Video: DIY the crap out of summer with this badass bladeless fan project

Dyson’s incredible bladeless fans are a perennial table-topper in any list of summer-saving tech essentials. Trouble is, they don’t half cost a few quid.
Thankfully, although it won’t look nearly as fancy as Sir James’ heatwave-beating creation, there’s a way to save money and rustle one up from a few household essentials.
In a video posted to his popular YouTube channel (via Shortlist), Rulof Maker says “the best way to understand how a bladeless fan works is to build one.”
The DIY/lifehacking expert proceeds to do so from a normal tabletop fan, a plant pot, a small plastic vase, a piece of plexiglass and a 5 gallon water jug.
