“ As engineers, we have to see beyond 
existing technology and ask ‘is there a better 
way?’ That’s really what Dyson is all about – 
new thinking to solve everyday problems.  
 
I invented Dyson cyclone technology in 
the same way. I knew there had to be an 
alternative to the old, clogged technology. 
Some 5,127 prototypes later, I had it. 
 
More recently we’ve been looking at the 
fixed wheels under conventional cleaners. 
All uprights have them, but they don’t steer. 
That seemed somewhat ridiculous to us since 
they need to move around things.  
So we set to work...
  The answer was the ball.  
It turns almost effortlessly 
on a sixpence.”
