"Having an idea is different to the infinitely harder and longer process of invention. At Dyson, we’re inspired by the ingenuity and tenacity of the great inventors."
JAMES DYSON

DC24 DRAWING and DC25 DRAWING celebrate the lengths engineers go to in making their inventions a reality. Their components are labelled with details of the tests they underwent and the time it took to develop them.

DC24 DRAWING and DC25 DRAWING are available in white, to suggest a prototype developed by SLS (Selective Laser Sintering). It’s our way of honouring the ingenuity and tenacity of our engineering heroes.

Great inventors know ideas don’t become reality overnight. Their brilliant, unfettered minds were matched only by their refusal to give up - seeing failure as a lesson, not an obstacle.

BRUNEL

Open seas and vast dry docks were Brunel’s laboratories. For 12 months he tested 20 giant, cast-iron screw propellers – to prove their superiority over traditional paddle steamers. One test involved a tug of war between a steamer and a ship driven by Brunel’s prototype screw propeller. Brunel’s ship won.

EDISON

Most people would have given up. Not Thomas Edison. To find the right material for light bulb filament he developed thousands of prototypes (including human hair, cedar, horn and bamboo).

The answer? Carbonised cotton thread.

GOODYEAR

From his makeshift laboratory Charles Goodyear spent nine years developing vulcanised rubber. He tried every conceivable concoction until, quite by chance, he dropped a rubber sample on a hot stove transforming it into a hard, smooth, springy substance now used in almost every walk of life.

BUCKMINSTER FULLER

Richard Buckminster Fuller methodically taught himself structural engineering after failing college. Later, he undertook an exhaustive study of beehives, fishing nets and other ‘networks’, eventually creating his geodesic dome – replicated around the world ever since.
