It's pressure innit. Except if you told folk that they'd go "Wot?" so it's Airx15.

Air Multiplier

Is a balloon an air multiplier?

You cannot multiply an element or a mix of elements except in a theoretical calculation.

I would reply but I really can't be bothered getting into a semantic arguement about "is it really multiplying?".

If I got a bag of marbles and chucked them through a hoop would you say that I was multiplying marbles?

I think the point of the "multiplication" is that more air flows through the hoop than is sucked in the inlet vents on the base.

I don't know if it's more or less efficient than a bladed fan but it's pretty effective, looks different and if you have e.g. small children with small fingers and are too lazy to keep an eye on them then it's probably worth it for that. I expect he'll sell plenty of them.

I find tieing them to the radiator works out cheaper. But each to their own.

Of course it's not multiplying, thats just marketing speak.

It may suprise you to know this but you're not the only forum member to have gone to university. For most of us the experience didn't result in a transformation into a pedantic troll.

So this fan is actually creating atoms?

What you are saying is that you cannot argue against or discus my points because you do not understand what I am talking and I know more than you on the subject so your only reply is that I am a troll.
