Such a simple idea, yet so useful.

Which also happens to be the most expensive shit

the technology is protected by 210 patents (but 100 are still pending)... that's just incredible, dunno what to say.

They just break it down as much as possible for the patents so no one can make anything that's even remotely related without licensing fees. I don't think the number is unusual for something that contains both electronics and a motor with a fan.
