James Dyson Design award winners.   The ultrasound tool set used before felling trees looks like a very strong commercial product (in concept).

 http://www.nbr.co.nz/article/james-dyson-design-awards-106327

Thanks DIB, David was very clever in the choice of his colors for the tool.  He's learned well from James.

Here's a excerpt about the award which is read worthy:

The Dyson Award was set up in 2001 by Avery Robinson, the distributors of Dyson in New Zealand. It is hosted in association with the British Council New Zealand, DINZ, Farry.Co Law and IPONZ to recognise and reward up and coming Kiwi designers with product design ideas that best demonstrate innovative and inspiring solutions to everyday problems.

Since this is the 9th DIB, why not post here what the results have been of the previous winners.  Good in concept only OR actual innovations that are in use today and affordable.  I'm still looking for a ball barrow and can't find one.

Carmine D.

Carmine,

All inventions begin in concept form.  Some questions would be...  is it mechanically feasible, is there a market, can a profit/enough profit be made, can strong utility patents be obtained?  Reading the article it sounds like the answer is yes.

The Ball Barrow was a product people wanted and was indeed a big success in the UK.  And since it was a UK success (i.e. money maker) it was stolen by a fellow who said he wanted the U.S. rights (or something).  The guy indeed made it and sold it, only he chose to steal it and James Dyson got nothing.  He could not afford to go to court (is my understanding).  So, when you beat up on the Ball Barrow, you're beating up a successful invention that sold and solved problems.  Since when do folks striking out in their careers have mega hits first time at bat or early in their careers…  almost never.  Was Henry Ford’s Quadricycle a mega hit?

More sugar coated dyson bull shine.  You're living in a dyson fantasy world with false fables. 

The ball barrow was junked in the USA.  Why?  With a full load in the ball barrow, it tipped too easily.  Couldn't get the darn ball barrow to go where it needed to go.  Not marketed here in the USA and hasn't been in years EXCEPT by ONE  German company that made several substantial modifications to give it balance.  Try to get a price on one and let us know what it costs.  The upshot of the failed ball barrow is that thanks to real construction minded people two regular barrow wheels are in front of the wheel barrow now on the better more expensive models.  Giving the wheel barrows both the qualities needed for its function: Stability and manueverabilty.   

BTW, a real business man and philantropist who you like to attack and malign here, Bill Gates [as well as his company Microsoft], was awarded the Indira Gandhi Prize for Peace, Disarmament and Development from India's president.  The prize recognizes his work with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.  It is awarded annually to individuals and organizations for CREATIVE efforts that promote peace, development and a new economic order.

As of this month, Gates' foundation committed nearly ONE BILLION DOLLARS for health and development projects in India. Most of the money has gone to prevent AIDS and eradicate polio in India.  My understanding is that the Gates' Foundation plans to do the same with the toughest health problems faced by some of the largets and poorest countries in the world.

Carmine,

I’m not sure why you’re having difficulty or projecting difficulty using the Ballbarrow when this woman is not...  are you not as capable as her?   DIB

My good dyson DIB friend:

What you have provided is a still picture with the young lady holding the barrow up off the ground with a half load.  Add several more timbers to it and let's see her navigate the terrain, especially the wet sinky one she on.  Note the GERMAN company's modifications and new name.

Carmine D.

	{ purchasing info } { technical details }

Quite frankly DIB my dyson friend, I prefer this one and guess what it's only $124 at LOWES and  much cheaper than the Nubarro.  The only advantage that NuBarro can claim over the 2 wheeled barrow is that for the extra $50 the NuBarro won't go flat.   I have a hand truck with tires.  Once a year I pump some air into the tires using a $10 bicycle tire pump [which BTW I can use on all my granddaughters' inflatable toys.  Now isn't that innovative!!]

CarmineD

Carmine,

The problem with the wheelbarrow you prefer is it cannot be dumped and turned simultaneously.  Nor can it turn easily or navigate thru a minefield of debris which is all to common at construction sites.  I’ve never seen this style on a construction site...  ever.

