Looks impressive!

[Tosh]

It does look impressive, but I bet it costs sixty-squillion quid and will never fit into my pram next to my backpack.

[eddie d]

how does it dry the windows when its raining .or do you have the day off

[matt]

a bit of a scoop for professional window cleaner aswell 

breaking news, hot off the press

[Jeff Brimble]

It leaves the windows dry.

[NWH]

How does it work.

[chris@c.m.s]

Wonder if it can recycle the water?
 

[Jeff Brimble]

I think the bottom manifold out let is for the air out supply. They have also redisigned and lightened the ergolite and brush, now called the E2.

[NWH]

Yeah but how does it dry the glass.

[cherubs cleaning]

it blow drys it like a car wash

The idea that this can work (WFP dry windows) is ludricous. Remember that petrol engine that gave 150mpg, the battery that lasts forever and weighs nothing?
It took hundreds of years of science and observation to get osmosis, and then millions of US space race dollars to get reverse osmosis.It took twenty or so years of the best auto engineers in the world to come up with the wiper blade after internal combustion engines powered vehicles.(invented 'brilliantly'  about ten years later by a window cleaner for window cleaning).
If it really finished dry you wouldn't need pure, if you don't need pure you don't need half the science.

Such a thing is possible but when it happens the following conditions will probably be met.
1. Someone makes a breakthrough in a field totally unrelated to window cleaning. For example Dyson has blowers that can produce unheard of pressures (vacuum cleaners suck they've turned it around).
2.Some brilliant individual push's the barriers
3.Several people /corporations all come up with the same idea at the same time.IE. liebnitz and Newton both invented calculus at the same time, and there are countless other examples.
4. Such a breakthrough wouldn't be held over for a trade show and it wouldn't be a window cleaning magazine scoop, it would be on News at Ten and in Scientific Amercian.

Don't worry guys - if it works then Matt will be along soon showing how a Henry vacuum cleaner, a Honda petrol generator and hovercraft technology can easily be adapted with an old coathanger to let us build our own!

[Jeff Brimble]

Dont know about Matt but the insides of fishing poles are already hollow and to a certain extent self sealing. Was also thinking about doing the reverse and using the self supporting poles to suck gutters.Suck and blow.

[Clive McDonald]

Yes i did have Jeff in mind as the brilliant individual, and then a ten year patent battle to follow with someone like Peter F , while yet another party makes all the money. In the future windows won't be cleaned they'll be Brimbled (verb).

[Jeff Brimble]

I prefer being an adjective 

[Pat Purcell]

That window looks brimbly clean

[Pj]

it blow drys it like a car wash

You can say that again!

Now that is a brilliant idea we have a spare wet and dry vac and a fishing pole and some gaffer tape so it will give me something to do on rainy days.
Not sure if the wife will be happy about me knicking the vac but its for a good cause.

Hmmm.

It is hard enough getting a completely spot free finish with pure water.  What complications can you imagine with a warm air blower on the window?
Spots spreading like streaks if you're not really perfect in your finish.
We'll see.

Window cleaning used to be a simple job

[Pat Purcell]

I look forward to the "blow them dry "    versus       " leave them wet" threads
