What I learned today... Dyson is a man and not just the name of a company. 😅 Such a good video! Loved getting to know who this man is and the impact he has had. Loved hearing his perspective on things.
There's a video on the Thames TV channel of James Dyson in 1983 with his first dual cyclonic vacuum cleaner, 5 years after he started prototyping it in 1978 and 10 years before the first mass-market version of it in 1993.
What I immediately noticed about the pencil sharpener, with its vertical orientation and its graphite colour, is that you “dip” your pencil in it as one would dip a quill pen in an inkwell, recharging your utensil with its colour. Ready to draw. I LOVE that.
I love how he said, "These are the right questions to be answering." Because in design, often times, you have to ask the right question to solve a problem.
@@kryptonitegoingreen7457 well said. selling things that other ones invented and even commercialized ages before him. but i admire him either way. salesman expert.
sometimes selling too much snake oil but it comes with the territory with that kind of people. kind of like elon musk. but world need good sellers as it need incentives to innovate.
7:55 I think what Sharron Paul wanted to hear is: The bladeless fan has a fan with blades. It's inside the enclosure and it pushes the air out of the slit.
That’s exactly why I wrote it off, but his explanation makes me think I was wrong. If the air pushed by the blades in the base is 1/20 of the airflow, then maybe the circular part *is* the fan

