The universal hate for printers is what unites humanity.

This guy just dropped an entire business course in 12 minutes.

I'm just shocked and saddened that they've ignored the most significant vacuum cleaner advance: the retractable cord.

James Dyson is actually giving really good advice here. A lot of these types of Q&A's give really generic advice.

Sounds like Dyson needs to design a Printer

"It's a printer" Lol. Doesn't even matter what kind of printer, everyone can relate.

This was so entertaining, I had no idea the person behind Dyson was a true, genuine and passionate inventor. And to see him speak so nicely about independent designers and the unfair problems they face was amazing!

Probably the best interview/Answers so far. He leaps off the screen with his eloquent and articulate manner. It is very apparent that he is simply a genius.

Wired has been KILLING IT with these interviews. My favorite interview series on UKposts right now! Keep them coming

James Dyson: Makes legendary household appliances like vacums and hair dryers Also James Dyson: Loves his cast aluminum pencil sharper. The little things in life.

4:16 - Reminds me of the story of Marvin Pipkin, a chemist who started working for GE. GE used to assign newhires the joke/impossible task of frosting lightbulbs - He wasn't aware it was supposed to be impossible and he developed an etching acid which not only frosted the bulbs on the inside but strengthened the glass. Never start out with too many assumptions - they will stop you before can even get started. E.g. 'They said this is impossible - so why try?'

You know you’ve made it in life when you can wear glasses like that with absolute conviction.

Dude was honest and real on all his answers. Big respect.

This was staggeringly good. Would love to see a part 2 with James Dyson

What I learned today... Dyson is a man and not just the name of a company. 😅 Such a good video! Loved getting to know who this man is and the impact he has had. Loved hearing his perspective on things.

I don’t think people realize how many things this man has invented and revolutionized. He has helped push lithium batteries to the next level.

I love the passion in this man's eyes for his inventions. He knows how to break it down so well and digestible.

Gotta love how even he acknowledges that copyright and patent laws have completely failed their original purpose and are only useful to already big and rich companies by this point

I would happily watch hours and hours of this. So interesting!

Honestly, Someone should start paying this guy to do voice overs on documentaries and such. He has a nearly perfect, calm and well pronounced voice, that is just distinctive enough to be memorable.

5500 attempts and he did what was deemed impossible. I love it. Reminds me of that quote “I will not say I failed 1000 times, I will say that I discovered there are 1000 ways that can cause failure.”

I like how out of all the things this vacuum designer explained, the most cumbersome explanation was what "suction" is

That was very very well edited and straight to the points. Very good job editor.

wow, what a g. crazy how engaging he is to listen to. hes not only knowledgeable, but also opinionated and passionate.

I had no idea James Dyson was so charming and interesting. Makes me appreciate Dyson as a company more as well.

he sounds so calm and practical. A true engineer. Answered all the questions patiently.

What I immediately noticed about the pencil sharpener, with its vertical orientation and its graphite colour, is that you “dip” your pencil in it as one would dip a quill pen in an inkwell, recharging your utensil with its colour. Ready to draw. I LOVE that.

Can he just read an audiobook, his voice is fascinating

Just want to say thank you for doing this, honest, relatable while still interesting and helpful.

Quite possibly one of the most important sets of advice for inventors or business people. Gives plenty to consider, thanks Dyson.

I love how he said, "These are the right questions to be answering." Because in design, often times, you have to ask the right question to solve a problem.

Jose Ortega, at his next job interview: "Yes, I lack experience, but I think experts think they know it all, but they're inhibited by their knowledge." "you can go."

This man is a national treasure. He manages to sound intelligent and humble. There is nothing Dyson produces that isn’t good, and they have shaped and created entire industries and pushed boundaries on stuff we use we very day now; batteries and electric brushless motors. Dyson know more about battery management and cells than most tech companies let alone EV producers.

This was such a fun interview. Would love to see a part 2!!!

No wonder he's done so well for himself, so incredibly smart and insightful! What he said about naivety being good was so refreshing to hear, employers are always looking for experience, it's so hard for people to start their careers.

7:55 I think what Sharron Paul wanted to hear is: The bladeless fan has a fan with blades. It's inside the enclosure and it pushes the air out of the slit.

Last question/answer - YES! I’ve been arguing exactly that for years, with very poor results. Designers and engineers scoff at one-another, while that should be one - a coherent unit. Design must follow engineering and engineering must allow design. Thank you, I will play that to all my students, so they don’t think I’m an old craizie.

This was one of my favourite episodes. Please invite Mr Dyson for more

The question we all came for: the bladeless fan isn't exactly bladeless, it has a small rotor inside the housing. This rotor indeed has blades.

I really wish we could see his full answers. I imagine this was a much longer video that had to be edited down. Release the directors’ cut!

He really seems so nice, and his answers were so easy to follow

Can I just say this series is the most fascinating thing ever pls never stop making it

That was one of the best interviews I've seen on here. The last segment/piece was very very useful

Despite the high cost, my Dyson vacuum was one of my best purchases. Simple and practical design, makes vacuuming fun and easy. Plus, I always get compliments on it

Fascinating to hear his tips about not just design but retail.

