How does a Dyson bladeless fan work?

I just don't get it, how can a fan be a fan without blades?

Technically it is not a "fan".  But there's a motor in the base pedestal which pushes air up into the ring and out one side.  The real 'magic' comes from fluid dynamics.  As the air from the motor comes out of the ring in one direction, air surrounding that ring gets moved along with it.  Because there are no spinning blades, it isn't "buffeted" and, presumably, provides a steadier breeze.
