"One technology leads to another" – Jake Dyson http://ms.spr.ly/6059kOJv1 Motors travelling more than 30,000rpm didn't exist before Dyson came along.

Just like we did with the washing machine that was too expensive to make and the car that was too risky commercially to continue. Batteries too – we've been making solid-state batteries for over 10 years but we're not selling them yet. We pioneer, so it takes time to get things right, and sometimes it doesn't go anywhere, but we always learn something. Watch the full story with more chapters here http://ms.spr.ly/6050kOJvG.
