My mom actually got one of these for her office, because it is quiet. A little too much but I have to wonder:
increase the size and power and then make the tubes from futurama? O_o

Yes they are too dam expensive. There cool to see in person though.

But, I would like to see someone fly through a tube, then clog it, watch the people pile up. then I would laugh at them.

What amazes me is that the movie comes with a "Don't try this at home" disclaimer. What could possibly go wrong?

I bet the Dyson fans will be reduced to half price soon. If they wanted them to sell up here, they should have added a heater. tongue

Sort of. Static electricity can be generated by rubbing a Buckie bottle against a sheep, but only on dry days, so in practice no. (I'm typing this by the light of a peat fire.)
