👉 The word "Dyson" comes from Greek and means "to find, to discover, or to seek." It describes a method or technique in which things are discovered through an investigation rather than being found by accident, usually using scientific instruments. A Dyson device is designed to capture particles of dust or other debris. These devices have sensors that detect particles and measure their size and movement, then use algorithms to sort them into categories. The process can be automated or manual, depending on the technology used. For example, a Dyson vacuum cleaner may use a sensor that detects a dust particle when it enters its suction port, then use algorithms to classify it based on its size and how much it's floating in the air (in terms of its mass). This results in more effective cleaning without having to manually sift through bags or trays. This is also known as a "Dyson effect" which occurs when objects move faster than expected by the sensors, creating a pattern that resembles dust. It can be used for various applications such as cleaning windows and carpets, as well as removing dirt from vehicles, among others.
