How I Built This

4 statements about Cyclone, every show

HOW I BUILT THIS Assertion Supported
Turner was cast as 'Cyclone' on the TV show American Gladiators
“They call, they called me Cyclone. That's, they thought I was very, I was big and I was very fast, and that's just the name they came up with.”
Barry Turner Feb 24, 2025 ▶ 14:50 Lenny & Larry’s Protein Snacks: Barry Turner
HOW I BUILT THIS Assertion Partly supported
Dyson: Existing cyclones separated dust to 20 microns; vacuums needed 0.5 microns
“Firstly, at that time, the state of the art was that cyclones were only good at separating dust, down to about 20 microns, whereas I had to get it down to half a micron, cigarette smoke type particles.”

Dyson: Cyclonic Separation Collects Dust Continuously Without Clogging
“Well, over the two weekends while I'm welding up this thirty-foot-high one, I realized the point of this cyclone, which is that it collects dust all the time without ever blocking or clogging.”
Sir James Dyson Jul 22, 2019 ▶ 15:02 Dyson: James Dyson (2018)
HOW I BUILT THIS Assertion Not checkable as stated
James Dyson sneaked into a sawmill to measure an industrial cyclone
“So I went and copied one of those that I saw on a local sawmill. I climbed over the wall at night and took some sort of measurements and examined it. And we came back and over two weekends we made one that was about 30 foot high.”