@@1SSJA Most likely. I worked customer care at an online fashion retailer, and I now hate most fashion brands with a passion (Superdry logistics can go frick themselves)
This man is a national treasure. He manages to sound intelligent and humble. There is nothing Dyson produces that isn’t good, and they have shaped and created entire industries and pushed boundaries on stuff we use we very day now; batteries and electric brushless motors. Dyson know more about battery management and cells than most tech companies let alone EV producers.
i've got 2 patents and i'm absolutely appalled by the patenting system. they will go through patents all over the world before they register yours, but when they do - your invention is only protected in your country! anyone can copy it as long as they do it outside your country. making an international patent is simply too expensive and yet, even though it's called "international", you have to apply for patent in every single country in which you plan to sell your stuff! and you have to pay for it every single year. small inventors like me are simply hostages of the system. you can't compete with corporations and they can either steal your thing and produce it in whatever country where your thing isn't protected, or use this fact as leverage to pay you less for your patent than you deserve. it's absolutely appalling.. that's why most of patents we see are design patents that only last for 5 years and they become irrelevant anyway, like a car exterior or a phone design - every one gets patented every time. but it's done mostly for protection against patent scammers which is yet another hole in this whole patenting system.. the rare real inventions are usually in pharmaceuticals today, things you can't easily copy (or even comprehend), but it's rare.
@@roland9367 that depends on the idea and what you plan to do with it later. It is best to hire a patent lawyer (there's probably a name for it in english) - he will do the search if similar ideas have already been patented, prepare documents (with a bunch of engineering slang), submit it and guide the rest of the process. So it's more about the $ rather than time really. Also, you should remember that if you publish your idea anywhere it becomes public knowledge in 6 months and you can't patent it afterwards (assuming the people in patent bureau find it at public sources cuz they will also be searching for similar ideas, drawings or whatever)..
Despite the high cost, my Dyson vacuum was one of my best purchases. Simple and practical design, makes vacuuming fun and easy. Plus, I always get compliments on it
The answer to the thumbnail question is: Dyson's bladeless fan is not bladeless. It just hides its perfectly normal bladed blower-fan inside the base of the appliance, and distributes it to the ring with ducts, at very low efficiency.
@@yega3k Induced flow isn't magic, and it exists in bladed fans too. Doesn't change the power/efficiency dynamics of spending so much power on friction. At best you have a low-power fan for people who hate low-frequency blade turbulence.
Last question/answer - YES! I’ve been arguing exactly that for years, with very poor results. Designers and engineers scoff at one-another, while that should be one - a coherent unit. Design must follow engineering and engineering must allow design. Thank you, I will play that to all my students, so they don’t think I’m an old craizie.
Could listen to him answering questions all day, super chilled, intelligent and straight to the point! Love it! Also very well spoken english ! Just admiration ! 👍🏻✔️
That's so nice, besides learning alot of new things, I enjoy this episode of 'Support' because of how calm yet approachable, and understandable it is. Thanks to everyone who participated in it's making, especially the genius himself~
Gotta love how even he acknowledges that copyright and patent laws have completely failed their original purpose and are only useful to already big and rich companies by this point
I have a feeling that's part of the reason why he voted brexit. However there is still much hubris on his part that our politicians would do a better job than the EU
Yes there's nothing revolutionary about it, just different packaging. It works on the same principal as a leaf blower or compressed air duster. You have a small high-pressure jet of air that causes the surrounding air to be sucked into the stream, increasing the flow and decreasing the velocity.
@@MattBlank0 It's supposedly rather silent and the air is allegedly flowing more steadily. The sound of a regular fan can be annoying to me. But that's it.
@@NitroLemons I think they're joking that something Dyson said in the full q&a session would result in him getting #MeToo'd for inappropriate conduct. ...which is honestly a very weird and revealing joke to immediately jump to.
It's funny how Dyson mentioned that he managed to defy the experts' opinions when developing his cyclonic vacuum cleaner separation systems, and then a few questions later, he gave his expert opinion on why noisy hand dryers are difficult to avoid. That said, I'm sure that he's very supportive of potential innovations that can make hand dryers become quieter (as what his own company is attempting to do).
I spent 5 years in Dyson's UK RDD department and the amount of time, effort and money that's being spent researching sound diffusion and suppression by the Acoustics Team is quite something. If anyone discovers a way to silence high powered air flow is will be Dyson.
I subconsciously associate quiet hand dryers with weakness. I think of older hand dryers that blow a negligible amount of air and heat and leave all the water on my hands. I want the jet turbine blast offs of the Xcelerators or Dyson Blades.
@@redrob6026 I wonder if you could have it so that the page stays in the same spot, and its just the printhead that moves. That would prevent paperjams, but then you'd be at risk of the printhead jamming. Still since the printhead doesn't have obstructions (paper) in it constantly, that should be less jammy I would think. A tiny fist could punch the top sheet into the receptacle tray when each page finishes, and then it just prints on the next page down so the stack never moves.
I like this interview. As an engineer myself, it was very insightful to see the issues that exist in designing a new product. James Dyson did an amazing job in the interview and it was particularly fascinating for him to give candid answers. Well done James :)
As someone who designs and builds things for fun. I have to agree with James, Design and Engineering are indeed something that should be the same. These days not everyone are so simple, they want something that works but they want it to look good too, so why only study one subject or the other?
It's complicated. Generally you would want to have all kinds of people. You need experts who know everything in their very narrow field. The depth of knowledge can be critical for some products. But there are specialities that are all about combination. I, for example, studied mechanical, electrical engineering, robotics, programming, and basics of business & design.
