Q&A with Dyson's Paul Dawson on the new Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Link

The Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Link builds upon our previous models by adding a third functionality – air purification. The machine captures gases and traps allergens and pollutants in the air in our patented 360° HEPA Filter - Paul Dawson

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Dyson is world-famous for innovation in engineering and product design. At the core of the company are a lot of smart people aiming to solve very hard problems. The company is already the leading name in vacuum technologies and products, it has recently made an impact in household robotics with the Dyson 360 Eye and now it has taken its popular Dyson Hot + Cool line of fans/heaters and added a class-leading air purifier that filters impurities and allergens in the air while it provide the heating and cooling function.

We spoke to Dyson's Paul Dawson, whis is Global Product Development Director, Environmental Control to find out more about the importance of air purification and how the Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Link reduces indoor pollutants.

Dyson engineers take on Global Rapid Development Challenge

Dyson sent over a press release asking the question: “What can be achieved in just 24-hours when you set Dyson engineers on a rapid development challenge?” A lot, apparently. Two hundred Dyson hardware, mechanical, software, and electronics engineers from the UK and Singapore had to team up to design and build an intelligent machine that follows one of the themes: The Connected Home, Gamification of Dyson Products, and Accessibility through Usability. They had to accomplish this within 24 hours. And with that short amount of time, the participants on average were only able to sleep for two hours during the event, they wrote over 6,000 lines of code, and downed over 500 energy drinks and coffee.

The winning group came from the UK. They modified a Jake Dyson CSYS task light by augmenting its motors drive mechanism and hooking these up to an Arduino electronics board. With computer programming it transfers data to the light and having the machine draw highly detailed images. As you see at the end of the video above, it shows the machine drawing a portrait of Jake Dyson himself.

Dyson announces a second UK Technology Campus in Hullavington

Dyson announced to begin work on a second Cotswold technology campus, very near its global headquarters in Malmesbury.

The 517 acre space, on former Ministry of Defense land at Hullavington, Wiltshire, will increase Dyson’s footprint in the UK by 10 times. The new campus will enable Dyson to continue creating more high-skilled jobs in Britain, while boosting UK exports.
