Iron is a chemical element; it has the symbol Fe (from Latin ferrum 'iron') and atomic number 26. It is a metal that belongs to the first transition series and group 8 of the periodic table. It is, by mass, the most common element on Earth, forming much of Earth's outer and inner core. It is the fourth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, being mainly deposited by meteorites in its metallic state.
Extracting usable metal from iron ores requires kilns or furnaces capable of reaching 1,500 °C (2,730 °F), about 500 °C (932 °F) higher than that required to smelt copper. Humans started to master that process in Eurasia during the 2nd millennium BC and the use of iron tools and weapons began to displace copper alloys – in some regions, only around 1200 BC. That event is considered the transition from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age. In the modern world, iron alloys, such as steel, stainless steel, cast iron and special steels, are by far the most common industrial metals, due to their mechanical properties and low cost. The iron and steel industry is thus very important economically, and iron is the cheapest metal, with a price of a few dollars per kilogram or pound.
Pristine and smooth pure iron surfaces are a mirror-like silvery-gray. Iron reacts readily with oxygen and water to produce brown-to-black hydrated iron oxides, commonly known as rust. Unlike the oxides of some other metals that form passivating layers, rust occupies more volume than the metal and thus flakes off, exposing more fresh surfaces for corrosion. Chemically, the most common oxidation states of iron are iron(II) and iron(III). Iron shares many properties of other transition metals, including the other group 8 elements, ruthenium and osmium. Iron forms compounds in a wide range of oxidation states, −4 to +7. Iron also forms many coordination compounds; some of them, such as ferrocene, ferrioxalate, and Prussian blue have substantial industrial, medical, or research applications.
The body of an adult human contains about 4 grams (0.005% body weight) of iron, mostly in hemoglobin and myoglobin. These two proteins play essential roles in oxygen transport by blood and oxygen storage in muscles. To maintain the necessary levels, human iron metabolism requires a minimum of iron in the diet. Iron is also the metal at the active site of many important redox enzymes dealing with cellular respiration and oxidation and reduction in plants and animals.

A vacuum (pl.: vacuums or vacua) is space devoid of matter. The word is derived from the Latin adjective vacuus (neuter vacuum) meaning "vacant" or "void". An approximation to such vacuum is a region with a gaseous pressure much less than atmospheric pressure. Physicists often discuss ideal test results that would occur in a perfect vacuum, which they sometimes simply call "vacuum" or free space, and use the term partial vacuum to refer to an actual imperfect vacuum as one might have in a laboratory or in space. In engineering and applied physics on the other hand, vacuum refers to any space in which the pressure is considerably lower than atmospheric pressure. The Latin term in vacuo is used to describe an object that is surrounded by a vacuum.
The quality of a partial vacuum refers to how closely it approaches a perfect vacuum. Other things equal, lower gas pressure means higher-quality vacuum. For example, a typical vacuum cleaner produces enough suction to reduce air pressure by around 20%. But higher-quality vacuums are possible. Ultra-high vacuum chambers, common in chemistry, physics, and engineering, operate below one trillionth (10−12) of atmospheric pressure (100 nPa), and can reach around 100 particles/cm3. Outer space is an even higher-quality vacuum, with the equivalent of just a few hydrogen atoms per cubic meter on average in intergalactic space.
Vacuum has been a frequent topic of philosophical debate since ancient Greek times, but was not studied empirically until the 17th century. Clemens Timpler (1605) philosophized about the experimental possibility of producing a vacuum in small tubes. Evangelista Torricelli produced the first laboratory vacuum in 1643, and other experimental techniques were developed as a result of his theories of atmospheric pressure. A Torricellian vacuum is created by filling with mercury a tall glass container closed at one end, and then inverting it in a bowl to contain the mercury (see below).
Vacuum became a valuable industrial tool in the 20th century with the introduction of incandescent light bulbs and vacuum tubes, and a wide array of vacuum technologies has since become available. The development of human spaceflight has raised interest in the impact of vacuum on human health, and on life forms in general.