I think it will continue to evolve that way and maybe we will get there. At the moment, the amount of knowledge and concerns involved in just designing the functional part of, say, a software system, are just so complex that a lot of the engineers don't want to take holistic view of designing the "interface" part.
Bruh, you can't have cheap products if you combine design into everything that is engineered. Some things need to be cheap or most people wont have them. Good philosphy for rich buyers and expensive luxury items but who want to pay more money if they same thing they get fits better? Not poor people that's who. What poor person you know has a dyson anything?
Tell us how much he has actually done and then compare those things he has done to inventions like the mobile phone, MRI, aeroplanes, submarines, LLMs, etc.
Yeah that one struck a chord with me too. As an engineer who was always more interested in design, I was pretty bummed when I graduated and realized how few design focused jobs were available. So now I'm in grad school lol, they let me design stuff here.
This was awesome to watch. I literally want to go out and buy a Dyson product now because of this man, great information, super genuine and you can tell he is a true engineer and pioneer, and cool dude
More like the opposite person. James Dyson being the one with good ideas while Tim Cook is the expert of obvious bad ideas that he will have to reverse in the coming years.
I have never designed a product but I have helped customers design their rooms and electronic systems. I like to think that if you are really good at your job then sometimes you know what the customer wants even if they say they don't. Unfortunately that can often include down-selling which obviously no one wants to do. A lot of the time "less is more" even if money wasn't an option. Even if the customer insists they want all the bells and whistles.
Hearing his design philosophy, I really want to give him a Lamy pen. Their sort of plain unembellished design that follows function seems right up his alley.
This is a man who invented and designed everything he is accredited for yet ironically like he says about the mini, because he isn't flashy or focused on pr he has obviously sold well but isn't given the same credit as Steve jobs or musk
I looked up things he has invented and there different things compared to what Elon is into inventing. Not saying his inventions aren’t important but I think people get more excited about phones and rockets compared to vacuums.
@@taylortoggaf8543 Elon hasn't "invented" anything. He has invested in specific technologies but to credit him with inventing anything is like saying Ashton Kutcher invented Twitter.
I hope one of the questions was “why did you push for Brexit only to move your Uk manufacturing to Singapore conveniently after they signed a Free Trade agreement with the EU?”
Dyson is a great engineer and designer. too bad his products are sold at such a high margin. The blade-less fan pretty much loses to a 30 dollars fan, the rest of the products have some fierce competition. The good thing is that without Dyson's innovation we probably wouldn't have such a diverse market.
Their hand dryers are horrible and 4x the price of their competition, but they created demand and caused their competition to produce much better products than they had before.
Yeah, he isn't so much an inventor as he his a marketing genius. That vaccum tech been around for many years before him, just not in a small form factor. Need big waves to make the market change course.
im straight up going to buy a dyson. i love the respect and care this man showed, he really gave 100 on this interview. I also heavily relate to him and his funny moments lmaoaoa.
I didn't realize design and engineering were that separate. I have nothing to do with either, but in my imagination, it feels clunky to separate them, especially when creating something new. There's probably efficient processes for all of this, though.
There are some valid points to separate as they have different objectives. Engineers think production, practical result, cost and more and designer not so much
Can he use another material than soft plastic for the vacuum spindle teeth? The ones on the beater brush inevitably wear out or break before the rest of the rigid machine stops working. They are possible to replace, but the company does not sell them. I've seen people 3d print new ones.
He can, but he won't. The intent is for you to be forced to buy a new vacuum. Also, the bristles being stronger would make the vacuum more likely to damage fancy rugs.
@@maxpulido4268 To your first sentence: possibly. But to your second: You misunderstand. I don't mean the bristles on the beater brush. I mean the cog/sprocket/spindle mechanism that allows it to turn. On ONE attachment. The vacuum can still be used with out the brush spinning, but does not clean as well on carpets.
Hi, I have not worked on the vacuum you are describing, but if the company does not sell the part then they expect you to purchase the whole. Especially since a plastic gear would be a profitable part to sell over and over again at cents to the dollar. It sounds like the 3D printed gear would be the way to go. Did you try to purchase one? Also, all gears wear down, no matter what they are made of, but soft plastic gears are not as noisy as the harder materials like brass and are a fraction of the cost to make. So, replacing the gear with another material would just eat up the primary gear or break some other part--a waist of time and money.
Someone should've asked him how he thinks Brexit is going after he pushed for it, chatting about the great British workforce, only to move Dyson headquarters to Singapore a couple years later.
Nothing to do with Brexit. Many manufacturing businesses in Europe are moving production to Far East as it is too expensive to be based in Europe anymore. Dyson is doing the same. As well as the issue of closeness to suppliers, suitable skilled labour etc.
it’s basically unforgivable that his man openly encouraged people to vote for Brexit, then swiftly moved his business to Singapore screwing many people in the process both directly and indirectly. i couldn’t care less how his fan works. There aren’t many people i know who would anything he makes ever again.
Isn’t Singapore incredibly wealthy? I don’t see how it would benefit him to move his company there. Wouldn’t wages be higher? I’m just not familiar with the situation and want to learn more. Trying to grow my knowledge of the world
@@nicksurfs1 How i understood it was that the deals the far east had with imports to the EU made it a better choice than the UK after brexit. Which he publicly and actively supported as being good for British business…then left almost straight away.
He wanted to keep manufacturing in the UK however the council refused his expansion permits to make his facility bigger - they simply refused to allow him to expand.
Three minutes in and I can confidently say that this is one of - or maybe - the best _____ Support videos on this channel. The aluminium pen(cil) case with the sharpener function was magical.

