Dyson vacuum cleaner belts. We stock belts for all Dyson models including dc07, dc14, dc17 and the Dyson animal.
Dyson is a British appliances manufacturer. Its main products are vacuum cleaners that use cyclonic separation. The founder, James Dyson, used centrifugal particle separation after finding that to restore suction, the dust bag in his vacuum cleaner needed to be replaced – even when it was not full.
Dyson developed 5,127 Dual Cyclone prototype designs between 1979 and 1984. The first prototype vacuum cleaner, the G-Force, was built in 1983, and appeared on the front cover of Design Magazine the same year. In 1986, a production version of the G-Force was first sold in Japan.
In 1991, it won the International Design Fair prize in Japan, and became a status symbol there, after which the Japanese licensed and sold the product for $2,000 each.
The biggest vacuum cleaner manufacturers refused to licence his technology, so Dyson decided to design, manufacture and advertise a vacuum cleaner himself. In 1999, US company Hoover was found guilty of patent infringement and later admitted that it did consider buying the patent from James Dyson, but only to keep the technology out of the market.
Using the income from the Japanese licence, James Dyson set up the Dyson company, opening a research centre and factory in Wiltshire, England, in June 1993. His first production version of a dual cyclone vacuum cleaner featuring constant suction was the DC01, sold for £200. In their research for the vacuum cleaner, when Dyson asked people whether they would be happy with a transparent container for the dust, most respondents said no. Dyson and his team decided to make a transparent container anyway, primarily for advertising purposes.
After the introduction of the DC02, DC02 Absolute, DC02 De Stijl, DC05, DC04, DC06 and DC04 Zorbster, the root8 Cyclone was introduced in April 2001 as the Dyson DC07, which uses seven smaller funnels on top of the vacuum.
A Dyson cyclone works by employing cyclonic separation, which spins air at high speed. Dirt and dust are thrown out of the airflow and collected in the bin, not on a filter or in a bag.
Cyclone technology works by building on dual cyclone technology. On top of the vacuum chamber, seven funnel-shaped channels were added that force air to travel in higher curvature cyclones than in the initial cyclone, creating higher centrifugal force, allowing smaller particles to be captured before the air is expelled.
The powerful suction spins out larger dirt and debris. The shroud then filters out fluff and dirt. The fast moving air takes the smaller dirt and dust particles into the cones where the dirty air is accelerated to 900 mph (1,400 km/h), spinning at over 324,000 rpm in each cone. Centrifugal forces of 200,000 g are exerted on the tiny particles moving in the 900 mph (1,400 km/h) dirty air inside the cones. The momentum of the particles is so high, that cigarette smoke particles separate from the air at the narrow end of the cones and gather in the container. The use of centrifugal forces rather than fine filters, results in the Dyson maintaining suction, with no influence on the amount of dust that is collected in the container.
