Ok, this is just WOW in a domino kinda way:
Balloons and Dyson Air Multiplierâ,,¢ fans (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WNcjkZ6d0w&feature=player_embedded#lq-lq2-hq-vhq)
Dyson engineers were asked to show how inducement and entrainment of air works on the Air Multiplier fan. If you watch closely, the balloon is sucked from behind and to the side of the fan this is inducement and entrainment at work.
Lots of experimentation with different sized balloons and other objects produced this video. And although edited to include our successful attempts, the video is made from completely genuine footage (and no, the balloon isnt attached to anything).
wow! Awesome
Is it truly bladeless?
My thought is there is an impeller contained in the base and it directs air up and thru the hoop.
Thats pretty darn interesting - it might justify buying a couple just to play with.

Got it in one! [thumbsup]
It directs the air through a small gap all the way around the hoop. Bloody pricey little buggers though.

For $299 a piece I'll wait for them to go on clearance!! They are cool though!

Technically, if you smash the fan apart with your penis it's still a trick.
