The thesis (airflow through the pile is supported by maintaining some necessary level of suction) seems perfectly consistent with my reply about the gates.

Wow, that under-glass view is excellent. Thank you very much. Even if it's extreme, I don't think I've seen anything like that happening with a Dyson before. I wonder if it does better on the back-pull?

First, thank you. Second, I should be explicit that I'm assuming power draw is held equal in my plots. The V16 can use very little power as I understand it, so that would make it perform even worse than it already does. And my estimates are also based on carpet data. With regard to TechRadar's...

I should probably post a summary: my guess as to the biggest contributor to the V16's apparent underperformance (when holding power draw equal) is (if that conclusion was somehow correct) likely easily solved) air bleed due to a quirk with the gate design. I take constructing models very...

I took adderall way too late and can't sleep so this is how I'm spending my time. A bad attempt to explain performance loss Quick run-through of plausible theories Is it the motor power that explains why it's so bad? IMO, at most a little bit. Boost mode on the V16 shouldn't be at a motor...

Is there any chance Dyson simply didn't allow older products to discharge as deeply? If the cells they are using in the V16 have a newer chemistry that can continuously supply high currents for longer before excessive wear is an issue, then that may explain some (though probably not all) of the...

Hey, I go by "John" and "cucumbers" online, and either one works. I've lurked this forum and automaticwashers for a long, long time, and so it should perhaps be no surprise that I am a fan of devices that help us all keep things clean. I'm not sure when this interest started, but I would've...
