Re: James Dyson answers design questions from Twitter [video]
#2Summary:
He talks about:
- His favourite products
- The worst designed product he owns
- His design heroes (and why)
- On the lack of experience when creating a product and turning that to an advantage (see below)
- On creating a prototype and patenting your physical product
- Speed of execution when creating a product
- Why hand dryers are not quiet
- Why he believes design and engineering is inseparable
An interesting opinion from Dyson on the lack of experience:
> "I think a lack of experience is a great help. An expert thinks he knows it all but he's also rather inhibited by his experience, his knowledge. He finds it difficult to steer off the well-known path.
> Whereas if you have a lack of experience, but huge curiosity, and you approach your new challenge with naivety, I think it's easier for you as inexperienced designer to come up with something different and to follow a different path."

#3Does he talk about the design of the legal structure for his tax avoidance vehicle that holds the land he has bought up in the UK? lol

#5When he says printers are the worst designed things, would be great to see a Dyson-engineered printer that was solid and reliable. Shame there probably isn't the market for them anymore.

Bill Gates is doing the same thing. It's annoying.

#7Maybe he should explain his Brexit position? As far as I know this man is not an expert in anything but shirking expensive gimmicky fans and being a huge hypocrite, why he should be considered a authority in design I don't know.
I've ways wondered what clout James Dyson gets for being confused with Freeman Dyson, an actual genius.

I really dislike Dyson.
1) Move to Singapore, citing that Britain won't join the euro as a factor. 2) EU energy efficiency test goes against his product 3) Campaigns for Brexit
I had one of his vacuum cleaners and it was under powered and always needed cleaning inside. I got a Meile with a bag afterwards. Much more powerful for less money.

Then the ventilators thing happened. "Don't give resources to medical firms that know how to build ventilators...give it to Dyson who will build it faster, better...unapproved and a complete failure
