Bamuda: The most iconic Japanese design brand

BALMUDA is a brand that has been soaring in popularity in Japan in recent years. BALMUDA was founded in 2003. The founder of BALMUDA was once a rock singer. He researched product design and created the BALMUDA brand. . In 2009, Bamuda used GreenFan green fans to drive the Japanese fan market that had been stagnant for many years. At that time, air conditioners were already a mainstream product in the market, while Bamuda GreenFan green fans were sold in Japan at 10 times the price of similar products. When it is out of stock, you can imagine its strength.

After the Bamuda brand entered the Chinese market in 2014, it has always been the target of plagiarism and imitation, but it has never been surpassed.

Why do Bamuda's green fans attract many home appliance brands to imitate or even imitate? Perhaps, it can only be explained in one sentence, the Bamuda green fan is currently the best fan in the industry. It completely subverts the uncomfortable, inconsiderate, and unsightly disadvantages of traditional mechanical fans for more than one hundred years.

Simulates the gentle wind in nature, completely changing the quality of wind

Traditional fans will feel uncomfortable after being blown for a long time, and the natural wind blown outdoors is often a comfortable breeze, because the wind blown by the traditional fan is very different from the natural wind. First of all, the wind speed is different. The low-grade wind speed of traditional fans can reach 3 meters per second, which is equivalent to the level 3 wind of the meteorological standard. The comfortable wind in nature is generally 1 meter per second; secondly, the wind area The wind blown by a traditional fan is 50 cm in diameter at a distance of 3 meters, while the wind in the natural world is a large-area moving airflow, and people are completely wrapped in it; but the most important difference is that the traditional fan blows out. The wind is whirlpool, and the wind in the natural world is a large area of ​​horizontally moving air flow. The whirlpool is the biggest reason why we experience the difference between the wind of the traditional fan and the wind in the natural world. In order to realize the soft and comfortable wind feeling in the natural world, Bamuda’s green fan first solved the vortex-like wind structure of the traditional fan. The original outer 9 inner 5 double blade structure designed the difference between inner and outer wind speed as 1.8 times, the two winds of different speeds collide about 40cm in front of the fan and then spread, resulting in a large-area cluster of wind pushing forward. The wind blown out is different from the vortex of a traditional electric fan, but concentrated first. The back reflection and diffusion perfectly reproduce the shape of the wind in the natural world, completely changing the quality of the wind. The green fan miraculously reproduces the gentle breeze in the natural world.

The ultimate design starting from the sense of experience

After thoroughly upgrading the quality of the wind and solving the biggest problem, Bamuda was not satisfied. Then set out to solve the problem of reducing speed, reducing energy consumption, and reducing noise. The AC motor used by traditional fans cannot achieve low-speed operation. In order to reduce the wind speed, Bamuda uses a DC motor. The DC motor can perfectly achieve an operating space as high as 850 revolutions per minute and as low as 250 revolutions per minute, and between low speed and high speed It can carry out subtle divisions, and the high-precision control makes the switching between gears very smooth. The DC motor not only realizes the problem of speed reduction, but also solves the problem of reducing energy consumption. The power consumption is one-fifth of the traditional fan motor. The Bamuda green fan was also the first fan to use a DC motor. In the hot summer, the "buzzing" sound when using the fan will cause irritability and make the user feel worse. This is caused by the wind resistance caused by the contact between the air and the fan blades, and the wind in the natural world is almost silent of. Bamuda’s design team seeks solutions from bionics. Modern airplanes and ships are inspired by animals. The wings of flying birds across the sky, the fins of dolphins across the water, and the side streams of these animals. The line shape achieves efficient strokes, which is called "wing section" in bionics, and this shape has very little resistance to flow. In order to verify the resistance efficiency of the wing section shape, the Bamuda design team compared the wing section shape with the cylindrical resistance and found that the resistance generated by a 1 cm cylinder is equal to the resistance generated by a 170 cm wing section, which confirmed the wing. The cross-sectional shape can greatly reduce the air resistance. The noise is greatly reduced, and the efficiency of the motor is also improved. Subsequently, the cross-section of the front and rear protective nets was also made into a wing cross-section shape, and the air resistance was reduced as much as possible where all the air passed. The problem of noise reduction and consumption reduction is perfectly realized. The power consumption of the Bamuda green fan at low speed is only 2W, which is one-tenth of the traditional fan; and the noise is only 13 decibels, which is equivalent to two butterflies flapping their wings. the sound of. In the pursuit of the ultimate, there is no better but the best. Bamuda has achieved the ultimate in the design of the green fan.

Classic clean, simple appearance

When we see a fan, the quality of the appearance will also affect the user experience. Bamuda believes that the appearance is the first touch of the product experience, so the appearance is also very important. When designing the appearance of the fan, Xuan Terao of Bamuda determined two concepts. The first is to "allow users to recognize that it is a fan from any angle", and the second is to "allow users to recognize that it is a fan from any angle." From any angle, you can feel its modern atmosphere." In order to make the appearance not too trendy, but at the same time stylish and simple, after more than 2,000 design drafts were published, the transformation from a traditional electric fan to a Bamuda green fan was finally completed.

The experience of using the Bamuda green fan is that using it all day and night in summer, the body feels very comfortable, and even no wind is felt, but it is very cool. Don't worry about being exposed to the wind, the elderly and children at home can use it at night. Gradually gave up the length of time the air conditioner was used, and became more and more dependent on the use of green fans. This is the perfect fan we have always wanted. The media once interviewed the creator of Bamuda whether Terao Xuan will release a new generation of fan products. His answer was "There is no need to improve fan products in ten years." Just like the designer of Audi. As Mr. Wada Chi said: "New events are different from beautiful things. New things will become old things in the near future, and beautiful things will still be beautiful even after a hundred years."
