**Title:** Debunking the Efficiency of Bladeless Fans
**Summary:**
* The video experiments with bladeless fans, claiming to be more efficient than traditional fans.
* Testing reveals that, at the same power consumption (5W), a traditional DC fan produces faster air speed (1.8 m/s) and more airflow than a bladeless fan (1.4 m/s).
* Removing the bladeless fan's base, which directs air through small slits, actually increases its efficiency, suggesting the base design reduces overall air speed.
* The video concludes that bladeless fans offer no significant efficiency benefit over traditional fans, and their perceived advantages (e.g., quietness) stem from lower power consumption and airflow, not innovative design.
* The high price point of some bladeless fans (up to $670) is not justified by their performance.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text, each with a number and in short sentence form, excluding opinions:
**Technical Specifications and Measurements**
1. The bladeless fan used in the experiment consumed 4.9 Watts on its highest setting.
2. The bladeless fan produced a wind speed of 1.4 m/s at 5 Watts.
3. The first desktop fan tested consumed 19 Watts at its lowest speed.
4. The second desktop fan (with a DC motor) consumed 4.9 Watts and produced a wind speed of 1.8 m/s.
5. The fan from the bladeless fan base, when used without the base, produced a wind speed of up to 2.1 m/s at 5 Watts.
6. With the slits (in the bladeless base), the wind speed dropped to 1.4 m/s at the same wattage.
**Design and Functionality**
7. Bladeless fans are not truly bladeless; they have fan blades hidden in the base.
8. These hidden blades suck in air through the bottom and push it around gaps in the base.
9. The principle of "air multiplication" (as termed by Dyson) involves sucking in air from around the room due to lower pressure created by fast-moving air.
10. Both regular fans and bladeless fans entrain (pull in) air from the sides.
**Comparative Efficiency**
11. In the experiment, a regular fan (with a comparable motor) moved more air at a higher speed than the bladeless fan at the same power consumption.
12. Removing the bladeless fan's base and directing the fan's airflow without restriction increased efficiency.
**Pricing**
13. The bladeless fan used in the experiment cost around $50.
14. Some high-end Dyson bladeless fans can cost up to $670.
