TODAY’S ENGINEERS

Dyson engineers experimented with rows of carbon fibre filaments on cleaner head brush bars. It was found that when spinning at speed they create static, which attracts the fine dust that regular cleaner heads leave behind on hard floors.

Not satisfied with dust removal improvements alone, Dyson engineers set about creating a cleaner head that didn’t get tangled. Two counter-rotating discs roll hairs and fibres into ball shapes, allowing Dyson vacuums to suck them up easily - with no tangles.
