THE EYE CLOCK!

Not sure that is the kind of clock you want to have in your bedroom. I mean it's cute but I think I would have an hard time knowing what's the time in the middle of the night ...

One eye shows the hours, one shows the minutes. On the image above it is ... 10.25. Ok it may not be the most precise clock but at least it is one that understands you when you roll your eyes when your morning alarm goes off ;-)

THE DYSON AIR MULTIPLIER

Australia was chosen as the launch market for the new Dyson Air Multiplier mostly because of the season timing, yes those lucky people are about to start their summer, but also because according to Dyson Australian love new technology and will often take it up faster than other countries.

In other words they are more avant-garde [smarter] than us and can afford it right now ;-)

So the Air Multiplier also known as Fan only with no blades, so your kids won't try to put their fingers, pens, or dolls in it ...

I know what you are thinking right now. How does it work, well let me explain it to you - or maybe I'll just copy-paste the press release I have just received!



So, there's a motor in the bottom that powers a turbo-charged impeller [until now I get it ...] It's essentially a 3-D fan that gives a good combination of flow and pressure. the air this powerful little fan creates is pushed up into that round thing at the top also known as the 'loop amplifier' which splits the flow in two and pushes it through the loop and out a 1.3 millimeter (about .05 inches) slit, or annulus, all along the back [Ok now they totally lost me ...] This process creates a jet stream that sucks in air from the back and sides, creating a very powerful and smooth flow of air to cool dogs and rooms alike, with no danger of injury.

Ok, let's just says it's a fan and it looks fabuleux!

The Dyson Air Multiplier [$300] is available now at The Conran Shop in New York, Luminaire in Chicago and Miami, and Twentieth in Los Angeles.
