After reading this story, I disagree with the process and direction of the experiment. The use of any hand dryer is to dry your hands AFTER you wash your hands with SOAP and WATER. NOT after you dip your hands in known bacteria. The experiment is obvious, and misleading. I don't see how hand dryer manufactures, including Dyson have any relation to this.
To put it more bluntly, I wipe my nose after a major sneeze, and hold my hands outside of a car window at 140mph. The result would be the same as this experiment. For the record, I'm an IT guru with 20 years experience, with physics, engineering, electrical, and electronic experience.
