  • Abstract
    This paper is discussing the work of Sir James Dyson, famed British inventor, enterpreneur and engineer. James Dyson has shown an unconventional and obstinate streak from the start: the long-distance runner with the determination to do things differently. After graduating from the RCA, Dyson got a job with local engineering company Rotork, where he designed his first project the Sea Truck a high-speed landing craft. Working alongside Jeremy Fry, he adopted an Edisonian approach to design: making prototype after prototype until he got it just right.
