4:16 - Reminds me of the story of Marvin Pipkin, a chemist who started working for GE. GE used to assign newhires the joke/impossible task of frosting lightbulbs - He wasn't aware it was supposed to be impossible and he developed an etching acid which not only frosted the bulbs on the inside but strengthened the glass. Never start out with too many assumptions - they will stop you before can even get started. E.g. 'They said this is impossible - so why try?'

What I learned today... Dyson is a man and not just the name of a company. 😅 Such a good video! Loved getting to know who this man is and the impact he has had. Loved hearing his perspective on things.
There's a video on the Thames TV channel of James Dyson in 1983 with his first dual cyclonic vacuum cleaner, 5 years after he started prototyping it in 1978 and 10 years before the first mass-market version of it in 1993.
I love how he said, "These are the right questions to be answering." Because in design, often times, you have to ask the right question to solve a problem.
No wonder he's done so well for himself, so incredibly smart and insightful! What he said about naivety being good was so refreshing to hear, employers are always looking for experience, it's so hard for people to start their careers.
Sending messages to Prime Ministers to change tax laws might be another reason too. Behind every billionaire is a mountain of tax they didn't pay. Or inherited.
I can’t tell you how many times my friends children helped me solve my problems in my math major! I had gotten so stuck in a certain perspective I couldn’t see the obvious right in front of me!
7:55 I think what Sharron Paul wanted to hear is: The bladeless fan has a fan with blades. It's inside the enclosure and it pushes the air out of the slit.
That’s exactly why I wrote it off, but his explanation makes me think I was wrong. If the air pushed by the blades in the base is 1/20 of the airflow, then maybe the circular part *is* the fan

This guy is such a great engineer. Saw a video a while ago where he presents some new products. Dude knew every little spec by heart and knows *exactly* how it works. I love to see such a hands-on CEO.
@@Molemanski he is a marketing expert and a random good engineer. who is in the place of a ceo... if a lead engineer don't know his stuff, he isn't an engineer
i've got 2 patents and i'm absolutely appalled by the patenting system. they will go through patents all over the world before they register yours, but when they do - your invention is only protected in your country! anyone can copy it as long as they do it outside your country. making an international patent is simply too expensive and yet, even though it's called "international", you have to apply for patent in every single country in which you plan to sell your stuff! and you have to pay for it every single year. small inventors like me are simply hostages of the system. you can't compete with corporations and they can either steal your thing and produce it in whatever country where your thing isn't protected, or use this fact as leverage to pay you less for your patent than you deserve. it's absolutely appalling.. that's why most of patents we see are design patents that only last for 5 years and they become irrelevant anyway, like a car exterior or a phone design - every one gets patented every time. but it's done mostly for protection against patent scammers which is yet another hole in this whole patenting system.. the rare real inventions are usually in pharmaceuticals today, things you can't easily copy (or even comprehend), but it's rare.
@@roland9367 that depends on the idea and what you plan to do with it later. It is best to hire a patent lawyer (there's probably a name for it in english) - he will do the search if similar ideas have already been patented, prepare documents (with a bunch of engineering slang), submit it and guide the rest of the process. So it's more about the $ rather than time really. Also, you should remember that if you publish your idea anywhere it becomes public knowledge in 6 months and you can't patent it afterwards (assuming the people in patent bureau find it at public sources cuz they will also be searching for similar ideas, drawings or whatever)..
Last question/answer - YES! I’ve been arguing exactly that for years, with very poor results. Designers and engineers scoff at one-another, while that should be one - a coherent unit. Design must follow engineering and engineering must allow design. Thank you, I will play that to all my students, so they don’t think I’m an old craizie.
Could listen to him answering questions all day, super chilled, intelligent and straight to the point! Love it! Also very well spoken english ! Just admiration ! 👍🏻✔️
That's so nice, besides learning alot of new things, I enjoy this episode of 'Support' because of how calm yet approachable, and understandable it is. Thanks to everyone who participated in it's making, especially the genius himself~
Yes there's nothing revolutionary about it, just different packaging. It works on the same principal as a leaf blower or compressed air duster. You have a small high-pressure jet of air that causes the surrounding air to be sucked into the stream, increasing the flow and decreasing the velocity.
