This man, has discovered the power of failure. I learned this recently too. You learn so much more, by trying stupid stupid things, but doing it with a keen eye and noting patterns. Thank you for providing this insightful interview
I have to say I love Dyson. I have a V6 for 6 years and it was a great investment. But, most importantly EVERY single time I call Customer Service at Dyson Canada 🇨🇦, the experience I have is outstanding. The Dyson team members are really knowledgeable about the products and if they recognize there is an actual part failure they will send a free replacement. I do recommend Dyson despite of being in the more expensive spectrum of VCs. Really worth it!
unlokia He is better because he actually builds,designs and comes up with all ideas unlike Steve jobs. Steve designs and comes up with the idea but doesn’t do all 3
While I get tired of his commercials, I admire his continuous improvements in his products. Not all are great; but he's at least trying. I was very impressed by the Fantom Thunder, which is still an incredibly good vacuum 20 years later, still works well and requires very minimal maintenence; the fact that virtually all dust remains in the cup and the original hepa filter remains clean even after all that time tells you how good the cyclone technology works.
to improve the filter from 20um to 0.5nm (cigerrete smoke) is impressive seeing how all existing bags had coallesed at 20um.the determination from the vision of the woodyard is a moment that must have been euphoric, the rest of us just have to work hard. but we can all get there.

Up until the year 2000, Dyson licensed its design to a distributor named Phantom (do you remember these vacuums? I do), which went out of business. The Dyson is actually a re branded Phantom, with the same design at an increased price, and new marketing efforts.
Not quite right, he licensed it to G-force in Japan. Eventually, in the 1990s, after eternal hurdles he decided to take things at his own hands. Which led to James manufacturing (in-house) and the advent of DC01.
Yes, the most important rule in product development is to make ONE change at a time and the reason why that is so important is that if you change two or more things and there is an improvement then you dont know which one it was that caused the improvement and you contaminate your discoveries as, it may have been change no2 that caused the improvement but your brain will automatically create a positive attitude to changes no 1 and no 3 and in the world of rapid prototyping there isnt always time and money to go back and redo the 3 tests individually. Each change needs to be studied and memorized one at a time so that your brain can process the information while you are sleeping, then one morning you wake up with a clear picture in your mind of the solution, it can take days but in complex designs it can take months or even decades to find a solution. If you dont have your own area specific research information memorized then your brain cannot come up with a solution as the solution doesnt exist yet, no where in the world is there one of those, with these advantages, so there is no one to turn to to get the information from because this invention doesnt exist yet. Just the same way a computer cannot process information without the proper program installed on it, your mind cannot come up with a solution unless you have memorized all of your own research data. If there are computer programs that do accurate simulations then that is the fastest cheapest way to do a lot of testing in a short period of time. After you have a working virtual prototype then the development work can start. Copy and paste folder one, rename it to folder 2 and zip up folder one for safety reasons, make one change in folder 2 and test it, then go to folder 3, repeat this xx times and you will have some thing that works, if folder 50 is a complete failure you delete it and reopen folder 49 and copy and paste it as folder 50. Its a long slow tedious process where world champion grade patience is required, you have to be able to concentrate hard for a minimum of between 10 and 18 hours a day to be successful. Once you satisfied with the virtual model you build a real one and then you further refine that to suit the manufacturing processes limitations. Then you build your first prototype off of your CAD drawings and you find 3-4 more things that need to be tuned in the drawing pack to make assembly faster and so on and so on. I gauge concentration at a level which is the same as when you are playing a game of chess.You need to be able to think at that level of intensity for 10 -18 hours a day, every day for months at a time, it doesn't come easily, its an exceptionally painful process that requires extraordinary levels of self discipline, commitment and self sacrifice because, there is no salary, there is no salary while you are developing a product full time. You doing it for free and incurring a huge debt this debt stays with you until you have sold the first couple of hundred units, to recoup your time and development costs. The sad news is that 99% of ideas never make it, people just dont buy them, they no good, so its a huge risk to take. Success in not guaranteed. You have to be a very special kind of person to be willing to put in all that work for no pay, just as a service to mankind, because in most cases thats all you get in return, nothing, nothing other than the knowledge that you tried your best, because if the market doesnt want it, there is nothing you can do about it, except go and try again with another new product, its a very hard way to make a living because for every persons success story there are at least 99 other people who have tried and failed to make a living off of an invention of theirs.
People thought it was great when the telephone was invented. The amazonian Indians had be communicating with each other up and down the river for thousands of years. Using their drums.
I found this article shows how does Dyson 5127 failed prototype look like : www.dennyyou.com/2018/06/04/james-dysons-5217-prototypes-before-he-invent-first-cyclone-vacuum-cleaner-dc01/
He may be a legend but I have found his vacuums are not any better than most big brands. They're also ridiculously overpriced. He's like the Apple of the vacuum world.
I am not doubting his intelligence because he is clearly an intelligent man, but Dyson did not invent the bagless vacuum cleaner. He did NOT, let me repeat that again. The first bagless vacuum was the Rexair, which debuted in 1936. Dyson didn’t even invent the “cyclonic action” used in Dysons either. The first model of Rexair did just that. To be fair, these were not sold in the UK until after being available for decades in the US, so he had probably never seen one. But, he knows all about it now, a well known collector introduced him to what is now known as the Rainbow. Other features on Dysons, such as an integrated brushroll motor, and swivel steering, are also not inventions of Dyson.
There is a rule in business: "Innovation = Invention x Commercialisation". It is a product ( multiplication) , not a simple sum. Creating something you can not commercialise is like creating nothing at all.
