Design Heroes: James Dyson
Complete the following phrase:
Harley Earl is to things that go fast, as James Dyson is to _______.
If you said “things that suck,” then you’re right! James Dyson is the master of vacuum cleaners. World famous for his creations, the CEO/inventor is known for bringing about a renaissance of vacuum design, incorporating new materials, cleaning methods, and business models into our everyday, typical Hoovers.
Recently, Dyson also purportedly threw his hat into the electric-car ring, discussing his intentions to create a vacuum motor powerful enough for an electric vehicle. Those British inventors… always thinking!
On a recent trip out to Dyson labs, Crunchgear.com had the satisfaction of witnessing Dyson show-off how he tests the durability of their products… by throwing around a vacuum until all the good bits are hanging out, and then proceeding to actually get it to work.
Watch the video, and check out Crunchgear’s journey into his mind.
[EDIT: Fixed a few of the facts. Thanks, internet, for your wonderful incorrectness.]
