[@lithobreak3812]

I heard that they don't really work as advertised because the mask part doesn't seal against your mouth and nose, it just constantly blows air into them, so it doesn't stop you from inhaling polution but it does dry out the inside of your mouth and nose, which makes them less effective at rejecting particles in the air

[@LynxSnowCat]

-Huh?- I was planning on carrying an old CPAP machine (without its humidifier-sloshing around to upset the pressure sensor) to deal with unavoidable 2nd hand smoke, but hadn't identified that problem. I guess I'll have to make a passive inline humidifier out of flocked media or something.

[@MrEsphoenix]

Not got a set to test, but from what I can tell they work using positive pressure, so they don't need to form a seal for the job they're doing. Basically because they're activity pushing air into the mask part it forms a high pressure area with the air pushing out of the mask. A particularly strong wind at the right angle could possibly overcome it, and they're only small filters which I doubt have an ABEKP3 rating like general use gas mask filters, so it wouldn't be rated for use against anything dangerous like a CBRN scenario, but should be fine for anything you'd be willing to use an N95 mask for.

@@GigaWhatt0 Look, as I said, I've not really got a horse in this race, and can't vouch for the actual product. Just pointing out that the gap doesn't necessarily mean they don't work. Positive pressure is a tried and tested thing. I can't vouch for the expertise on respitory devices of the people in the video you saw, and have no reason to doubt them, but since it was an argument used by a lot of anti maskers, I feel obligated to point out that scent isn't a valid test for masks and filters. You can still smell a lot of things through an N95 or p3 filter. A properly filtered and sealed gas mask should eliminate just about all odours, but that's not what a device like this, or an N95 mask claim to be, and the filters on them are much bigger and heavier (a general use ABEKP3 filter is around 3-4" thick).

James Dyson is a brilliant airflow engineer, has some amazing industrial designers on his team, his advertising is next-level - and is a total f-wit at everything else. These are stupid - just like his hand dryers. Sure - the air coming out of the outlets is clean, but that is not the problem. His devices use that clean, high velocity air to SPREAD germs and viruses in a MUCH wider area than if you used a mask or paper towel/ low velocity hand dryer. Oh - and don't get me started on the rechargeable batteries in his stick vacs - they die after about a year - my wife has gone through several of these highly expensive toys.

[@GotInterest]

[@MadsterV]

Dyson hand dryers are great. You wash your hands clean, and after that the problem isn't germs, it's that they're wet. Here's a bit to ponder: if the germs in your hands (despite washing...) aren't spread by a slow dryer and the water instead is evaporated..... where did the germs go? :)

[@frankiechan9651]

@@MadsterV Plenty of research that most people do not scrub their hands thoroughly enough, with soap for long enough and do not go between their fingers and around the nails. So your hands are both wet AND still covered in loads of bacteria like e.coli I never said that slow dryers don't spread water/germs - it is that the high velocity Dyson Air-Blades spread those droplets much further than the slow ones. And that My Dyson didn't listen to the experts that told him so. hence why paper towel was seen as the go-to during the pandemic as it should not spread water droplets at all and keeps them mostly confined to the bin afterwards. The action of air dryers is mostly to drive the water off your hands - then the small amount that remains is actually evaporated off. Small bit of trivia - we are both covered and saturated internally with bacteria - hopefully mostly good ones. They are a vital part of our bodily systems. The trick is to keep the good/vs bad in balance and not allow bacteria of both kinds to get where they shouldn't.

[@xaytana]

