Shhh, Dyson Airblades Get 50% Quieter

Posted on 09/10/2013 by Long Tran

Dyson engineers have been busy perfecting their Airblade technology by re-engineering the sound. Reducing air rush noise and whining motor tones, Dyson has developed the dB hand dryer- 50% quieter than the original Dyson Airblade. This is the next generation of Airblade technology launching this week.

Powered by the new Dyson digital motor, the Dyson Airblade dB hand dryer is the result of 542 acoustic tests over 152 hours by 25 specialist acoustic engineers. Check out the video below and check out their acoustics laboratory!

New Dyson Airblade in a Tap

Posted on 05/02/2013 by i4u

Sir Dyson invented yet another way to dry your hands after washing. With Airblade technology in a tap, hands can be dried at the sink in 12 seconds. There's no need to move to a separate hand drying...

Dyson’s latest AirBlade dries your freshly washed hands straight from the Tap

While it was never the most original take on powerful commercial hand driers, the Dyson AirBlade has nevertheless been an admirable piece of public restroom kit. Now seven years since its official debut, the company's refreshed the super-charged water dissipator to be 5.5-pounds lighter, dubbing it the AirBlade mk2. Taking things a step further, a new V-shaped model can output the same 420mph blower speed in a package that's roughly sixty-percent smaller.

Dyson didn't stop there, though, as its Tap model brings the tech straight to the faucet. The stainless steel enclosure houses the same 1,400-watt DC brushless motor as the previous models, dispersing HEPA-filtered "sheets" of air through a single laser-cut slit in each of two wings that extend from the Tap's sides. The silenced, carbon fiber-enclosed motor is positioned away from the sink whether it's on a wall or a counter, leaving only the streamlined faucet in view. More interesting yet, we're told it reaches 92,000RPM in about 0.7 seconds! Of course, the system is totally automated, with infrared sensors for the water and dryer portions. Sure, over-engineered does come to mind, but we can't say we wouldn't be giddy to get our mitts under one at some point.

As it stands, hand-washing connoisseurs can begin placing orders for the Tap come February 5th, and the others in May. For now, you can get your hands ~~dirty~~ (clean?) by clicking past the break for the obligatory detailed press release and video demo.
