Because this technology is scalable, it’s looking more and more likely that Dyson could build that super electric engine he has been talking about lately. The DC31 will retail in two versions, the standard DC31 and the DC31 “Animal” for around $220 and $270 respectively starting next month in the UK.

Turbochargers routinely spin at 100,000 rpm or higher. Does it make sense for a vacuum cleaner? You need a high speed pump when you are trying to evacuate a vacuum chamber (or system) to very low pressures (1 millionth of atmospheric pressure or below). I guess the idea is the power/weight ratio... a small pump that moves air quickly. In any case, measuring a vacuum cleaner by the rpm of its pump seems like a marketing gimmick. How is RPM the right yardstick? Turbo pumps like this are common in vacuum systems. Turbochargers routinely spin at 100,000 rpm or higher. Does it make sense for a vacuum cleaner?

Bellagio maybe??... It worked much better than any other hand drier, and actually better than towels.. The only issue is that you really need an automatic door so that way you don't have to touch the door handle on your way out also (which the Bellagio had).. It almost felt like a squeegee was wiping the water off your hands as you pulled them through the machine.. I doubt you'll see them around in most places since the price is probably higher than most.