This is my first cordless vac since the V6 Absolute, and all I can say is … WOW! After using the V15 Detect for over a week, I absolutely love it. Lots of incredibly smart improvements make it clear that a ton of thought and research went into making this new machine as great as it is. We’re a cat home, and this vac does an excellent job cleaning up animal fur–and the redesigned heads don’t get tangled at all. The laser attached to the hardwood-floor cleaning head reveals all kinds of dust and dirt you thought you got–and as someone with pollen and dust allergies, I find this especially useful. Plus, the way that the machine automatically adapts suction when going from hardwood floors to carpeting is a game-changer. After a long winter indoors, this is going to be the ultimate tool for spring cleaning (and beyond)!

This product is wonderful. It was embarrassing to see how much dust was in the canister after using it on a room which was supposedly clean.

I have three V11 models and was excited to try out the new improvements on the V15 Detect model – especially its ability to auto react to dust and floor type. The V15 performed significantly better for me than the V11 on my hardwood floors and carpets. It picks up larger objects and micro dust much better. The laser sensor shows when you are picking up invisible micro dust which allows you to better clean your floors.
The redesigned tools were a pleasant surprise – most of the tools have been improved. I really appreciate the anti-tangle comb. After using the vacuum for a full 60 minutes, there was no hair on the comb. All the hair made it into the canister (see photo of comb after use). The V15’s ability to auto react to floor type was noticeably smooth when switching from hardwood to carpet – it reacts better than the V11 model which I would stop and re-adjust.
My overall experience has been quite positive with the V15. I look forward to replacing my V11 models with more V15s in the near future.
Thank you Dyson for engineering another great product!

I am the proud owner of a Dyson V6 and Dyson DC25 Upright Motörhead. I received the Dyson Detect a little over a week ago and this vacuum has solved all the small things that I disliked about my V6. Suction, Canister Size and Ease of emptying are all significant improvements. Now lets get to the real technology, the Dyson Detect has a laser on the hardwood floor head which allows you to see dust and debris that is present on your floor. Normally, I wouldn’t think that this technology is needed but I will say that it unbelievable what you can’t see. The digital display on the head of the unit allows you to switch power modes, shows battery runtime and detects the micron size of the particles that you have just vacuumed up. Again, not a feature that I thought I’d like but I will admit I did enjoy knowing how much dirt I just vacuumed up and of what size it was. On Auto mode the Dyson Detect automatically detects floor type and amount of dirt and adjusts the motor accordingly – which to me is well, kinda amazing and awesome. There are lots of accessories with this vacuum – multiple heads for any job you could think of. I will say that because of the way you empty this canister you need to remove all attachments prior to emptying. The downside to this is only that the extension pole doesn’t come off as easily as I’d like. This is a very impressive vacuum and one that will be an asset to any home (big or small).

The latest handheld has a laser feature that shows dust you wouldn’t otherwise know is there. It’s amazing how much you miss. It has an electronic indicator for suction, battery life and mode. The battery indicator is really helpful. The machine comes with all the standard attachments plus the laser head. It can also carry 2 attachments on the arm which is handy. It’s a little heavier than the earlier versions we have but having it run longer is the payoff. Overall it’s a great vacuum.

I have had the v15 for about a week and the having had the v6 and the v10 I wasn’t sure how much of an impact the features that the v15 brings to the table would be. After a week of usage I can say hands down that the new tech on the v15 not only enhance to overall usability of the machine, it is actually somehow a lot more fun to use.
My first impressions after a week are far more positive than I expected.

We are veteran Dyson owners, and we’re accustomed to the changes in technology as Dyson introduces new models. The V15 Detect has taken this to a new level. The soft head is exceptional, as always, in picking up small particles from hard surfaces, which is our particular challenge. But the addition of a laser beam on this head highlights what we routinely miss, and that’s made a significant difference in how we deal with pet dust (two parrots and a cat). In addition, the V15 includes a head that makes it easier to reduce hair buildup, which is a significant advance in convenience for maintenance. In sum, the V15 is a cordless vacuum that changes the cleaning game.