@@MattBlank0 It's supposedly rather silent and the air is allegedly flowing more steadily. The sound of a regular fan can be annoying to me. But that's it.
@@NitroLemons I think they're joking that something Dyson said in the full q&a session would result in him getting #MeToo'd for inappropriate conduct. ...which is honestly a very weird and revealing joke to immediately jump to.
Gotta love how even he acknowledges that copyright and patent laws have completely failed their original purpose and are only useful to already big and rich companies by this point
I have a feeling that's part of the reason why he voted brexit. However there is still much hubris on his part that our politicians would do a better job than the EU
I like this interview. As an engineer myself, it was very insightful to see the issues that exist in designing a new product. James Dyson did an amazing job in the interview and it was particularly fascinating for him to give candid answers. Well done James :)
The answer to the thumbnail question is: Dyson's bladeless fan is not bladeless. It just hides its perfectly normal bladed blower-fan inside the base of the appliance, and distributes it to the ring with ducts, at very low efficiency.
@@yega3k Induced flow isn't magic, and it exists in bladed fans too. Doesn't change the power/efficiency dynamics of spending so much power on friction. At best you have a low-power fan for people who hate low-frequency blade turbulence.
It's funny how Dyson mentioned that he managed to defy the experts' opinions when developing his cyclonic vacuum cleaner separation systems, and then a few questions later, he gave his expert opinion on why noisy hand dryers are difficult to avoid. That said, I'm sure that he's very supportive of potential innovations that can make hand dryers become quieter (as what his own company is attempting to do).
I spent 5 years in Dyson's UK RDD department and the amount of time, effort and money that's being spent researching sound diffusion and suppression by the Acoustics Team is quite something. If anyone discovers a way to silence high powered air flow is will be Dyson.
I subconsciously associate quiet hand dryers with weakness. I think of older hand dryers that blow a negligible amount of air and heat and leave all the water on my hands. I want the jet turbine blast offs of the Xcelerators or Dyson Blades.
@@redrob6026 I wonder if you could have it so that the page stays in the same spot, and its just the printhead that moves. That would prevent paperjams, but then you'd be at risk of the printhead jamming. Still since the printhead doesn't have obstructions (paper) in it constantly, that should be less jammy I would think. A tiny fist could punch the top sheet into the receptacle tray when each page finishes, and then it just prints on the next page down so the stack never moves.
Passionate about avoiding paying much tax too - going off his behind the scenes messages with the british PM. So he's yet another wealth hoarding billionaire who lobbies to reduce tax - how original: selfishness as a virtue. Happy to enjoy the benefits of civilisation - just not when it comes to paying for it apparently.
This was awesome to watch. I literally want to go out and buy a Dyson product now because of this man, great information, super genuine and you can tell he is a true engineer and pioneer, and cool dude
More like the opposite person. James Dyson being the one with good ideas while Tim Cook is the expert of obvious bad ideas that he will have to reverse in the coming years.
Yeah that one struck a chord with me too. As an engineer who was always more interested in design, I was pretty bummed when I graduated and realized how few design focused jobs were available. So now I'm in grad school lol, they let me design stuff here.
I have never designed a product but I have helped customers design their rooms and electronic systems. I like to think that if you are really good at your job then sometimes you know what the customer wants even if they say they don't. Unfortunately that can often include down-selling which obviously no one wants to do. A lot of the time "less is more" even if money wasn't an option. Even if the customer insists they want all the bells and whistles.
As someone who designs and builds things for fun. I have to agree with James, Design and Engineering are indeed something that should be the same. These days not everyone are so simple, they want something that works but they want it to look good too, so why only study one subject or the other?
It's complicated. Generally you would want to have all kinds of people. You need experts who know everything in their very narrow field. The depth of knowledge can be critical for some products. But there are specialities that are all about combination. I, for example, studied mechanical, electrical engineering, robotics, programming, and basics of business & design.
I think it will continue to evolve that way and maybe we will get there. At the moment, the amount of knowledge and concerns involved in just designing the functional part of, say, a software system, are just so complex that a lot of the engineers don't want to take holistic view of designing the "interface" part.
Bruh, you can't have cheap products if you combine design into everything that is engineered. Some things need to be cheap or most people wont have them. Good philosphy for rich buyers and expensive luxury items but who want to pay more money if they same thing they get fits better? Not poor people that's who. What poor person you know has a dyson anything?
