The chop-chop-chop sound of table fans and ceiling fans is a summer staple, but no longer! James Dyson, who became famous by taking the bags out of vacuum cleaners, has taken the blades out of table fans.

The Dyson Air Multiplier creates a soft, steady breeze without the need for clunky and sometimes dangerous fan blades. In simplest terms, this sculpture-like gadget sucks in air from the base and pushes it up into the ring. The air moving out creates a jet of air that sucks in even more air from the back, amplifying it 15 times. You’ll just feel a soft breeze and hear a soft whir. A small button on the base lets you adjust the speed of the air moving through the fan. You can also set it to swivel like a traditional fan. No blades means its safer for children (no little finger nicks!) and easier to clean!
