Dyson – “Air Multiplier” Technology
I was watching a commercial the other day about something new from Dyson. It was a fan that didn’t use blades to move the air, but instead used an “airfoil-shaped ramp”. I wonder if this technology could be used for computer fans.
1. Air is drawn in
Up to 5.28 gallons of air per second is drawn in by an energy-efficient, brushless motor. A combination of the technologies used in turbochargers and jet engines generates powerful airflow.
2. Air is accelerated
Airflow is accelerated through an annular aperture. It passes over a 16° airfoil-shaped ramp, which channels its direction.
3. Air is induced
Air behind the Dyson Air Multiplier™ fan is drawn into the airflow, through a process known as inducement.
4. Air is entrained
Air around the machine is also drawn into the airflow, through a process known as entrainment, amplifying it 15 times.

Easily open multiple tabs when Firefox starts
Firefox lets you specify more than one site as your home page; each page will open in its own tab when you start Firefox. To specify multiple pages, you separate each address with a pipe character (|) when you set the home page.
Example: http://www.google.com|http://www.0092ff.com
Note: This feature may lead to unexpected results when you try to set your home page to a site that contains a pipe character in the address. To fix this problem, you will have to replace the pipes with their escape code (%7C).

The main water cooling parts have been ordered
I’ve received all the parts I listed in the first post, except for my case and it’s supposed to be here today. I’m really excited to get the case so I can start planning everything.
Yesterday, I order all the main water cooling parts and I’ve listed them below.
- Pump: Swiftech MCP655
- Radiator: Black Ice GTX Xtreme 360 Radiator
w/ Panaflo 120×38mm Ultra High Speed FBA12G12U1BX (3) - CPU Block: HEATKILLER® CPU Rev3.0
- Reservoir: Swiftech MCRES Micro Revision 2
- GPU Block: Enzotech VGA-IB Forged Copper VGA Waterblock
w/ Swiftech Copper BGA RAMsinks and Aluminum MOSFET Heatsinks Set - Tubing: Feser Tube Active UV Hose – 1/2″ ID (3/4″OD) Anti-Kink Tubing
- Fluid: Distilled Water w/ Silver KillCoils
This is my first time setting up a water cooled system, so I’m sure there are some minor things that I’ll need to purchase as well. Once all the main water cooling parts come in, I can start putting everything together and I can figure out where everything should go.
Once things start coming together, I’ll start posting pictures on here.
Make sure you watch for updates!
The process of building a new computer has begun!
I’m very excited to announce that I am going to be building a new computer for my home desktop. It’s been about 7 or 8 years since I built my current computer, so I would say it’s definitely time for a major upgrade. Last night, I order most of the main parts from Newegg.com and I’ve listed them all below.
- Case = Corsair Obsidian Series 800D
- PSU = Corsair CMPSU-750HX 750W
- Motherboard = GIGABYTE GA-790FXTA-UD5
- CPU = AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz
- Memory = OCZ AMD Black Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB)
- Video Card = EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+
- Hard Drives = Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB (2)
I also plan on setting it up for liquid cooling, but I haven’t ordered any of those parts yet. I still have some research to do for that part of it.
I will be posting updates on here as things unfold, so you should subscribe to get updated about new posts.
I’m so excited!
