into two masses, ostensibly the battery, and the bike’s main control unit. The seat protrudes right out of the main body, while arguably the most interesting feature is the bike’s dashboard, a thick translucent panel with a built-in LCD display that comes to life when you hit the ignition.

Pretty cool, eh? (And that wasn’t a reference to the bladeless fan)

Dyson’s new bladeless fan also humidifies as well as purifies your air with a UV-lamp

Talk about a triple whammy! Dyson’s latest iteration on its iconic bladeless fan, dubbed as the Dyson Pure Humidify + Cool, is the company’s first triple-function machine, engineered to provide a cool breeze, humidify the atmosphere, and filter out particulate matter from the air, bringing it to 99.97% purity.

The Dyson Pure Humidify + Cool is just a marvel of engineering from top to bottom. It builds on the Dyson’s Air Multiplier technology to create a strong, channeled stream of un-buffeted wind, even pulling in air from around the fan’s bladeless rim. The base of the fan pulls air in, passing it through a single high power UV-C light to kill 99.9% of bacteria in the air. A HEPA filter then captures 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns from the air, before passing it through a rehydrator, and then finally projecting hygienically humidified and purified air. The Dyson Pure Humidify + Cool even showcases the company’s latest feature – Jet Axis Control. Two jets on the sides of the rim help amplify the air further, creating the feeling of a natural outdoor breeze… a feeling that most would appreciate, considering how people are spending more time indoors given the current circumstances. “Dyson engineers collected over 40 million data points from eight locations on Dyson’s Malmesbury Research and Development campus and devised an algorithm to mimic natural airflow patterns using the machine’s oscillating barrels, to bring that refreshing breeze feeling indoors.”

The Dyson Pure Humidify + Cool is available starting August 11, in two color variants – white/silver and black/nickel.

This Dyson-inspired e-scooter can turn you into an electric vehicle ‘fan’

Posted on by

Dyson is hands down one of the most innovative companies out there. Before Dyson, did you ever follow any company that made vacuums on Instagram? It single-handedly turned vacuums into a status symbol and then ventured into playing the tech fairy godmother while transforming all the other pumpkin household appliances. Dyson has inspired many designers to adapt their style and create some amazing concepts, our recent favorite is the Dyson Moovo – an electric scooter modeled after their signature product designs featuring clean lines.

Electric scooters are soon going to become a preferred mode of transport for city commuters as they are environmentally friendly and easier on the pocket than a Tesla. Moovo’s design incorporates Dyson’s sleek and simplified aesthetics with their powerful engineering into an efficient electric scooter that you would be proud to own. The handlebar integrates the workings of a CPU that lets you control certain features of the scooter through its display like folding the handlebar or visualizing your trip’s data. The screen is anti-reflective so that you can look at the data under any light condition when outside. It features a 300W brushless motor in the front hub with a drum brake in the rear wheel and translucent mudguards to reduce visual weight on both ends. There is an easy control for the throttle along with a brake lever that is also included in the handlebar. Soft plugs guard the ends of the handlebar and absorb impact.

You can also adjust the height according to the rider and the anti-slip surface ensures their comfort + safety. Lock and unlock your scooter with your fingerprint and we won’t be surprised if this moves towards facial recognition in the future. The base features a sliding lock mechanism to detach the battery when needed and a sliding stand to make it stay upright effortlessly. The Dyson Moovo has the power to convert many people into electric scooter fans just as they turned many adults into Monica Gellers who love to clean!

Dyson won’t build ventilators for the UK after all

Dyson’s plan to make ventilators for the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic is over almost as quickly as it began. The company has halted its efforts after the country told it the CoVent breathing devices are “not required,” according to a statement fro...

This conceptual Dyson racecar is a 3D mashup of its most famous products!

Posted on by

I mean, this Dyson car isn’t intended for the road, but if it were, it would surely ‘blow’ its competitors away! Now that I got that joke out of my system, let me present to you the Dyson EV, by Graham Hutchings. Designed as a fun exercise, Hutchings took Dyson’s brand and products and rather than using them as inspiration, turned them into building blocks. What you’re seeing is an EV that was literally put together as a 3D collage of Dyson’s famous products, all of which are pretty distinguishable if you take a closer look!

The car comes with wheels that borrow directly from Dyson’s ball vacuum, as well as a multi-cylinder rear exhaust that’s a standard element in Dyson’s vacuum line too. Move over to the front and the car comes with an engine-cooling air-intake inspired by Dyson’s Airblade hand-blower, and if you look at its headlights with a keen eye, you may just see the iconic shapes of the Bladeless fan too. The car employs Dyson’s signature color combinations too, and my favorite detail on the vehicle by far has to be those Supersonic hair-dryer-inspired rear-view mirrors! Pretty neat, eh??

This conceptual Dyson ventilator reduces 95% fine dust in urban farms!

Posted on by

Breathing is such an automated bodily function that it doesn’t even occur to us to think about what we are actually inhaling. Fine dust is not seen by the human eye but we very well know when that same speck of dust goes in our eye, it wreaks havoc. Similarly, for any living organism to be breathing in fine dust is harmful because at the moment we won’t see its effects and it will keep accumulating to cause big trouble later. Humans can still comprehend this and take precautions, but what about plants? With the growing trend of urban and city farming, fine dust can be a dampener on our sustainable efforts and overall health.

This conceptual Dyson air purifier, Ventila, is specifically designed to combat the fine dust problem in city farms. Ventila’s aim is to improve the ventilation system in these farms to create a healthier environment that results in a quality crop – pesticides are not the only toxins we consume and we must learn to be more aware of where we source our food from. Ventila has a simple but effective mechanism, it creates a barrier by merging vapor with fine dust. When both combine, the mere weight of the particle makes it drop to the ground with the water. Condensation but now it wears a cape!

The Ventila prototype was created to see how effective this method will be, to understand the results better, there has to be a number attached to the impact which the experiment provides. The water rises through a pipe in the ventilator and 12 pumps are used to convert it into water vapor. This water vapor is evenly dispersed using the basic working module of a humidifier. The prototype was tested and was found to keep 95% of fine dust particles at bay which instantly improves the quality of the plant’s health (and invariably ours) by A LOT. The build is made to be as transparent as possible so the farmers can see the health of the device too and maintain it well. We can wear masks but plants can’t, so let’s make design inclusive for all living organisms.
