About DustGenie.com and Synchronomy LLC

DustGenie.com is owned and operated by Synchronomy LLC, a South Carolina Limited Liability Corporation. Synchronomy was formed to develop TurbnX™ powered products and licencees for the underlying technology. Synchronomy owns exclusive global rights to both the trademark and the underlying technology (for which U.S. and International patents are pending). The Dust Genie is the first TurbnX™ powered device to enter production, and DustGenie.com was developed to introduce it to the marketplace.

The Technology Behind the Dust Genie

It required 3 1/2 years of intensive R&D to ready the Dust Genie for its introduction, which is also the commercial debut of the TurbnX™. The TurbnX™ is an entirely new type of turbine, and it derives its power from the airflow a vacuum cleaner generates as part of its normal operation. Because the TurbnX™ is incredibly efficient, it is able to drive the Dust Genie’s rotating brush without impairing the suction of the vacuum cleaner, which is a major reason the Dust Genie is so effective.

While the TurbnX™ was conceived and born in a garage, the efficiency of the current generation owes much to the rounds of Computational Fluid Dynamics (“CFD”) modeling and analysis that have followed. CFD utilizes extremely powerful, multi-processor computers to simulate the dynamics of the flows through a turbine. Each round of CFD modeling and analysis began with the creation of a computerized model of the TurbnX™ at its then current stage of development. Next, that model was tweaked until its performance in computer simulations mirrored the real world performance of the TurbnX™. The refined model was then subjected to hours of computer simulations designed to identify potential improvements.

The most promising of those potential improvements were incorporated into the computerized model, and it was run through another series of computer simulations. In a matter of hours those simulations evaluated the probable impact of the proposed changes on the performance of the TurbnX™, a process that would have required weeks or months if physical prototypes had been built and tested.

CFD made it possible to refine the design of the TurbnX™ far more rapidly (and cost effectively) than would have been achievable otherwise. The latest generation is extremely efficient yet highly compact, as is the Dust Genie it powers. And because the TurbnX™ is the only moving part in the Dust Genie (other than sealed ball bearings), there isn’t much that can go wrong, making the Dust Genie reliable and durable.

Why the Dust Genie Is the Most Effective Duster Ever

The key to the Dust Genie’s unique capabilities lies in the interaction of the “virtual nozzle” created by the rotating brush with the powerful vortex generated by the TurbnX™. The rapid rotation of the TurbnX™ causes the air drawn through it to rotate as well, generating a vortex that enhances the vacuum cleaner's suction. Because the brush also rotates at a high rate of speed, its bristles form a “virtual nozzle” that concentrates the field of suction, increasing its effectiveness.

The net result: the stubbornly-clinging dust, lint, pollen, etc., that defeats other dusters is dislodged by the Dust Genie’s rotating brush, collected by the “virtual nozzle”, drawn into and through the TurbnX™ by vortex-enhanced suction, and deposited into the vacuum cleaner’s bag or dust cup.

Additional TurbnX™ Powered Products Under Development

TurbnX™ technology is flexible, scalable, and can be utilized in almost any system that features a flow of positively or negatively pressurized fluid, whether the fluid is a liquid or a gas. Because TurbnX™ powered devices require neither a separate power source nor any mechanical linkages, they are compact, lightweight, and inexpensive to manufacture, often having but a single moving part. Below are brief overviews of a few of the exciting applications currently under development.

For Pressure Washers- If you’ve ever cleaned a deck or a patio with a pressure washer, you know how easy it is to inadvertently damage the surface. Pressure washers too often blast away the uppermost layer of concrete patios, exposing the rough aggregate beneath, or carve gouges into wood decks. TurbnX™ powered brushes provide the scrubbing power needed to remove algae, mold, mildew and other deposits, while eliminating the need for the direct application of excessive water pressure that causes damage. Some of the devices will feature multiple TurbnX™s mounted on a manifold to make it easy to clean large areas quickly. Others will feature a single TurbnX™, making them ideal for cleaning car wheels, windows, siding, or anything else that benefits from a good scrubbing.

For Steam Cleaners- Steam cleaners have an advantage over other cleaning systems because the steam can kill organisms and sterilize surfaces. Unfortunately, steam cleaners have historically been at a disadvantage because it is difficult to remove heavier deposits without the aid of a powered brush. Because steam cleaners tend to need all of the energy available through an electrical circuit to generate enough steam, it hasn’t been possible to incorporate a rotary brush with enough scrubbing power to have much of an impact. TurbnX™ powered brushes will revolutionize steam cleaning because (unlike motorized brushes) they do not require energy to be diverted from the generation of steam. As in the Dust Genie, the brush is driven solely by the flow of pressurized fluid, in this case steam, that is already produced by the system.

For Bathrooms and Kitchen Sinks- Many of us have sprayers that are mounted on flexible hoses in our kitchens and bathrooms. The sprayers are convenient, but they are seldom very effective when it comes to serious cleaning. TurbnX™ powered brushes for kitchens and bathrooms will enable those sprayers to handle more demanding tasks, like scrubbing egg yolk from a plate or eliminating a nasty bathtub ring.