7:55 I think what Sharron Paul wanted to hear is: The bladeless fan has a fan with blades. It's inside the enclosure and it pushes the air out of the slit.
That’s exactly why I wrote it off, but his explanation makes me think I was wrong. If the air pushed by the blades in the base is 1/20 of the airflow, then maybe the circular part *is* the fan
@@JB-fh1bb wouldn't that just make it an amplifier not the actual fan?
@@raphaelsolo definitely a valid point
It's just a ducted fan. There isn't any witchcraft at play.

Passionate about avoiding paying much tax too - going off his behind the scenes messages with the british PM. So he's yet another wealth hoarding billionaire who lobbies to reduce tax - how original: selfishness as a virtue. Happy to enjoy the benefits of civilisation - just not when it comes to paying for it apparently.
I once worked as a test operator in one of his factories in Malaysia. I can say, he's a genius with his inventions

This man is a national treasure. He manages to sound intelligent and humble. There is nothing Dyson produces that isn’t good, and they have shaped and created entire industries and pushed boundaries on stuff we use we very day now; batteries and electric brushless motors. Dyson know more about battery management and cells than most tech companies let alone EV producers.
i've got 2 patents and i'm absolutely appalled by the patenting system. they will go through patents all over the world before they register yours, but when they do - your invention is only protected in your country! anyone can copy it as long as they do it outside your country. making an international patent is simply too expensive and yet, even though it's called "international", you have to apply for patent in every single country in which you plan to sell your stuff! and you have to pay for it every single year. small inventors like me are simply hostages of the system. you can't compete with corporations and they can either steal your thing and produce it in whatever country where your thing isn't protected, or use this fact as leverage to pay you less for your patent than you deserve. it's absolutely appalling.. that's why most of patents we see are design patents that only last for 5 years and they become irrelevant anyway, like a car exterior or a phone design - every one gets patented every time. but it's done mostly for protection against patent scammers which is yet another hole in this whole patenting system.. the rare real inventions are usually in pharmaceuticals today, things you can't easily copy (or even comprehend), but it's rare.
almost like someone should patent a machine learning algorithm that can be used to confirm the patent digitally with very little human intervention.
Almost as if it's on purpose. Welcome to capitalism.
What do you invent?
I have some ideas too that I want to build (prototype) and patent, but I'm not sure how much time I should invest into the patent system.
@@roland9367 that depends on the idea and what you plan to do with it later. It is best to hire a patent lawyer (there's probably a name for it in english) - he will do the search if similar ideas have already been patented, prepare documents (with a bunch of engineering slang), submit it and guide the rest of the process. So it's more about the $ rather than time really. Also, you should remember that if you publish your idea anywhere it becomes public knowledge in 6 months and you can't patent it afterwards (assuming the people in patent bureau find it at public sources cuz they will also be searching for similar ideas, drawings or whatever)..
Despite the high cost, my Dyson vacuum was one of my best purchases. Simple and practical design, makes vacuuming fun and easy. Plus, I always get compliments on it

The answer to the thumbnail question is: Dyson's bladeless fan is not bladeless. It just hides its perfectly normal bladed blower-fan inside the base of the appliance, and distributes it to the ring with ducts, at very low efficiency.
Exactly

