Dyson bladeless fan balloon assault course
Engineers working for Dyson have used their new bladeless fan to create an assault course for a balloon… it must have been a quiet day.
Dozens of the Air Multiplier fans - which blow air through a bladeless hoop - were lined up around one of their labs.
The head of each fan was then positioned to create a complete loop of air flow and a balloon was launched into it.
The balloon then wobbles its way around the course - which goes along the floor and over desks and piles of boxes - being sucked in the rear of each fan before being blown towards the next.
It's all rather impressive, but at £200 per fan it seems a rather extravagant way of moving a balloon around. And why do you need to do that anyway?

A spokesperson for Dyson said: "Lots of experimentation with different sized balloons and other objects produced this video.
"And although edited to include our successful attempts, the video is made from completely genuine footage... and no, the balloon isn't attached to anything."