This feels like a proof of concept more than a product. You can see that in the fact of how the vents snap together; one magnet under the vent hole, rather than two opposed magnets or a recessed mating with a ring of magnets, etc. You can have a strong connection here and still be flexible, they just chose not to do that and instead rush an aesthetically okay looking prototype to market. I almost want to see a second generation of these, but with how hard these flopped. Honestly I don't even know how you would make this idea work in the first place, fans are just loud as all hell and have a wide range in their noise spectrum, the style of fan is quite easily worse for this as well, and you can't just strap them onto the back of some cans and expect them to work. Headbands move too much and that would just complicate things, though this would be an interesting approach; maybe have one of those multi-part bands where the frame itself is rigid as all hell with a fabric band that straddles your dome. I think the ultimate solution would be offsetting the fan portion, you know how cooling/heating neckbands exist with their stupid little fans, something like that, but have them tie up into the headset and the mouthpiece; human movement makes this difficult, but following the neck before teeing off into the sides of the face would work best, we all know how bad neckband earbuds are even with extra slack in their wires. Stemming from the previous, could just have a back of the head strap that houses the fans, an ear-level one would cause issues with head movement, but offsetting it upwards to where head straps naturally exist would work, tying the ducting between low mouth, mid ear, and high fan/filter set would result in a _/‾ shape that is also more aerodynamic internally, which would reduce wind noise; the only problem here is that you'd have a torque on the ears where the two ends want to equalize with gravity, a typical mid-head band won't fix this, you'd need a forward-slanting headband that sits where the forehead crests into your dome, and there can't be anything opposing this due to skull-neck movement- alternatively, something that sits on your dome fully with a chinstrap, like the Trend AirShield, but instead of a full face capsule it'd just be a mouthpiece. The issue with actively ventilated PPE stuff is that it very quickly devolves into full helmets, the previous example of the AirShield is one of the better non-mask solutions, but it also fully seals around your head where a helmet chin strap would be, anything beyond this would be a visorless moto helmet with proper face sealing. And that's the major issue with these kinds of things, active ventilation or not, you need a proper seal around your blowholes for it to actually work, elsewise you get all of the nasty shit you're wanting to filter out re-entering the airstream. The idea of actively forcing air onto yourself in an open manner just does not work, and given enough of an open gap and enough air particulate it might actually exacerbate the issue due to how particulate moves. Any solution would need a seal, and that immediately kills the product for the wider consumer base, where only professionals who need PPE while also having the convenience of things like headphones would buy into this stuff; case in point is something like ISOtunes, which puts a can into typical hearing protection muffs. What ISOtunes is doing with music in muffs is what the future of an active ventilation PPE set of cans will have to be. Dyson targeted the wrong market with a bad product, and banked off of what the pandemic was causing to gain traction in the incorrect market. Funnily enough, the Trend AirShield does have a clip-on attachment for muffs, so this solution is essentially compatible with cans, you just have to put the work into converting a set to the clip system and making them fully wireless, unless you want a mess of wires running across the helmet alla the DeLorean time machine. This kind of solution is the way forward for what this product is trying to do, you will always have some amount of helmet to it, you need to offset the fan/filter pack, you need sealing on the face, the least would be open upper face with an open lower back of the head with some weird forward head strap or dome cap, any other lesser solution introduces major hinderances in various aspects. Though at this point just make a full ass helmet. The same kind of tech bro that would invest into this is also the kind that wears an XR headset out in public. Just give them the damn thing with the headset built in, digitize the visor, have enough field of view for people to be happy with VR, built that into the ventilation helmet. The non-techbro alternative would be to have a fully separate mouthpiece that actively moves air, but then you look like a freak that's into gas masks; this would also be the proper PPE solution that workers that need said PPE would use, by the way. There's just no market for any of this, you either have shameless people with more money than brains or you have the common public that shames those people, then you have a narrow gap of where someone wants PPE and needs enclosed comfort of their own music whereas most jobsites will just have a radio blaring whatever music is put on; there's just no place where this reasonably exists outside of two hyper niche areas on the opposing sides of the spectrum. And honestly, if one of the Asian countries that has mask wearers pre and post pandemic hasn't attempted to produce something like this, I have no hope for the concept. You know one of those countries would be the first to jump on the concept and do it well as a consumer product. Yet, we don't see this. It's a flawed idea. Again, you have two hyper niche use cases at completely opposite ends of the use spectrum that would even touch something like this, it makes no marketable sense, just use separate pieces of gear if you fit into either niche. And the further issue with this is that these only used carbon filters, not filters you'd realistically use anywhere. Haha no more smelly, but anything else will still rip you a new one. Concept is flawed, execution is flawed, there's no point to this product, there's no point to this product category, again just use separate pieces of gear if you really need the niche combinations of things.

[@enzochoi923]

if you want a respirator that doesn't swamp your sinuses and grow a moss beard on you, I'd really recommend the 3M ventilated welding helmets - they've got a small filter pack around your lower back, and pipe air into the helmet. There's no actual contact with your face (besides the headband which holds the helmet on), but no fumes reach you because of the positive pressure. You can also detach the tube and stick it down your pants or in your shirt for a short deodorize/dry. Actually a godsend for long days in the shop.

Why would you say fifth-to-last? For anyone who doesn't know, the second stage might be the "fifth-to-last" stage, because they wouldn't know how many stages are in the game. Why not say "the seventh stage"?

Given that this is what the UK's second greatest vacuum cleaner manufacturer can produce, I can't wait to see what the great folk at Numatic can do (they made Henry and George). On a related note, isn't it weird how two global superpowers in the vacuum cleaner market are both based in the South-West of the UK, only 60 miles / 100 km apart? Numatic is my favourite though, because they actually manufacture their products in the UK, whereas Dyson has their products made in China.

[@gwenlop9512]

I own an original Air Multiplier desk fan from Dyson. Although it looks super futuristic, it’s an actual nightmare to clean the impellers, especially for a 300$+ fan.

[@Wampa842]

That's the point. The entire "why does BRAND sell weird and expensive thing that BRAND isn't known for" routine is meant to generate publicity through confusion, amusement, or controversy. Like the $600 Apple computer wheels that don't even have brakes and were mocked relentlessly: the primary goal is highly public reactions, the product itself is secondary. They played us like a damn fiddle.

okay i was ecstatic that you just put a really nice microphone up to a Dyson fan, I can't get over that.

Dyson really has the clearest sound ever. So clear it is only slight humming of the wind. GENIUS

[@DaneHawthorne1313]

All hail the Dyzone freaks, funky odors and all!

[@Deltarious]

All the reports from the smart people that I have seen suggest that these are unlikely to help much at all when it comes to the effects of pollutants being in the air around you. You really cannot get away from having a sealed system if you want to take the outside air out of the equation. Which then leaves you with the moisture problem, as you pointed out. There are two basic solutions to that issue, either you can have some kind of desiccant which absorbs the moisture and will need to be replaced, this could theoretically be integrated into a mask. Or you can have some other system that takes that moisture and condenses it away from you, in that sort of system you are basically looking at a space suit type of deal, and even then you may need a desiccant depending on design. Personally I'm all for people wearing basically unpressurised spacesuits, if we build them right they can keep you cool *and* give you enough air for 8 hours+, just like actual suits for space do right now. The only issue is getting them to weigh...less than 310 lbs (and given that the suit itself is only 110 lbs that may be a problem). Still given we don't have the needs of literally space I'm sure you could come up with something practical that weighs in at 50lbs or less, and at that point it's tolerable

[@mechadeka]

"Portable air filtration" So, a paint mask?

[@SheepDavidofun]

Paint masks are for paint and dust, they are held to a standard of 94% filtration for particles .3 microns in size. Active air filtering gets finer particles in addition to that, which is better for treating air quality issues like smog. Dyson claims on their website that these headphones get 99.95% of particles as small as .1 microns. With that being said, these are still garb

[@Joel-st5uw]

The smell is a feature: when the VOC off-gassing stops, it's time to get new filters.
