.jpg) Dyson AirbladeDesign Type: Industrial and consumer tools and equipment Designer: James Dyson Warm air hand dryers rely on evaporation and hot air to dry hands, which doesn’t work and can actually dirty newly washed hands. There are four key differences between Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer and warm air hand dryers/paper towel dispensers. Speed: Airblade utilizes the DDM to produce a 400 mph stream of clean air, blown through a gap no thicker than an eyelash. This sheet of air acts like an invisible windshield wiper, wiping moisture from hands leaving them completely dry in 12 seconds. Hygiene: Warm air hand dryers simply suck up dirty restroom air, heat it and blow it back on to hands, leaving them damp and more prone to spread bacteria. Damp hands spread 1,000 times more bacteria than dry hands. Dyson Airblade hand dryer uses a HEPA filter to remove more than 99.9% of the bacteria from the air used to dry hands. It also features touchless infra-red sensor technology and anti-microbial additives. Energy-efficiency: Airblade uses up to 80% less energy than warm air hand dryers. The DDM is a small, long-life, low-energy and brushless motor that spins at 1,350 revolutions per second. DDM produces enough air pressure for Airblade to dry hands without the need for heat. Cost: With 500 uses per day, Airblade will cost businesses less than $100 to operate for 1 year--up to 80% less than warm air hand dryers.
