Dyson digital motors

Michael Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction, the principle behind the electric motor, in 1831. Yet, despite being technologically advanced at the time, electric motors have changed very little since. Bulky, old-fashioned components and lots of moving parts prone to failure.

 

Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer

The Dyson digital motor in the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer sucks in 37 litres of washroom air every second, pulls it through a HEPA filter, then forces it out through two continuous apertures the width of an eyelash. This generates sheets of air travelling at 400mph, to dry hands in just 10 seconds.

Dyson DC22 in the US

The DC22 is one of Dyson's newest American machines. Powered by a Dyson digital motor version, it's 1/3 smaller than a full-size Dyson machine, lighter and easier to store - but with no compromise on pick-up.

Dyson D30 and DC31 handhelds

The Dyson digital motor powers our latest battery operated handhelds, DC30 and DC31. The key to its superiority is its power efficiency. The latest Dyson digital motor is three times faster and more power efficient than any other - meaning Dyson's new handhelds can deliver twice the airwatts for the same run time.
