I love tireless photo archives of the seemingly mundane objects we run into every day. To wit: this study of 96 bathroom air blowers from around the world by photographer Douglas Wilson.
Even though that guy from Dyson is right re: these things never, ever drying your hands sufficiently, it’s fascinating to see the variety of designs. (Looks like Wilson has yet to run across an AirBlade in his travels).
Check out the full set on Flickr, and Douglas’s portfolio site as well. [Flickr, Douglas Wilson via Build]

Wow, this is interesting. Who knew there were so many varieties of hand dryers!

Can’t see the ones from melbourne airport in there… they’re the coolest ones ever, you stick your hands down in them and draw them out slowly, and a “blade” of warm air dries your hands off.
