Mind blowing.

Wow, I never thought modern science would create a Dyson ring in my lifetime. Smaller than I expected, though.

like going from propellor to jet. the blades are there in the base

Pretty cool. Too bad it's a bit too expensive to just have as a gimmick.

I would get that. If it was less $$

I bought an expensive Dyson "pet" vacuum a few years ago, and for all its claims, still burnt out on my dog's undercoat detritus. Oh well. (I haven't found a vacuum yet that will handle that stuff in the amounts he produces, and I'm on my sixth model.)

But this looks cool (NPI) and innovative. The price will come down as the market adjusts.

Mythbusters built one of these on the cheap a while ago. They pointed it downward, and used it as a hovering device - which works because of the significant downward airflow it creates.
