Dyson backpack project: How air pollution affects school children across sub-Saharan AfricaNews

Dyson engineers worked in conjunction with Children’s Air Pollution Profiles in Africa (CAPPA) , arm of the Achieving Control of Asthma in Children in Africa study led by Queen Mary University London (QMUL) and Imperial College London to understand personal air quality exposure across six African cities.The Dyson air quality monitoring backpacks was at the heart of this endeavour; the backpack was carried by 297 urban school children aged between 12 and 15 years. with asthma between 21st June and 26th November, 2021. Data was collected from each participating child in Ghana, Malawi, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe, making it the largest study of its kind. Only 20% of monitored days (227 out of 1109 days) were below the World Health Organisation 24-hour PM2.5 exposure health guideline of 15 μg/m³. Highest PM2.5 exposure was monitored at Blantyre, Malawi (median 41.8 µg/m³). Factors for higher PM2.5 exposure: presence of smokers at home, use of coal or wood for cook

Dyson launches Air Purity Pulse Check reportNews

This month, Dyson is launching the ‘Air Purity Pulse Check’ report, a detailed dive into UK attitudes towards the importance of indoor air quality. This in-depth study delves into the views of the public and business leaders, owners and managers on the problem of indoor air pollution.Poor air quality is a worldwide issue and is recognised by the UK government as ‘the largest environmental risk to public health in the UK’. The Air Purity Pulse Check found that over half of people polled are concerned about poor air quality impacting health, yet only 59% of people polled believe their own homes have good air quality.Read on in the Dyson Newsroom.Download the complete ‘Air Purity Pulse Check’ report here.

Inside the Dyson InstituteNews

Discovering Engineering We sat down with graduates and undergraduates studying at the Dyson Institute and working at Dyson to find out more about their different routes into engineering. From Science and Music to Product Design and Computer Science at school, many subjects can lead to an exciting career in engineering. What is engineering? So what is engineering? Hear from our undergraduates and graduates from the Dyson Institute, where they study for a degree and work at Dyson, as they unpack this question. Developing new skills. Solving problems. Launching Dyson products. Life at the Dyson Institute As part of our International Women in Engineering Day celebrations, our undergraduates and graduates reflect on their time at the Dyson Institute. In 2017, 33 Undergraduates started in the Institute’s first ever cohort, and today 236 Undergraduate Engineers have joined us since – working at Dyson on real-world projects and products while studying for an engineering degree.

How our engineers test the Dyson Pure Cool™ purifying fanAIR TREATMENT

Other air purifiers are only designed to pass a chamber test. We don't think that is good enough.Some manufacturers of conventional air purifiers gauge their performance using a laboratory test method called ‘Clean Air Delivery Rate’. It is conducted in a compact chamber, with an added fan to circulate the air – and only one sensor to measure air quality.Dyson air purifiers go further - Dyson air purifiers are designed to work in real homes. So we’ve developed the POLAR test, based on a large living room size, with no added fan. Nine different sensors collect air quality data throughout the room, so we can make sure it purifies every corner. This is why we want to make it an industry-standard test.Dyson Air Multiplier™ technology projects purified air to every corner of the room. So you know that wherever you are in the room, the air around you is purified.

Dyson Store: Exclusive experiences. Customized machines. Expert advice.DYSON DEMO STORE

Solving problems others ignore is the Dyson way, and that extends across everything we do from pioneering new products, to research and retail.When the first Dyson store opened in 2000 in Paris, there was very little like it. Often technology was sold in large department stores, stacked high and ready to buy. It wasn’t a tailored experience that helped potential owners understand the machines or technologies they were buying.Now, two decades after the introduction of Dyson Demo stores reinvented the way we retail, we’ve continue to breath new life into the way people shop for our technology and experience it. That's why each store brings the science and engineering to life, offering exclusive services, and support from our Dyson Experts.

The science behind the Dyson Airwrap™ styler. The Coanda effect explained.HAIR CARE

A completely new way to curl hair. Harnessing the power of air.The Coanda effect is the tendency for a fast-moving jet of air travelling over a surface to attach to that surface. In the Dyson Airwrap™ styler we combined this scientific concept with the Dyson V9 digital motor to create a spinning vortex of air.Other stylers use extreme heat, which can damage hair. The Dyson Airwrap™ is different and doesn’t rely on heat alone to change the bonds within the hair structure.Using air helps to get volume into the curl and avoid extreme temperatures. Intelligent heat control measures and regulates the heat. By keeping the temperature below 150°C/302°F, it helps protect your hair from extreme heat damage and maintain shine.

Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology 2022 Graduation Celebration

Speaking at the Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology 2022 graduation celebration, Sir James Dyson encouraged graduates to never lose their curiosity. He reflected on how global events of the past four years, from pandemic to war, had shaped them uniquely and with a belief that they were all the stronger for it, having studied and worked alongside Dyson engineers.“We live in tumultuous times. During your time at Dyson, the scale of the political, and global events unfolding, has been seismic. Crosswinds, of a type not seen in my lifetime, have attempted to blow us off course at every juncture. Not just us - similar forces have affected almost every business globally. Through all of this upheaval you have been working and studying. Learning and doing. For you it is now ‘normal’ and you are all-the-stronger for it.” For a further glimpse at the Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology, as well as the 2022 Graduation Celebration, read the full Dyson Institute of Engineering a

Discover how we've re-engineered the Dyson Airwrap™ multi-styler attachmentsHAIR CARE

When we launched the Dyson Airwrap™ multi-styler in 2018, it revolutionised styling. Since then, we've refined our attachment technology, to improve usability, versatility and performance.One of our biggest achievements with these attachments is how effective and intuitive they are to use. This is a result of the optimised geometry and refined engineering inside them.With the Airwrap™ barrels, we focused on finding a way to achieve both directions of curl on one barrel, to give you optimal control and styling, in an easy-to-use way.The brush attachment has been re-engineered with Enhanced Coanda airflow. On the new design we've got these vanes which turn and guide the flow. This gives you precision Coanda airflow for controlled style and alignment.The Coanda smoothing dryer now has two modes. Firstly, it has the Drying mode. You can then switch into Smoothing mode. This uses the Coanda effect to sort the hair and reduce the flyaways*, giving you a nice, smooth finish.All of these attac