This person is one of a kind, being this grounded despite being such a personality now. He's the kind of guy I wanna be

I once worked as a test operator in one of his factories in Malaysia. I can say, he's a genius with his inventions

i've got 2 patents and i'm absolutely appalled by the patenting system. they will go through patents all over the world before they register yours, but when they do - your invention is only protected in your country! anyone can copy it as long as they do it outside your country. making an international patent is simply too expensive and yet, even though it's called "international", you have to apply for patent in every single country in which you plan to sell your stuff! and you have to pay for it every single year. small inventors like me are simply hostages of the system. you can't compete with corporations and they can either steal your thing and produce it in whatever country where your thing isn't protected, or use this fact as leverage to pay you less for your patent than you deserve. it's absolutely appalling.. that's why most of patents we see are design patents that only last for 5 years and they become irrelevant anyway, like a car exterior or a phone design - every one gets patented every time. but it's done mostly for protection against patent scammers which is yet another hole in this whole patenting system.. the rare real inventions are usually in pharmaceuticals today, things you can't easily copy (or even comprehend), but it's rare.

Loved this! He's so brilliant, personable, and explains things very clearly.

Dyson is one of those brilliant companies that I will always have an immense amount of respect for. James is a class act, I'd love to see more.

The answer to the thumbnail question is: Dyson's bladeless fan is not bladeless. It just hides its perfectly normal bladed blower-fan inside the base of the appliance, and distributes it to the ring with ducts, at very low efficiency.

LOVE THISSS I love how he's so passionate about design and its functionality

Thank you Wired and James... We need more of these videos..👍🏼

Amazing interview. Some interesting and well-articulated responses to the questions.

It's funny how Dyson mentioned that he managed to defy the experts' opinions when developing his cyclonic vacuum cleaner separation systems, and then a few questions later, he gave his expert opinion on why noisy hand dryers are difficult to avoid. That said, I'm sure that he's very supportive of potential innovations that can make hand dryers become quieter (as what his own company is attempting to do).

"It's a printer" Next up: The Dyson printer.

Love what he said at the end about engineering and design

I absolutely loved this episode. Thank you

This guy was really knowledgeable. I normally dont watch these but I liked his knowledge

Could listen to him answering questions all day, super chilled, intelligent and straight to the point! Love it! Also very well spoken english ! Just admiration ! 👍🏻✔️

very happy a man like Dyson became financially successful, so many invertors in the past didn't have such luck.

I love this man, please bring us part 2 or another designer

The printer industry is such a scam, props to the man for being honest.

“They say nature abhors a vacuum, what does that mean for your field?” Would have been a grand question to ask him

"the next question is a bit of a personal one." I love that it is a subject that vexes him enough to take that question personally

3:46 couldn't agree more, it's like a fresh set of eyes, with fresh ideas

That's so nice, besides learning alot of new things, I enjoy this episode of 'Support' because of how calm yet approachable, and understandable it is. Thanks to everyone who participated in it's making, especially the genius himself~

So true: experts are "blinded" by experience. Wise words!

here I am, 26 and just learning that Dyson is a person and a delightful one at that 🥲

form follows function designs never goes out of fashion, those designs are always timeless

Best episode of this show yet! Fascinating man

If you liked this. His episode of “how I built this” is a must listen. Truly a stand out in terms of how he started and grew his company.

Accidentally clicked this but stayed throughout the whole video lmao James Dyson a legend !!

This was phenomenal. PLEASE bring him back.

This Format is awesome!

I’ve always loved his voice

I like this interview. As an engineer myself, it was very insightful to see the issues that exist in designing a new product. James Dyson did an amazing job in the interview and it was particularly fascinating for him to give candid answers. Well done James :)

This was awesome to watch. I literally want to go out and buy a Dyson product now because of this man, great information, super genuine and you can tell he is a true engineer and pioneer, and cool dude

Great straightforward answers!

How am I just hearing about this guy? He is a pleasure to listen to.

This was such an amazing interview! I could listen to him for hours.

I didn't realize design and engineering were that separate. I have nothing to do with either, but in my imagination, it feels clunky to separate them, especially when creating something new. There's probably efficient processes for all of this, though.

This guy is practically a Hollywood caricature of an inventor. I mean that in the best way possible. Jealous of his brilliance AND charisma.

Please do more with James, this was incredibly insightful

11:10 BROOOO EXACTLY 😭😭✋ I course Design and we students look at each other like... it's something we all realize but we don't talk much about

I love your design, and re-engineering of vacuum cleaners - I have many of them ! The primitive fan you talk about is simple, reliable has nicer, natural toned sounds - to sleep etc. The problem with the Dyson "bladeless fan" is the high pitch whine, of the high speed turbine !

truly enjoyed this ☺️💛

He looks like he would be such a nice grandpa!

Absolutely agree with his view on design and engineering being a completely symbiotic relationship.

So inspiring! Really a great man

His favourite product being a pencil sharpener is the sweetest thing I've ever seen

9:09 - "They thought it was an amplifier of some sort." It was. It amplified the airflow 20 times he just said.

I love how well thought out/ in depth his answers are.

The fact that some people got their answers 11/12 years later !! Worth waiting.

This was brilliant and a great resource

My design and manufacture teacher goes on about Mr Dyson every day at least once and has been doing this for over 20 years. For good reason too!

"and the noise it makes is just delightful.. " - so now I know why all my Dyson products are so freaking loud 🔊🔊🔊 :)

I really understand what he means by experience hindering new ideas. I have made many artistic designs, always focused on the most eye catching things, but in that search for uniqueness I ended up making all of my designs look the same. I only recently realized this, but this video has been an unlikely source of inspiration to break out of my creative rut!

This guy is literally a genius Idk if ppl actually know how much he’s done

James Dyson is like Tim Cooks brother that refused to help him develop good cooling for Macbooks because of "that one time when"
