Dyson Airblade Invention Story
It started with the development of the DC12. There was a need for a smaller canister vacuum for the Asian market. This led to the creation of the Dyson digital motor, which was more efficient, reliable, and smaller than traditional motors. As rotors passed along the Dyson digital motor production line, they were dried using air knives – high intensity sheets of air that scraped water from the parts like a windshield wiper. A Dyson engineer noticed this and wondered if the industrial sheets of air could be used to dry anything else. The combination of the air knives with the Dyson digital motor created a hand dryer with great power and efficiency. The machine generated 420 mph sheets of air used to dry hands, opposed to traditional warm air hand dryers that relied on evaporation. The Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer was born.

Airblade™ technology has evolved
Dyson Airblade™ hand dryers are powered by the Dyson digital motor V4 – its small size and power density are what have made our hand dryer technology possible. It means you’ll now find a quiet, hands-under dryer, a hands-in machine that works in just 10 seconds1 and even one that dries hands at the sink. All Dyson Airblade™ hand dryers have a touch free operation and a HEPA filter as standard.