Hearing his design philosophy, I really want to give him a Lamy pen. Their sort of plain unembellished design that follows function seems right up his alley.
im straight up going to buy a dyson. i love the respect and care this man showed, he really gave 100 on this interview. I also heavily relate to him and his funny moments lmaoaoa.
We used to have the Dyson washing machine, it was an absolute marvel, I really loved it, and Dyson customer service is quite simply perfect. I wish they would take the washing machine back,
I respect the fact that he admitted most of his prototypes fail. I wonder how many bladeless fan prototypes he went through before finding one that worked.
Tell us how much he has actually done and then compare those things he has done to inventions like the mobile phone, MRI, aeroplanes, submarines, LLMs, etc.
Three minutes in and I can confidently say that this is one of - or maybe - the best _____ Support videos on this channel. The aluminium pen(cil) case with the sharpener function was magical.
Love how you focus on 1 out of the 7-8 questions he answered. And even that he answered with truth as well as empathy, that's the most you can expect of anyone detailing a grim situation in an interview. Not sure what's not to like.
@@doublethor2411 sorry i spent a while reading about him and was super bummed out when i replied to you. he is not a good person. i appreciate your well thought out reply. he is bad.
I didn't realize design and engineering were that separate. I have nothing to do with either, but in my imagination, it feels clunky to separate them, especially when creating something new. There's probably efficient processes for all of this, though.
There are some valid points to separate as they have different objectives. Engineers think production, practical result, cost and more and designer not so much
Your last statement about design/engineer separation just shows reality. As a machinist, engineer, production designer, salesman or what ever is needed it is my personal belief that too much separation between any of these causes severe inefficiency in any system.

i've got 2 patents and i'm absolutely appalled by the patenting system. they will go through patents all over the world before they register yours, but when they do - your invention is only protected in your country! anyone can copy it as long as they do it outside your country. making an international patent is simply too expensive and yet, even though it's called "international", you have to apply for patent in every single country in which you plan to sell your stuff! and you have to pay for it every single year. small inventors like me are simply hostages of the system. you can't compete with corporations and they can either steal your thing and produce it in whatever country where your thing isn't protected, or use this fact as leverage to pay you less for your patent than you deserve. it's absolutely appalling.. that's why most of patents we see are design patents that only last for 5 years and they become irrelevant anyway, like a car exterior or a phone design - every one gets patented every time. but it's done mostly for protection against patent scammers which is yet another hole in this whole patenting system.. the rare real inventions are usually in pharmaceuticals today, things you can't easily copy (or even comprehend), but it's rare.
almost like someone should patent a machine learning algorithm that can be used to confirm the patent digitally with very little human intervention.
Almost as if it's on purpose. Welcome to capitalism.
What do you invent?
I have some ideas too that I want to build (prototype) and patent, but I'm not sure how much time I should invest into the patent system.
@@roland9367 that depends on the idea and what you plan to do with it later. It is best to hire a patent lawyer (there's probably a name for it in english) - he will do the search if similar ideas have already been patented, prepare documents (with a bunch of engineering slang), submit it and guide the rest of the process. So it's more about the $ rather than time really. Also, you should remember that if you publish your idea anywhere it becomes public knowledge in 6 months and you can't patent it afterwards (assuming the people in patent bureau find it at public sources cuz they will also be searching for similar ideas, drawings or whatever)..
I like how out of all the things this vacuum designer explained, the most cumbersome explanation was what "suction" is
In the end, isn't everyone just out for themselves? And maybe immediate family?
This guy was really knowledgeable. I normally dont watch these but I liked his knowledge
yeah who would've thought a world-renowned inventor was that knowledgeable about inventing!
If you liked this. His episode of “how I built this” is a must listen. Truly a stand out in terms of how he started and grew his company.
I’m going to check it out, thanks
Must also look into him not paying his fair share of taxes. Dude is not great person and should take that into account. Maybe a good engineer.
Last question/answer - YES!
I’ve been arguing exactly that for years, with very poor results.
Designers and engineers scoff at one-another, while that should be one - a coherent unit.
Design must follow engineering and engineering must allow design.
