Dyson specializes in home cleaning and ventilation equipment, such as vacuum cleaners, fans, etc. It seems that it has decided to enter the electronic sector as it has filed a patent with headphones that act not only as music but also as an air purifier on your face.
In a patent set looks almost like April Fool's Dayfunnily enough, the Dyson company describes a pair of headphones with air filters built into its speakers. Additionally, it has a second vent that either sits on top of your head or folds down and goes in front of your mouth to blow fresh air into your faces.
The patent says that the air cleaner headphones will feature propellers that spin at 12.000 rpm. and will draw 1,4 liters of air per second to filter particles such as dust and bacteria. The cleansed air it is then channeled to the level of the mouth, providing you with clean air to breathe.
Although it is difficult for us to imagine what sales such a machine will have in Greece, the quality of the air worries many residents in many places, especially in Asian markets. Obviously in particularly burdened cities such as Hong Kong, Beijing etc, which do not have the luxury of balconies, could have a vital space in headphone sales.
It is already common to see in Asian countries, people wearing surgical masks, so a pair of headphones with simultaneous air purification is not something completely outrageous. In Greece there is not yet such a big problem, and in addition Greeks are accustomed to suffocating situations in their entertainment. After all, it does not fit to listen to her Bossu to sing "I have suffocatingly filled the room up to the top with smoke and time laughs at me like baby” and breathe fresh clean air.