Like a hammerless pistol. It's not, it just hides the hammer.
You are oversimplifying it. The flow of air distributed to the ring actually causes 20x increase in air flow (as he explains at 8:26).
@@yega3k Induced flow isn't magic, and it exists in bladed fans too. Doesn't change the power/efficiency dynamics of spending so much power on friction. At best you have a low-power fan for people who hate low-frequency blade turbulence.
Last question/answer - YES!
I’ve been arguing exactly that for years, with very poor results.
Designers and engineers scoff at one-another, while that should be one - a coherent unit.
Design must follow engineering and engineering must allow design.
Thank you, I will play that to all my students, so they don’t think I’m an old craizie.
Could listen to him answering questions all day, super chilled, intelligent and straight to the point! Love it! Also very well spoken english ! Just admiration ! 👍🏻✔️
That's so nice, besides learning alot of new things, I enjoy this episode of 'Support' because of how calm yet approachable, and understandable it is. Thanks to everyone who participated in it's making, especially the genius himself~
Gotta love how even he acknowledges that copyright and patent laws have completely failed their original purpose and are only useful to already big and rich companies by this point
I have a feeling that's part of the reason why he voted brexit. However there is still much hubris on his part that our politicians would do a better job than the EU
The question we all came for: the bladeless fan isn't exactly bladeless, it has a small rotor inside the housing. This rotor indeed has blades.
Yes there's nothing revolutionary about it, just different packaging. It works on the same principal as a leaf blower or compressed air duster. You have a small high-pressure jet of air that causes the surrounding air to be sucked into the stream, increasing the flow and decreasing the velocity.
@@MattBlank0 It's supposedly rather silent and the air is allegedly flowing more steadily. The sound of a regular fan can be annoying to me.
But that's it.
It was called an Air Multiplier to start with, and people started calling it a bladeless fan, so they did.
And It' not a new idea either. Hovercraft push air through narrow skirt underneath..
And he completely avoided the actual answer to the question and never mentioned this part, which I find hilarious 😂
If you liked this. His episode of “how I built this” is a must listen. Truly a stand out in terms of how he started and grew his company.
I’m going to check it out, thanks
Must also look into him not paying his fair share of taxes. Dude is not great person and should take that into account. Maybe a good engineer.
I like how out of all the things this vacuum designer explained, the most cumbersome explanation was what "suction" is
In the end, isn't everyone just out for themselves? And maybe immediate family?
I really wish we could see his full answers. I imagine this was a much longer video that had to be edited down. Release the directors’ cut!

@@BlackMamba-lt8oe What are you talking about?
@@NitroLemons speaking in code
😂😂😂😂😂
@@NitroLemons I think they're joking that something Dyson said in the full q&a session would result in him getting #MeToo'd for inappropriate conduct.
...which is honestly a very weird and revealing joke to immediately jump to.
It's funny how Dyson mentioned that he managed to defy the experts' opinions when developing his cyclonic vacuum cleaner separation systems, and then a few questions later, he gave his expert opinion on why noisy hand dryers are difficult to avoid.
That said, I'm sure that he's very supportive of potential innovations that can make hand dryers become quieter (as what his own company is attempting to do).
yep, he also said they are "getting better at it"
Well he just said it's difficult. He didn't say it was impossible or that it would never be done, like he was told about cyclonic separation.
I spent 5 years in Dyson's UK RDD department and the amount of time, effort and money that's being spent researching sound diffusion and suppression by the Acoustics Team is quite something. If anyone discovers a way to silence high powered air flow is will be Dyson.
@@76Gazz sounds like they might discover new speaker technology too lmfao
I subconsciously associate quiet hand dryers with weakness. I think of older hand dryers that blow a negligible amount of air and heat and leave all the water on my hands. I want the jet turbine blast offs of the Xcelerators or Dyson Blades.
This person is one of a kind, being this grounded despite being such a personality now. He's the kind of guy I wanna be