Thank you, I will play that to all my students, so they don’t think I’m an old craizie.
Could listen to him answering questions all day, super chilled, intelligent and straight to the point! Love it! Also very well spoken english ! Just admiration ! 👍🏻✔️
That's so nice, besides learning alot of new things, I enjoy this episode of 'Support' because of how calm yet approachable, and understandable it is. Thanks to everyone who participated in it's making, especially the genius himself~
That was very very well edited and straight to the points.
Very good job editor.
The question we all came for: the bladeless fan isn't exactly bladeless, it has a small rotor inside the housing. This rotor indeed has blades.
Yes there's nothing revolutionary about it, just different packaging. It works on the same principal as a leaf blower or compressed air duster. You have a small high-pressure jet of air that causes the surrounding air to be sucked into the stream, increasing the flow and decreasing the velocity.
@@MattBlank0 It's supposedly rather silent and the air is allegedly flowing more steadily. The sound of a regular fan can be annoying to me.
But that's it.
It was called an Air Multiplier to start with, and people started calling it a bladeless fan, so they did.
And It' not a new idea either. Hovercraft push air through narrow skirt underneath..
And he completely avoided the actual answer to the question and never mentioned this part, which I find hilarious 😂
I really wish we could see his full answers. I imagine this was a much longer video that had to be edited down. Release the directors’ cut!
full answers result in # me too after 10 years
@@BlackMamba-lt8oe What are you talking about?

@@NitroLemons I think they're joking that something Dyson said in the full q&a session would result in him getting #MeToo'd for inappropriate conduct.
...which is honestly a very weird and revealing joke to immediately jump to.
Gotta love how even he acknowledges that copyright and patent laws have completely failed their original purpose and are only useful to already big and rich companies by this point
I have a feeling that's part of the reason why he voted brexit. However there is still much hubris on his part that our politicians would do a better job than the EU
"It's a printer"
Next up: The Dyson printer.
>:(
I like this interview. As an engineer myself, it was very insightful to see the issues that exist in designing a new product. James Dyson did an amazing job in the interview and it was particularly fascinating for him to give candid answers. Well done James :)
Quite possibly one of the most important sets of advice for inventors or business people. Gives plenty to consider, thanks Dyson.
The answer to the thumbnail question is: Dyson's bladeless fan is not bladeless. It just hides its perfectly normal bladed blower-fan inside the base of the appliance, and distributes it to the ring with ducts, at very low efficiency.
Exactly

Like a hammerless pistol. It's not, it just hides the hammer.
You are oversimplifying it. The flow of air distributed to the ring actually causes 20x increase in air flow (as he explains at 8:26).
@@yega3k Induced flow isn't magic, and it exists in bladed fans too. Doesn't change the power/efficiency dynamics of spending so much power on friction. At best you have a low-power fan for people who hate low-frequency blade turbulence.
Accidentally clicked this but stayed throughout the whole video lmao
James Dyson a legend !!
Same tbh…
This person is one of a kind, being this grounded despite being such a personality now. He's the kind of guy I wanna be
It's funny how Dyson mentioned that he managed to defy the experts' opinions when developing his cyclonic vacuum cleaner separation systems, and then a few questions later, he gave his expert opinion on why noisy hand dryers are difficult to avoid.
That said, I'm sure that he's very supportive of potential innovations that can make hand dryers become quieter (as what his own company is attempting to do).
yep, he also said they are "getting better at it"
Well he just said it's difficult. He didn't say it was impossible or that it would never be done, like he was told about cyclonic separation.
I spent 5 years in Dyson's UK RDD department and the amount of time, effort and money that's being spent researching sound diffusion and suppression by the Acoustics Team is quite something. If anyone discovers a way to silence high powered air flow is will be Dyson.
@@76Gazz sounds like they might discover new speaker technology too lmfao
I subconsciously associate quiet hand dryers with weakness. I think of older hand dryers that blow a negligible amount of air and heat and leave all the water on my hands. I want the jet turbine blast offs of the Xcelerators or Dyson Blades.
I’ve always loved his voice
I've just heard it for the first time but I agree
This was one of my favourite episodes. Please invite Mr Dyson for more
So true: experts are "blinded" by experience. Wise words!
