Since summer is in full swing across pretty much the entire Northern Hemisphere, specialized products that will allow users to enjoy significantly lower temperatures and an overall feeling of coolness are extremely welcomed. For this reason, James Dyson, the inventor of the Air Multiplier we talked about a few months ago, has come up with two new Dyson Air Multiplier fans, the AM02 Tower and the AM03 Pedestal, designed mostly for larger spaces and being able to provide a significantly improved airflow.

The AM02 Tower is slender and running track shaped to take up limited floor space. Drawing in nearly nine gallons of air per second, the machine amplifies the air 16 times creating a smooth and cooling airflow.

On the other hand, the Dyson AM03 Pedestal fan takes in nearly nine gallons of air per second and amplifies the air 18 times. Unlike other pedestal fans, which use a clamp to fix the height, AM03 Pedestal employs a constant rate Tensator spring to easily push or pull the loop amplifier to set the height and angle. The machine extends nearly nine inches for use in larger areas including living rooms and offices. It has no spinning blades, is easy to adjust and tilt.

As some of you might remember from our previous article on this subject, the Dyson Air Multiplier fans draw air in through a mixed flow impeller – a combination of the technologies used in turbochargers and jet engines. Only 7% of the air generated by Dyson Air Multiplier fans actually passes through the impeller, while 93% results from the inducement and entrainment of surrounding air.

Air is accelerated through an annular aperture set within the loop amplifier. This creates a jet of air, which passes over an airfoil-shaped ramp and channels its direction. Surrounding air is drawn into the airflow in a process known as inducement and entrainment.

Unfortunately, no other details (such as pricing and/or availability) have been provided thus far, but we promise to try and find out more on this issue in the near future.