"It's a printer"
Next up: The Dyson printer.
>:(
Quite possibly one of the most important sets of advice for inventors or business people. Gives plenty to consider, thanks Dyson.
The printer industry is such a scam, props to the man for being honest.
If someone could design a printer that could print without jamming and with less moving parts will dominate the market.
@@redrob6026 I wonder if you could have it so that the page stays in the same spot, and its just the printhead that moves. That would prevent paperjams, but then you'd be at risk of the printhead jamming. Still since the printhead doesn't have obstructions (paper) in it constantly, that should be less jammy I would think. A tiny fist could punch the top sheet into the receptacle tray when each page finishes, and then it just prints on the next page down so the stack never moves.
OK GO did a music video using hundreds of printers that never jammed. Super cool stuff.
@@Yvaelle Hmmm, interesting.....
You say that but he straight up lied about his "bladeless" fans lol
I’ve always loved his voice
I've just heard it for the first time but I agree
he sounds so calm and practical. A true engineer. Answered all the questions patiently.
So true: experts are "blinded" by experience. Wise words!
I like this interview. As an engineer myself, it was very insightful to see the issues that exist in designing a new product. James Dyson did an amazing job in the interview and it was particularly fascinating for him to give candid answers. Well done James :)
This was one of my favourite episodes. Please invite Mr Dyson for more
How am I just hearing about this guy? He is a pleasure to listen to.
I’d be surprised if this is the first time you’ve heard of him. Own a Dyson hoover, or any Dyson appliance?
Please do more with James, this was incredibly insightful
very happy a man like Dyson became financially successful, so many invertors in the past didn't have such luck.
“They say nature abhors a vacuum, what does that mean for your field?” Would have been a grand question to ask him
@@godografnaykvista that’s a norm Macdonald joke if I’ve ever heard one lmao
As someone who designs and builds things for fun. I have to agree with James, Design and Engineering are indeed something that should be the same. These days not everyone are so simple, they want something that works but they want it to look good too, so why only study one subject or the other?
It's complicated. Generally you would want to have all kinds of people. You need experts who know everything in their very narrow field. The depth of knowledge can be critical for some products. But there are specialities that are all about combination. I, for example, studied mechanical, electrical engineering, robotics, programming, and basics of business & design.
I think it will continue to evolve that way and maybe we will get there. At the moment, the amount of knowledge and concerns involved in just designing the functional part of, say, a software system, are just so complex that a lot of the engineers don't want to take holistic view of designing the "interface" part.
Bruh, you can't have cheap products if you combine design into everything that is engineered. Some things need to be cheap or most people wont have them. Good philosphy for rich buyers and expensive luxury items but who want to pay more money if they same thing they get fits better? Not poor people that's who. What poor person you know has a dyson anything?
This guy is literally a genius
Idk if ppl actually know how much he’s done
Tell us how much he has actually done and then compare those things he has done to inventions like the mobile phone, MRI, aeroplanes, submarines, LLMs, etc.
He looks like he would be such a nice grandpa!
Looking at those glasses would be hard to deal with on a regular basis.
Absolutely agree with his view on design and engineering being a completely symbiotic relationship.
it's a totally fair opinion, i'd go as far and say that design encopasses the project as a whole.
Yeah that one struck a chord with me too. As an engineer who was always more interested in design, I was pretty bummed when I graduated and realized how few design focused jobs were available. So now I'm in grad school lol, they let me design stuff here.
Design=Form
Engineering=Function
Form leads to function

I love how well thought out/ in depth his answers are.
you might say you love how well designed his responses are?😭😎
He really seems so nice, and his answers were so easy to follow
I have never designed a product but I have helped customers design their rooms and electronic systems. I like to think that if you are really good at your job then sometimes you know what the customer wants even if they say they don't. Unfortunately that can often include down-selling which obviously no one wants to do. A lot of the time "less is more" even if money wasn't an option. Even if the customer insists they want all the bells and whistles.
This was really good! Some genius inventors have a hard time explaining things to the layman but Dyson talks to the common man.
Hearing his design philosophy, I really want to give him a Lamy pen. Their sort of plain unembellished design that follows function seems right up his alley.
He only uses rotring mechanical pencils
@@hadesignite a venerable choice
This is a man who invented and designed everything he is accredited for yet ironically like he says about the mini, because he isn't flashy or focused on pr he has obviously sold well but isn't given the same credit as Steve jobs or musk

