Product Description
Dyson AM03 Pedestal Fan (White/Silver)The Dyson AM03 pedestal fan delivers a constant stream of smooth air. No blades. No buffeting.
Conventional fans have blades, which chop the air before it hits you, causing unpleasant buffeting. The Dyson AM03 pedestal fan has no blades. Instead, it uses Air Multiplier technology to amplify air 18 times, generating an uninterrupted flow of smooth air. No blades. No buffeting.
The Dyson AM03 pedestal fan is available in White/Silver.
How it works Air is amplified 18 times, giving a smooth flow of air with no buffeting. |
1) Air is drawn in by an energy efficient, brushless motor. A combination of the technologies used in turbochargers and jet engines generates a powerful flow of air.
2) Airflow is accelerated though an annular aperture. It passes over an airfoil-shaped ramp, which channels its direction.
3) Air behind the Dyson AM03 pedestal fan is drawn into the airflow, through a process known as inducement.
4) Air around the machine is also drawn into the airflow, through a process known as entrainment, amplifying it 18 times. The resulting airflow is smooth and constant, with no unpleasant buffeting.
Dyson AM03 pedestal fan features No fast-spinning blades. |

Smooth airflow The blades on conventional fans cause unpleasant buffeting because they chop the air. Air Multiplier technology gives an uninterrupted stream of air.
Safe There are no fast-spinning blades on the Dyson AM03 pedestal fan, so it’s safe and doesn’t need to have a grille.

Easy to clean Because there are no awkward grilles to disassemble and put back, the Dyson AM03 pedestal fan is easy to clean. Just wipe the loop amplifier with a cloth.
Dimmer-switch control Unlike conventional fans, which have a few settings to adjust power, the airflow generated by the Dyson AM03 pedestal fan can be adjusted at the turn of a dial to deliver precisely the amount you want.
Remote airflow control There’s also a remote control to change airflow settings. It’s curved and magnetised to store conveniently on top of the fan.
Smooth oscillation To oscillate a conventional fan you have to hold it steady, pull the toggle and watch it judder. The AM03 Dyson Air Multiplier pedestal fan oscillates at the touch of a button.
Easy height adjust It’s simple to adjust the height of the Dyson AM03 pedestal fan. The stand uses a constant force tensator spring to resist the force of gravity.
Easy to tilt You can tilt the loop amplifier on the Dyson AM03 pedestal fan to adjust the angle of airflow. The fan also stays put without the need for clamping.
2 year parts and labour guarantee Dyson Air Multiplier fans come with a 2 year parts and labour guarantee. And if you do need help or advice you can call Dyson’s awardwinning customer service team for free. You’ll be put straight through to a Dyson expert.
Development storyThe problem with conventional fans Electric fans hadn’t changed much since they were invented in 1882. Grilles have been added. Materials are different. Buttons have popped up. But the fundamental problem remains the same - their blades chop the air. And choppy air causes annoying and uncomfortable buffeting. Take out the blades, and the buffeting stops. But how do you make a fan that works without blades?
How air behaves at high speed Whilst developing the technology behind the Dyson Airblade hand dryer, Dyson engineers noticed how accelerating air at high speeds through a narrow aperture caused surrounding air to be drawn in. They realised that this phenomenon could be useful, particularly in a fan. After running hundreds of tests, they discovered the ideal ramp angle, aperture width and loop amplifier dimensions to develop a fan without blades.
Motor technology To generate a jet of air powerful enough to work properly, the motor needed to be able to pull in more than 20 litres of air per second. To do this Dyson engineers designed a new type of 3-dimensional impeller with nine asymmetrically aligned fins, combining technologies found in jet engines and turbochargers.
Testing airflow To test airflow smoothness, Dyson engineers used a technique called Laser Doppler Anemometry. Millions of tiny particles were injected into the airflow to make flow patterns visible to laser technology. Four lasers were used to track the speed and direction of the particles, taking up to 2,000 measurements per second. Four million velocity measurements allowed fluid dynamics engineers to create a detailed map of the airflow.
One engineer had the original idea, but it took every discipline from Dyson’s 350-strong team of engineers and scientists to develop Air Multiplier technology.