You’re preference of products has no relevancy when there are plenty of others who do prefer Dyson inventions.

Relax, the Ballbarrow looks/reads like it works great and has a center of gravity not unlike popular wheelbarrows used on many U.S. construction sites.  When you post you do sound like you know your topics (the Ballbarrow topic), only you don’t.  Good effort though.

The German company used the ball only after Sir James proved it worked and proved a market for it.  His (this) invention lives on in others products.  ...So much for your failing out the Ballbarrow as failure.


DIB

Well DIB, where you stand depends on where you sit and we know you are a dyson pawn here.  BTW that picture you posted is B&W.  I understand a dyson ballbarrow hasn't been manufactured since the 70's.  Can't buy one now new. 

The two wheel barrow is a staple here in Nevada and the USA.  All hardware stores sell them.  In fact if you look at the Lowes site it's their most popular seller.  Giving better traction and manuverabilty in the sand and gravel.   Easy to dump and turn if you have the wherewithal.  Note the yoke on the front between the tires for those purposes.  Most men working construction do know how and that's how they get the jobs.  They don't give those heavy construction jobs to women who may prefer the NuBarro around their home gardens but then again only if half full.  Unlike your dyson ball barrow, the Nubarro and two wheel barrows are both currently available right now and have been for quite awhile.   

Are you sure you know your dyson products well enough to pass judgement on me?  Maybe you need a little remedial dyson teaching.  Does dyson offer refresher courses on its extinct products: Called ancient product history?

Carmine D.

Here's a self-help course for you DIB on nubarro wheel barrows.  On me.  I understand Sir James doen't get any royalties for these sales and NuBarro hasn't paid him a cent in copyright infringement.  Why would a smart innovator like James with an in-house cadre of hot shot lawyers and hired guns on call in 3 piece suits and 3 names let this company get away with this.  Even uses dyson's name.

The NuBarro: The Ballbarrow Reincarnated?

Why not fill them with nitrogen?

Excellent thought.  There's still hope for you HS.  If you jump off the dyson ship in time.  TOM did!

Carmine D.

Note too DIB and HS that the 2 wheel barrow from LOWE's for $124 has an 8 cubic foot hopper capacity not 4 like the $165 nubarro.  So dyson product experts tell me which one is made for the heavy duty man hand hauls?

Carmine D.

CarmineD wrote:

I would opt for the 2 wheel as I believe it would be better balanced.  However, anyone who has to use a light weight vacuum should consider the Ball since they likely could not handle the added load weight in the 2 wheel.

OTH, cu capacity is not necessarily indicative of max weight that either can carry.  The 2 wheeler may be less sturdy and can only haul u 8 cu ft of feathers whereas the ball may support 4 cu ft of bricks.

More dyson sugar coated bull shine.  8 cu feet of the same material is more than 4 cu feet.  So beg to differ.  Cubic foot capacity is indicative of weight load. 

Carmine D.

Carmine,

Pass judgment?  Too funny.

Good luck earning the respect from the hard core construction types with your dual wheeled anti-tip wheelbarrow.  Below is standard on construction sites.      DIB

How absurd.  More excuses for your error.

HARDSELL wrote:

No more errors HS for your excuses.  Wheel barrows are measured by the hopper capacity not the weight load.  Why?  Because the weight load is a function of the man pushing and the barrow!

Carmine D.

Carmine,

So did you do your research... was Henry Fords Quadricycle a big money maker?  For a guy who’s invented nothing, you sure criticize those who do.

?????????????????????  What has this to do with H Ford?

Oh, almost forgot.  A misleading pro diversion when you can't answer a question.

HARDSELL wrote:

Yes it was a diversion.  But not by me.  By you and your twin dysoner DIB.  Henry Ford has nothing to do with the wheel barrows.  As usual DIB's sugar coated dyson bull shine was to praise dyson for this product to high heavens as a dyson innovation.  As I indicated, he's wrong.  The current ball barrow on the market today is called Nubarro and is not a dyson invention.  It is the invention of a German company that markets these products through the internet.  As I also said, the Nubarro is not a favorite among the heavy duty construction haulers.  Why?  Having half the hopper capacity and more expensive than the competition wheel barrows.  As I also said the upshot of ball barrows is that the latest and greatest in wheel barrows is a two wheeled hopper with twice the hopper capacity for much less money.  Dyson has nothing to do with barrows anymore.  He and his ballbarrow are ancient history.