When I heard about “Dyson” I always thought that man must be a genius! After watching this video, that has been confirmed
I hope one of the questions was “why did you push for Brexit only to move your Uk manufacturing to Singapore conveniently after they signed a Free Trade agreement with the EU?”
Would be great if it was

Exactly
That would have been my question too
Good on you for sharing this Steven! This geezer is a w@#nk£r
Dyson is a great engineer and designer.
too bad his products are sold at such a high margin.
The blade-less fan pretty much loses to a 30 dollars fan, the rest of the products have some fierce competition.
The good thing is that without Dyson's innovation we probably wouldn't have such a diverse market.
If there's anything Dyson (the company) excels at, it's marketing.
Their hand dryers are horrible and 4x the price of their competition, but they created demand and caused their competition to produce much better products than they had before.

Hes not
I didn't realize design and engineering were that separate. I have nothing to do with either, but in my imagination, it feels clunky to separate them, especially when creating something new. There's probably efficient processes for all of this, though.
There are some valid points to separate as they have different objectives. Engineers think production, practical result, cost and more and designer not so much
Can he use another material than soft plastic for the vacuum spindle teeth? The ones on the beater brush inevitably wear out or break before the rest of the rigid machine stops working. They are possible to replace, but the company does not sell them. I've seen people 3d print new ones.
He can, but he won't. The intent is for you to be forced to buy a new vacuum. Also, the bristles being stronger would make the vacuum more likely to damage fancy rugs.
@@maxpulido4268 To your first sentence: possibly. But to your second: You misunderstand. I don't mean the bristles on the beater brush. I mean the cog/sprocket/spindle mechanism that allows it to turn. On ONE attachment. The vacuum can still be used with out the brush spinning, but does not clean as well on carpets.
@@Neenerella333 ah, that I do not know. Hopefully a third party will produce them until Dyson sues.
Hi, I have not worked on the vacuum you are describing, but if the company does not sell the part then they expect you to purchase the whole. Especially since a plastic gear would be a profitable part to sell over and over again at cents to the dollar. It sounds like the 3D printed gear would be the way to go. Did you try to purchase one? Also, all gears wear down, no matter what they are made of, but soft plastic gears are not as noisy as the harder materials like brass and are a fraction of the cost to make. So, replacing the gear with another material would just eat up the primary gear or break some other part--a waist of time and money.
@@jonathanjohnson8376 makes sense.
The fact that some people got their answers 11/12 years later !!
Worth waiting.
He was so close to saying China would steal your inventions if you don't move at the speed of light.
Someone should've asked him how he thinks Brexit is going after he pushed for it, chatting about the great British workforce, only to move Dyson headquarters to Singapore a couple years later.
Great workforce doesn’t necessarily mean abundance of engineers. Asia has that and Dyson already makes almost everything in Asia.
Nothing to do with Brexit. Many manufacturing businesses in Europe are moving production to Far East as it is too expensive to be based in Europe anymore. Dyson is doing the same. As well as the issue of closeness to suppliers, suitable skilled labour etc.
Just want to say thank you for doing this, honest, relatable while still interesting and helpful.
it’s basically unforgivable that his man openly encouraged people to vote for Brexit, then swiftly moved his business to Singapore screwing many people in the process both directly and indirectly. i couldn’t care less how his fan works. There aren’t many people i know who would anything he makes ever again.
Agreed! Absolute shyster.

Isn’t Singapore incredibly wealthy? I don’t see how it would benefit him to move his company there. Wouldn’t wages be higher? I’m just not familiar with the situation and want to learn more. Trying to grow my knowledge of the world
@@nicksurfs1 How i understood it was that the deals the far east had with imports to the EU made it a better choice than the UK after brexit. Which he publicly and actively supported as being good for British business…then left almost straight away.
He wanted to keep manufacturing in the UK however the council refused his expansion permits to make his facility bigger - they simply refused to allow him to expand.
His episode of How I Built This was great. It made me realize I should've been in school to be a Mechanical Engineer and not a Computer Engineer

When he speaks about integrating design and engineering it reminded me of how Steve Jobs believed in the same concepts.