Please do more with James, this was incredibly insightful
he sounds so calm and practical. A true engineer. Answered all the questions patiently.
The printer industry is such a scam, props to the man for being honest.
If someone could design a printer that could print without jamming and with less moving parts will dominate the market.
@@redrob6026 I wonder if you could have it so that the page stays in the same spot, and its just the printhead that moves. That would prevent paperjams, but then you'd be at risk of the printhead jamming. Still since the printhead doesn't have obstructions (paper) in it constantly, that should be less jammy I would think. A tiny fist could punch the top sheet into the receptacle tray when each page finishes, and then it just prints on the next page down so the stack never moves.
OK GO did a music video using hundreds of printers that never jammed. Super cool stuff.
@@Yvaelle Hmmm, interesting.....
You say that but he straight up lied about his "bladeless" fans lol
“They say nature abhors a vacuum, what does that mean for your field?” Would have been a grand question to ask him
@@godografnaykvista that’s a norm Macdonald joke if I’ve ever heard one lmao
He really seems so nice, and his answers were so easy to follow
How am I just hearing about this guy? He is a pleasure to listen to.
I’d be surprised if this is the first time you’ve heard of him. Own a Dyson hoover, or any Dyson appliance?
I love how well thought out/ in depth his answers are.
you might say you love how well designed his responses are?😭😎
here I am, 26 and just learning that Dyson is a person and a delightful one at that 🥲
I'm also 26, and same.
28, same
Saaaaame.
Omg, same 😅
Passionate about avoiding paying much tax too - going off his behind the scenes messages with the british PM. So he's yet another wealth hoarding billionaire who lobbies to reduce tax - how original: selfishness as a virtue. Happy to enjoy the benefits of civilisation - just not when it comes to paying for it apparently.
This was awesome to watch. I literally want to go out and buy a Dyson product now because of this man, great information, super genuine and you can tell he is a true engineer and pioneer, and cool dude
The true DYSON brand died decades ago, now it's just a flashy made out of plastic mostly with a stupidly high price tag - but get it on sale 👌🏼
James Dyson is like Tim Cooks brother that refused to help him develop good cooling for Macbooks because of "that one time when"
Is that true? I'm a big fan of Jim Cooks brother.
@@herbertkraft7379 it’s obviously a joke you buffoon.
More like the opposite person. James Dyson being the one with good ideas while Tim Cook is the expert of obvious bad ideas that he will have to reverse in the coming years.
one christmas James put an 's' on the end of 'math' and it led to fisticuffs
He looks like he would be such a nice grandpa!
Looking at those glasses would be hard to deal with on a regular basis.
very happy a man like Dyson became financially successful, so many invertors in the past didn't have such luck.
This was really good! Some genius inventors have a hard time explaining things to the layman but Dyson talks to the common man.
Absolutely agree with his view on design and engineering being a completely symbiotic relationship.
it's a totally fair opinion, i'd go as far and say that design encopasses the project as a whole.
Yeah that one struck a chord with me too. As an engineer who was always more interested in design, I was pretty bummed when I graduated and realized how few design focused jobs were available. So now I'm in grad school lol, they let me design stuff here.
Design=Form
Engineering=Function
Form leads to function
@@bobbobson4030 shoutout to bauhaus
Dyson is one of those brilliant companies that I will always have an immense amount of respect for. James is a class act, I'd love to see more.
9:09 - "They thought it was an amplifier of some sort."
It was. It amplified the airflow 20 times he just said.
He meant a musical amp.
My design and manufacture teacher goes on about Mr Dyson every day at least once and has been doing this for over 20 years. For good reason too!
The fact that some people got their answers 11/12 years later !!
Worth waiting.
I have never designed a product but I have helped customers design their rooms and electronic systems. I like to think that if you are really good at your job then sometimes you know what the customer wants even if they say they don't. Unfortunately that can often include down-selling which obviously no one wants to do. A lot of the time "less is more" even if money wasn't an option. Even if the customer insists they want all the bells and whistles.
As someone who designs and builds things for fun. I have to agree with James, Design and Engineering are indeed something that should be the same. These days not everyone are so simple, they want something that works but they want it to look good too, so why only study one subject or the other?