BTW, DIB no comment on the awarding of the Indira Ghandi Peace Prize to Bill Gates over the weekend.  You know Bill.  The guy you like to attack and malign here as well as his company Microsoft.  Seems Bill Gates' Foundation has spent ONE BILLION DOLLARS to fight AIDS and eradicate polio in India.  Plans to do the same with other larger impoverished countries with health epidemics.  Nice guy.  Philantropist par excellence.

Carmine D.

CarmineD wrote:

What does Gates or aids have to do with vacuums?  Stay on the subject as you think others should.

More pro diversions. 

Is Gates donations in India to keep aids from spreading to USA with all the immigrants?  I sure hope it is not contagious by phone since most customer service centers are in India.

Hey HS:

I didn't post the thread about dyson awards.  Your twin dyson brother did.  Nor did I post the sugar coated dyson bull shine about the ballbarrow.  Again, your dyson twin did.  I just set the record straight on wheel barrows, ballbarrows and nubarros.  I' sick and tired of all the lies and half truths from you and HS about the leaders and standards for wheel barrows in the industry and in the USA.  Just to make your company and boss look good.  Like I said all hype and hawk.  Not fact.

You’re on your heals and wobbly.  Con’s that sound like they know their topics are not used to being challenged.  Remember you are not in your shop talking to a trusting soul (naive customer).

You criticize the inventor for not having a mega-winner with his first invention/one of his first inventions.  So I asked why not criticize Henry Ford’s first invention/s too.  My comparison is related unlike you bringing up a predator monopolist.

A wheelbarrow using a spherical pneumatic wheel was a Dyson invention and probably a worlds first.  All others got the idea from this Dyson invention.  After 20 years all patents become public property.  Is Bissell and TTI paying Dyson a royalty for the use of the Dyson dual cyclone?  Is anyone paying Dyson for the Fantom-like shroud?

All con’s do the rope-a-dope when they get squeezed.

Can you share anymore in-house selling con tricks-of-the trade?  How do your Dyson dealer buddies or acquaintances do it?... How do they go about nailing their Dyson’s/most of their Dyson’s to the floor?


DIB

DIB:

What part of this Nubarro has a spherical wheel.  This current wheel barrow, as limited as it is for heavy duty use, is truly a ball barrow.  Not the 1974 dyson version.  The only thing dyson licensed was the name ballbarrow.  The basic dyson design flunked Construction 101 in the USA and required several years and major modifications by the German company to make it a viable product even with limited applications.  At best the nubarro is a niche product for women/men gardeners in the USA.  Much too expensive and much too small a hopper capacity for real constrruction users.  That has a fmailiar ring.  Sounds true for all the dyson products after too.

Do you actually read what it is you post here and/or do you believe that the readers here can't read?  For years you've been calling the dyson ballbarrow a UK success and praising its inventor with cries of woe that it was stolen by a guy to market the US rights and is a huge success in the USA.  I've never seen one in a store!  All sugar coated dyson bull shine.  

In less than a few hours and posts, after presented with the facts here in the USA about the wheel barrow industry,  you then post that all inventors don't have a mega win on their first try.  Excuse me DIB.  It wasn't a win period.  It is a dud pure and simple.  It never made it to the market in the USA except by a GERMAN company Nubarro after substantial modifications.  Its a niche seller at best to little old ladies who garden.  Make up your mind, please DIB and say what you mean.  You do have a mind don't you?  Or does James make you leave that at the door when you enter his super secret laboratory?

