Η εταιρεία Dyson εξειδικεύεται στα μηχανήματα καθαρισμού και αερισμού για το σπίτι, όπως ηλεκτρικές σκούπες, ανεμιστήρες κλπ. Φαίνεται ότι αποφάσισε να εισέλθει και στο ηλεκτρονικό τομέα καθώς κατέθεσε πατέντα με ακουστικά που except of music also act as an air purifier on your face.
In a patent set looks almost like April Fool's Dayτικο αστείο, η εταιρεία Dyson περιγράφει ένα ζευγάρι ακουστικών με filters air integrated in its speakers. In addition, it has a second air duct that is either on your head or folds down and passes in front of your mouth to blow fresh air on your face.
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 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.
