NEW VAX LINE
Original Message Oct 1, 2009 7:07 pm

Seen the new VAX line of bagless yet? better quality and performance?...at a far lower price.

Some say its stolen Dyson tech...some say its VAX xposing Dyson as a rip off [over priced] over hyped vacuum......that dyson is slipping[sinking brand]...that a dyson can be had at a fraction of the cost and with a warranty thats actually useable.......solved all the dyson flaws.....without the dyson shaft at the register. That VAX has zeroed in on dyson and plans to come at him head on. If this is true ..then some drastic changes are due at dyson ....and another dyson [im a victim] lawsuit will come.......as always.

This is the kind of silly thing that can spark interest in science by children who wonder where the fan blades are.

While it's not practical enough to be sold at a vacuum store, once can appreciate invention for the sake of invention. I certainly agree with you that $300 is a ridiculous price for a fan. However, put the application in a military or medical setting, and perhaps there's something there. The market will decide if there's an application for this product.

Hello Severus:

Agree. In fact Roomba did this with its robotics. For 10 years it made robotic bomb detectors and detonators for the military before applying the same principles to household robotic vacuums. When it did, Roomba sold over 500,000 robotic vacuums in just 6 months of launch in October 2002.

Wonder what happened to the all the buzz about the dyson robotic that was floated here by the dyson "insiders" in the know. M00seUK had it right in 2004 when he said it was probably too late for dyson to enter this market. Roomba had the lock on it from the get go. In business it's not just about the product and price. It's about market timing. Dyson was too late.

Ah yes, the Venturi effect.

The pressure at "1" is higher than at "2" because the fluid speed at "1" is lower than at "2".

A flow of air through a venturi meter, showing the columns connected in a U-shape (a manometer) and partially filled with water. The meter is "read" as a differential pressure head in cm or inches of water.

Hi Carmine,

Is this the way a vacuum's sprayer attachment operates?
