Dyson’s new hair-straightener shows the company’s innovative approach to problem-solving - Yanko Design

A bladeless fan. Why would you demand ane? Take yous ever thought about how a fan chops up the current of air as its blades cut through the air? Or how fan blades generate static, attracting dust and making them dirty in a matter of just weeks? Chances are these small experience gaps elude well-nigh people, designers even. Dyson's Bladeless Fan's design was aimed at providing a constant source of 'united nations-buffeted' air. Throw in its 'air multiplier' and you lot've got a fan that's incredibly powerful relative to its size, and easy to clean. When working on a new product, Dyson's design team oft looks for these experiential gaps and plugs them. Have for instance their recently launched AirWrap hair curler, which perfectly curls locks using a 'tornado of air' rather than a heated rod. Dyson'due south products speak of a user-experience similar no other because their pattern team approaches problems like no other, looking for more than effective lateral solutions rather than simply designing a better version of existing applied science.

A single hair is often considered a metaphor for thin-ness. Saying someone won the 100-meter dash past a hair's latitude would imply that the competition was incredibly shut. Still, when combined, a lock of hair actually has volume. The multiple strands of pilus actually band together to create thickness, so why are hair-straighteners about e'er designed to 'flatten' your hair confronting two heated plates?

The Dyson Coralle hair-straightener, which launches today, features flexing plates that bend co-ordinate to your hair's volume. The flexing plates bend effectually the locks of hair, heating them evenly from all sides, while making sure to straighten them without flattening or dissentious them. The curved copper plates, an industry first, come up with tolerances equally low as 65-nanometers (thinner than an private man hair), and flex effectually your locks of hair to straighten them without reducing their volume. On the inside, the Coralle comes with a maximum heat setting that's 40 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than near straighteners. Dyson's engineers say that with the curved plates that distribute heat evenly, the straightener actually works but as efficiently as regular straighteners, with lesser rut. Moreover, the Coralle'south internal fleck performs temperature checks 100 times per second to make certain it performs optimally with no temperature or performance deviations. The Coralle is designed to be wireless too, allowing you to employ the straightener in front end of a mirror without worrying about whether there's a power source nearby, and comes with a maximum run fourth dimension of 30 minutes, long enough to straighten your hair perfectly, and short enough to brand sure information technology doesn't cause any problems if accidentally left on! At present THAT's called constructive problem solving achieved through lateral thinking!
