From the article:

> Aeromine said... the patented system is motionless and virtually silent

Edit: This is just a quote from the article! I'm only trying to provide context from the article to the above comment. There's no need to signal your disagreement with this quote by voting on it.



Judging by the 30 second clip they show it's motionless in the same sense as dyson's fans are bladeless. The motion and blades are less in-your-face, but still present.


By motionless they mean something other than "no moving parts" as it has a turbine connected to a generator.


It has motion. The cylinder rotates. All boils down to how long that mechanical part will last prior to needing to be replaced.


Imagine if it had no motion!

It would appear to fly off at supersonic speeds as it ignored -earth's rotation -earth's movement around sun -solar system's movement around the galaxy -galaxy's drift through the universe

(Sorry "no motion" is like a claim out of a Dilbert cartoon)


We are obviously operating with the planet as our reference frame.
