Matthew: I have one question – where do you put your hands?

    In the cavity I guess.

    If you’re *really* lucky, you also get to take them out again.

    You draw your hands up between the orange bands and it squeezes the water off, rather than blowing/heating the water off, it does this with air pressure!

    These are very cool. They have ones like them in the toilets in the RDS. You put your hands in from the top and powerful jets of air blow downwards as you bring you hands back up and out. So your hands are dry by the time you take them out.

    They work much better then the old ones 😛

    We’ve got these in a shopping centre here. You stick your hands in the slot in the top, and it sends out a thin ‘blade’ of air at the narrowest point. Apparently slowly inserting and then removing your hands will dry them, but you feel very silly doing it.

    There’s an animation on http://www.dysonairblade.co.uk/ :-).

    I have absolutely no desire to know where Garrett puts his hands.

    Click on “Unique hand drying action” (don’t worry, SFW) on the page he linked to.