It's complicated. Generally you would want to have all kinds of people. You need experts who know everything in their very narrow field. The depth of knowledge can be critical for some products. But there are specialities that are all about combination. I, for example, studied mechanical, electrical engineering, robotics, programming, and basics of business & design.
I think it will continue to evolve that way and maybe we will get there. At the moment, the amount of knowledge and concerns involved in just designing the functional part of, say, a software system, are just so complex that a lot of the engineers don't want to take holistic view of designing the "interface" part.
Bruh, you can't have cheap products if you combine design into everything that is engineered. Some things need to be cheap or most people wont have them. Good philosphy for rich buyers and expensive luxury items but who want to pay more money if they same thing they get fits better? Not poor people that's who. What poor person you know has a dyson anything?
"the next question is a bit of a personal one."
I love that it is a subject that vexes him enough to take that question personally
11:10 BROOOO EXACTLY 😭😭✋ I course Design and we students look at each other like... it's something we all realize but we don't talk much about
"and the noise it makes is just delightful..
" - so now I know why all my Dyson products are so freaking loud 🔊🔊🔊 :)
Hearing his design philosophy, I really want to give him a Lamy pen. Their sort of plain unembellished design that follows function seems right up his alley.
He only uses rotring mechanical pencils
@@hadesignite a venerable choice
I did my whole GCSE Coursework based around James Dyson... Guys a genius.
im straight up going to buy a dyson. i love the respect and care this man showed, he really gave 100 on this interview. I also heavily relate to him and his funny moments lmaoaoa.
You don't even have any money.
His favourite product being a pencil sharpener is the sweetest thing I've ever seen
Just want to say thank you for doing this, honest, relatable while still interesting and helpful.
This guy is so logical and just clear thinking. What a gem of a human.
Hes not
We used to have the Dyson washing machine, it was an absolute marvel, I really loved it, and Dyson customer service is quite simply perfect.
I wish they would take the washing machine back,
This was such a fun interview. Would love to see a part 2!!!
I respect the fact that he admitted most of his prototypes fail. I wonder how many bladeless fan prototypes he went through before finding one that worked.
This guy is literally a genius
Idk if ppl actually know how much he’s done
Tell us how much he has actually done and then compare those things he has done to inventions like the mobile phone, MRI, aeroplanes, submarines, LLMs, etc.
When he speaks about integrating design and engineering it reminded me of how Steve Jobs believed in the same concepts.
He was so close to saying China would steal your inventions if you don't move at the speed of light.
Never heard this man speak. What a treat. No longer think ur just selling overpriced fans and vacuums
No but dyson products are really well made
Three minutes in and I can confidently say that this is one of - or maybe - the best _____ Support videos on this channel. The aluminium pen(cil) case with the sharpener function was magical.
His episode of How I Built This was great. It made me realize I should've been in school to be a Mechanical Engineer and not a Computer Engineer
Easier to get jobs in computer engineering tho.
What a wholesome and likeable person.
A billionaire sharing issues about how the common man cannot compete (remorse or not) hardly makes a case for someone that we SHOULD like.
Love how you focus on 1 out of the 7-8 questions he answered. And even that he answered with truth as well as empathy, that's the most you can expect of anyone detailing a grim situation in an interview. Not sure what's not to like.
@@doublethor2411 sorry i spent a while reading about him and was super bummed out when i replied to you. he is not a good person. i appreciate your well thought out reply. he is bad.
My respect for that man is truly immeasurable, he has changed so many aspects of my life for the better. 👌
I didn't realize design and engineering were that separate. I have nothing to do with either, but in my imagination, it feels clunky to separate them, especially when creating something new. There's probably efficient processes for all of this, though.
There are some valid points to separate as they have different objectives. Engineers think production, practical result, cost and more and designer not so much
No more complaining about Dyson’s prices. This man is brilliant.
A brilliant billionaire!
All dyson products are over priced junk.
@@damagecontrol7Well deserved.
It would be really cool to hear him do voice overs for documentaries
I'd love to hear him on space documentaries
Very cool to hear his design philosophy and thoughts. Brilliant vid by very articulate, aware and intelligent man
Your last statement about design/engineer separation just shows reality. As a machinist, engineer, production designer, salesman or what ever is needed it is my personal belief that too much separation between any of these causes severe inefficiency in any system.
His voice is something else 😍 😭
