They shift a lot of air.
They must pull the equivalent amount of air in from somewhere.
Dust extraction?
It would be nice to have one mounted on the bench next to a cold cut saw, so once the metal is cut you pull it through the Dyson and it blows all the cutting fluid off.
Blow off cleaning fluid from parts coming out of the parts washer?
Mount it upside down on wheels and use it as a floor sweeper? Or hand held as a bench sweeper?
Make the blade gap narrower and use it to take the plastic protective film off sheet metal?
Use it to push those annoying little chips out of the way when using a nibbler?
Put some orange led lights in it and attach a strip of silk. Put it in the garden as one of those fake flame things.
Give it a hydrogen feed and use it as an Inflator for your own mini blimp?
If I had one in my workshop I would bolt it onto the wall next to the sink and use it to replace the affectionately named "towel of filth".

They do have really nice motors in them. I'd probably build a vacuum table for moulding plastic.

Leave ‘em turned off as far as I’m concerned. Let’s go back to a roll of paper towel. Far more hygienic. As a complete aside, the office I worked in did away with paper towel & fitted hand dryers. These were the old type ones that took forever to dry your hands, I worked it out that the time taken x the hourly rate it was more expensive in time lost than a couple of sheets of paper ..... that was another economy that didn’t work then!

Please post pics if you take it apart. I keep wondering what sort of blower it uses every time I use one.
The hand dryers with a movable nozzle were better for drying clothes. We had just sat down at the yacht club annual dinner, First toast everyone got up, lady oposite me knocked a full pint of beer straight into my lap. And so i was in the gents drying my dinner jacket trousers under the hand dryer.

Slightly off-topic but a few years ago I used the loo in a pub, washed my hands then stuck my hands Tommy Cooper style (as you do) under an automatic dryer which didn't come on.
I walked over to the other one, stuck my hands under it and that one didn't come on either so I muttered something while drying my hands on my clothes instead.
My mate who was in there at the same time called out uhhh.... mate.... just as I was about to walk out, then reached under one and pulled out a paper towel.
Admittedly I'd had a few beers....
