 Now the real question is how this fan induced flow  is capable of inducting a 15 time greater flow of air.  The principal would appear to be the same as exhaust augmentation with a lot less energy.  So don’t see any deifying of the laws of physics so far.

 But,  if it works for the dyson fan, then why not get 15 times {:>) your current cooling air flow sitting on the ground with your engine running?:
 
 
 
Look at venturi and eductors. Used in moving huge amounts of fuel and water back and forth in ships to maintain trim using a small amount of the fluid at very high velocity. See also, jet pumps. The augmentor tubes in aircraft use a similar (venturi) principal. Nothing to see here.................move along. 1900s technology.
 
The magic is the application. I own one of the few remaining fans designed by Jim Bede. Several ring shaped guide vanes. Very effective.
 
The Dyson is neat but not $300 plus dollars neat. Like his $500 dollar vacuum cleaner????
