It's a fan like nothing we've seen before.
James Dyson and Dyson Air Multiplier
Dyson, famous for the invention of the bagless hoover, have come up with another revolutionary idea: a fan with no blades.
The company say their engineers ran hundreds of simulations to precisely plot how the air flows through what they are calling the Dyson Air Multiplier.
James Dyson, the man behind the machine, said: "I've always been disappointed by fans.
"Their spinning blades chop up the airflow, causing annoying buffeting.
"They're hard to clean and children always want to poke their fingers through the grille. So we've developed a new type of fan that doesn't use blades."
The fan works by using a motor to draw air into the base of the machine which is then forced up through the loop of the machine and then out creating a jet of air.
The air then passes over a 16 degree airfoil-shaped ramp channelling it into the same direction and drawing air in from behind the fan which results in the airflow being increased 15 times.
An explanatory video on the Dyson website shows exactly how the new fan works.
Dyson say as a result of the technique the airflow is smoother than traditional fans.
