Dyson Airblade: “Dry my hand, Scotty!”
Filed under: Technology
James Dyson and his company have taken the liberty of guiding civilization toward state-of-the-art, space-age toilet hand drying with a device called the Airblade.
The Airblade uses two, flat, sheet-like jets of air, coming from either side of your hands and allegedly blowing at 400 mph, to squeegee your hands dry with air pressure. It’s sort of like the mammoth blow-dryers at the end of a carwash.
According to Dyson, it will save a business owner 80 percent on energy bills compared to the standard dryers, and 96 percent compared to buying paper towels.
Now that the urgent matter of drying our hands is fully settled, we can all move on to save Bengal tigers and African children and resume ogling the breasts of Hollywood celebrities.
