I’m pretty sure Dyson killed these themselves the moment they turned these from concept to product.
I just hope they continue working on the air filtering butt plug because my friends and family are having a tough time being around me after dinner.
(I love an excuse to bring up my favorite thing out of the US Patent database.)
Do you know if they ever ended up making any of these? I’m struggling to really understand “non-adhesive adherence” as well as other parts of that abstract
I have been chuckling like a dork at this particular patent since such things first became searchable online, and have never found any evidence of it being manufactured and marketed at all.
The “non-adhesive adherence” is illustrated in the diagrams on the patent which you can see at the link. The inventor proposes “a facing of fluffy fibrous material” to provide the filtration and the adherence; basically this thing is the softer side of a velcro strip, bent in half with the fluff facing outward so it sticks to the inside of your buttcrack to hold itself in place in front of your anus and filter your farts through it.
If only there was a way to reuse vape pens for something useful/funny
Fill them with farts and then pass them around to friends.
Just imagine blasting monstrous cloud farts that smell like strawberries with a hint of shitting in the woods
My regular run of the mill butt plug drives the dogs nuts every time I rip a mean one.
Wealthy Republicans have them working on a filtered and thermocontrolled chastity belt as top priority.
How much coke were they on when they came up with those?
Just slightly less than when they came up with a fan that doesn’t buffet you with air as though that’s not what you want from a fan.
edit: For the low low price of…C$500??!
I hate the fan buffeting noise, and would be happy to have a fan that doesn’t do that. Not $500 happy, mind you.
Do companies release these nonsensical products as justification to squat on patents?
That and sometimes R&D are given funds to fuck around with, worst case scenario nothing comes of it best case they make a massive return on investment. Sometimes you need to throw together a prototype to see if anything out of it is useful, sure the device as a whole may be pointless but maybe someone stumbled upon a useful quick release concept.
With all the wildfire smoke in the air, I’m actually sorta interested in these now. I wonder if you can get em cheap.
Would guess this announcement will only boost interest esp from collectors
“I’ll be completely honest, quite often we work in an obsessive nature," says Jake. "We want this product. We want to make this thing. Sometimes before actually evaluating what the market response might be. And the market didn’t exist. So you’ve got to take those risks.”
So they did 0 market study, decided to build a gas station on the peak of a mountain and now marvel how nobody came.
Moron.
Well, great. Now what will I wear to look like a total idiot in public.
For a second, my brain pictured these combined with the only dynamics it knows from Dyson - the air blade thingies. It had a good chuckle picturing me getting a vigorous jet of air right in my schnozz.
Edit: may make for a pretty good decongestant, just, uuh… pray you like the taste of mucus…
Those were dead before they were released.
Dyson was dead to me when James Dyson campaigned for Brexit on the grounds that it would be better for British jobs, and then, once Brexit was done, moved his whole operation out of the UK to Singapore. After which he whined to the media about how people were being hard on him, calling him things like “hypocrite”, “traitor” or “weasly greedy little Farage-fellating wanker the country would be better off without.”
EU referendum: Sir James Dyson says Britain better off out
Leave campaign’s tweet about Dyson staying in the UK has aged terribly
Brexit backer Dyson says hypocrisy claim over HQ move abroad ‘incredibly harmful’
I missed that Dyson had sued people for calling him out on his hypocrisy. What a complete piece of shit that guy is.
Ironically their timing was almost spot-on for COVID… I could see these being somewhat useful for air travel, for example.
who cares
