The innovative supersonic hair dryer from Dyson

Gadgets and Technology 
  
James Dayson, using all experience which is saved up when developing vacuum cleaners, fans and sushka for hands, I have created the innovative Supersonic hair dryer. The Dyson company has spent for his invention four years and 71 million dollars. During this time 103 engineers have been involved in work, about 100 patents are registered and 600 prototypes are created. As the producer assures, their easy hair dryer won't injure hair during drying, and the let-out sound will be much more silent, than from traditional representatives of a premium class.

The tiny and easy motor placed in the device handle was created by team of aero acoustic engineers who have increased the number of blades with 11 to 13. Speed of rotation reaches 110 000 revolutions per minute that allows to call Supersonic ultrasonic. Thanks to this motor the hair dryer became much easier and more effective than habitual models. One more advantage of the hair dryer are the sensors located around a heating element, they provide uniform distribution of temperature and watch that it didn't rise too highly. The innovative novelty will cost considerable $400.
