James Dyson
Sir James Dyson is an English inventor, industrial designer, and entrepreneur who founded and chairs Dyson Ltd. He is best known for inventing the bagless vacuum cleaner using cyclonic separation technology, which he developed over five years and roughly 5,127 prototypes before launching his first mass-produced model, the DC01, in 1993. He founded the James Dyson Foundation in 2002 to support engineering education and established the Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology in 2017. His father died of prostate cancer when he was nine years old, and he was raised in what he described as a penniless household before receiving a bursary to attend Gresham's School.
