Dyson Finds Another Application for Its Tech: Powerful Handheld Fans

By Rain Noe - April 13

Now that Dyson's HQ is in Singapore, perhaps the balmy climate inspired this product: Their new HushJet Mini Cool, a handheld fan. It adapts the "Air Multiplier" technology that powers their vacuums, but has been reversed to blow air outwards, without using a bladed fan.

The device is remarkably powerful, despite its diminutive size: A tiny motor spinning at 65,000 rpms blasts a 55-mph breeze out of its business end.

At less than half a pound in weight, it's light enough to be worn around one's neck using the included lanyard. Alternatively it can be handheld or used while it's docked in its charging cradle.

The HushJet runs $100.
