Abstract
Electric fans are used to regulate interior temperatures. People commonly use them during hot and humid summer days to increase air movement throughout a home. Some electric fans are movable and can be put on a desk or on the floor. Larger models are permanently installed on the ceiling. Nowadays, some electric fans can cause danger to people especially to children. It may cause wounds due to its blades and heat exhaustion.
This study is concerned on Dyson Air Multiplier – a bladeless fan.
Dyson Air Multiplier is known as the bladeless fan. It is an electric fan in desktop and floor standing models that are set to give smoother airflow and, having no exposed rotating blades, operating in a safer manner than the conventional bladed fans.
This bladeless fan was tested at Dyson Ltd, a company that has been trusted and utilize for decades. It was proven that this bladeless fan is safe to use and no harm to people.
It was then surveyed through conducting interviews to experts and non-experts. Results showed that this bladeless fan is suitable as a replacement for the commercially conventional electric fans.
Introduction The vision of Mapua Institute of Technology states that “The institute shall be the center of excellence by engaging in cutting-edge research which enables the students to disseminate and apply knowledge in various fields of study. On the other hand, the SLHS creed has the goal of developing the ability of every student to distinguish what is true and what is good for the abundance of information, idea and thought about the current day technology made accessible to him.