Since you posted this topic and thread, which of the past 9 dyson award winners have made it to the big time?  As in big prize winners in the market place.  As a reader gauging the relevance of this award it gives credibility to know what the results of the these products have been.  Does the dyson award really mean anything?  If so, let us know what are the results of the previous winners?  What do you have to say?  You do have something to say, don't you?  Or does James cut out your tongue too when you go to work for him and put a little voice box in your throat with a pull string that gives the dyson party line when asked to speak?

The decision not to carry a certain brand is freedom of choice....no matter what the reason.  the owner of the shop can do that,

 thats why hes the owner.....it is what it is. if a dyson product isnt part of the owners grand plan ...thats life.., then dyson can open up lots

of his own dyson only stores ..[like oreck].. and service only dysons.....create a dyson  friends  network.. [but you gotta own a dyson to join]  a dyson world....to call his own.

put one in every mall in america......that will solve all  the problems  with dishonest sales/dealers /service......no need to wait.

bottom line....when you cast your vote....you vote for who you feel has you/your family  best intrests in mind ..that will be of benefit to you/your family. ..and you can do that

because its your right to choose. ..fredom of choice to not vote for the other  man/woman ....dyson was/has been voted out by the shop owners...get over it .

I repeat.  Dyson is following Hoover's path.  How many failed switches did Hoover have to replace? Only after government intervention.  Didn't Hoover's switch also cause some fires.

I would say if dyson doesn't like the indies that you attack and malign here servicing and selling dyson parts as an authorized dealer, dyson can refuse/debar them from the dyson franchise.  At least the indies are honest and up front on where they stand with dyson products and customers. 

The option if dyson refuses these indies franchises is not to have any authorized dyson vacuum stores to do the warranty/repair work.  Dyson customers would have no choice but to have to send their dyson vacuums through the mail for mail costs and weeks of waiting at a time for service.  Chose dyson's poison DIB.

I'm criticizing you for complimenting dyson with disengenous comparisons to HOOVER.  HOOVER has always had long productions periods and sales for its products.  Your fave brand changes new models every year and discontinues each previous model when it does.  Dyson can't compete with HOOVER in the big box store venues.  Maybe in on-line sales only for dyson as a niche product.  Not in the store sales.  Your brand has a rep for not selling anymore.  DC07, you know the model you were gifted as a refurb and sold off to buy a bagged Royal, is probably dyson's best seller ever in the USA.  It's discontinued. 

Carmine D. 

CarmineD wrote:

I get it now. Discuss only the good traits of any vac that you like and do not tell the whole story about their bad traits.  How many Hoover models were introduced with little or no change except the model #.  So many that they had to sell.  Remember all those new hoover models that would bankrupt Dyson?

Who had to sell?

What a DA you are,  the gifted DC07 was won on a bet from your fav vac.  Of course you can't face the truth.

HARDSELL wrote:

You sold your DC07 while still under warranty and used the proceeds to buy a bagged Royal Emminence [and not a dyson] from your local vacuum indy.  Tell the whole truth not just lies. 

Carmine D. 

CarmineD wrote:

Have I ever denied selling the DC07 or buying the Royal?  I also reported that I bought a Kirby.  Where is the lie except in your dreams?

Yes, I bought the Royal from an indy.  Otherwise I was basically limited to Hoover and Oreck.  I do not personally care for either. I have used others since the DC07.  Eureka Boss, DC14, Hoover Whisper.  THe DC07 is still my favorite with the 14 a close 2nd.  The Kirby and Royal are for sale.  I am undecided on my next purchase.

It will not likely be a Dyson.  I have stated numerous times that I think Dyson is on a downhill ride like hoover. 

HARDSELL wrote:

Well HS, it's nice to hear that you are still capable of some semblance of truth even if you couch your fave brand's decline disengenuously with HOOVER.  Recall your brand is still in its infancy.  HOOVER is over 100 years old and still going strong with sales and service.

No tell us, please.  If you, as a once satisfied dyson DC07 user, lost faith in James and his brand [and will likely not buy an existing dyson model] do you believe more dyson customers/dyson dealers are following your [and TOM's] path away from dyson?  Especially with the higher prices and lesser performance!
