Hi Carmine Never seen attic fans until i moved to the south..where its really humid. But i still have my $30 high vlcty aloha breeze 20in fan from wally thats not too loud and works wonders in a stuffy house ....shop. a true blessing when the a/c goes out on a humid day in concert with cieling and attic fan....dont know how you guys lived without no a/c back in the day...... turtle
You don't miss it until you've had it. Humidity is not a problem here in the desert. Tops 10 percent humidity with 120 degree temps in July. Winds and sand are huge problems even on very hot days. 2 reasons also for not opening windows and/o using fans that are exposed and/or subject to these outside elements.

Well . . . people opened windows and doors. That's what screens are for. (Grandpa always said, there's more than one way to skin a cat.) AND if the house was well designed air would start moving. The whole-house/attic fan helps the idea along.
Unfortunately a lot of what was done in past may only be good for some -- especially in places where everybody's piece of the pie is stacked on top of someone else's. Venson

Looks like Sir James' conservative candidate Cameron didn't make the cut with only 309 votes. Neither did Brown or Clegg. Bad scitchiation. Especially with Greece and the euro. Our strongest and best ally is having a very bad day. Any predictions on when the next election will be held? I'm betting before Nov 2010. Have to see what the Vegas line says. BTW anyone who thinks finger fumble caused the 998 NYSE DOW decline in 6 minutes yesterday must be a bagless vacuum buyer with the mantra the higher the price the better the product! Carmine D. Oreck would be a good product rather than just an expensive broom if higher price was part of the criteria.

Amazing you Brits. Brown steps down; Cameron and Clegg, as unlikely partners as dyson and ORECK, form a coalition UK government. Wonder if this is a precursor of things to come in the vacuum world? Carmine D.
Curious...are the dyson new hires and his current team all dedicated to the design/engineering of his vacs or are they spread out in diff divisions..alotted so much time for each project.....how many design team/engineers does his compitition have [riccar pansc hvr..ect] .
With his new hires...would that not reflect as a positive for dyson and the future. turtle

Hi turtle,
Is this an update of the original article posted here? Dyson's claim was to take on 300 and some personnel for design. He did not say what exactlly they'd be working on. He also did not say when this would happen and he also left a big "if" in regard as to whether the UK educational system could provide worthy candidates for the proposed slots. (Whoa, what a kick in the teeth.) I don't think you need 300 or more people to come up with a bright idea just for a vacuum cleaner unless you're looking to flood the market with a dozen or so models all at once. It not cost effective. One would think, there's a Dyson fridge, TV or whatever else in the plan. In any event the gist of the article I posted a few weeks ago was more a press release than anything else. No newsworthy "where, when and how" was included. The other odd twist here is that if my recall is correct the amount of new hires will not compensate in relevant fashion for all those lost when he moved manufacturing out of the UK. Venson

Hi Venson, turtle...
It's not an update. Hertz posted the same article under a new thread yesterday [along with the dyson car lift trick] that you posted here on this thread. Carmine D.
