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.”

“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.”
