The Dyson company specializes in machinecleaning and ventilation items for the home, such as vacuum cleaners, fans, etc. It seems that he has decided to enter the electronic sector as well, as he has filed a patent with headphones that, in addition to music, also act as an air purifier on your face.
In a patent set looks almost like an April Fool's joke, Dyson describes a couple headphones with air filters built into its speakers. It also 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 states that the headphones - air purifier, will have propellers that will rotate at 12.000 rpm. and will pump 1,4 liters of air per second to filter out particles such as dust and bacteria. The purified air is then injected at the height of the mouth, providing you with fresh air to breathe.
Although it is difficult for us to imagine what sales it will have in Greece such a machine, air quality is a concern for many residents in many places, especially in Asian markets. Obviously in heavily congested cities like Hong Kong, Beijing, etc. that don't have the luxury of balconies, it could have a vital place in headphone sales.
It is already common to see in Asian countries, people who wear 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 moreover the Greeks in their entertainment are used to suffocating situations. Besides, it doesn't suit you to listen to her Bossu to sing "I have suffocatingly filled the room with smoke upstairs and my time laughs like a baby" and breathe fresh air.
