As an engineer, one of the most crucial questions I address is “How do things work?”, the discipline is often looked upon as the one which builds itself upon a series of instructions that, when followed in a prescribed manner allows an expected result to show up. The consonance between the ordinance and the execution is set forth by the genius of a “designer” and the math of an “engineer”. James Dyson, the British inventor best known for the invention of the dual bagless vacuum cleaner which works on the principle of cyclonic separation a method wherein the dust particles and air are separated through vortex separation rather than the use of filters, once famously said that all his engineers are designers and all his designers are engineers. Simple, right? A bit of math and physics, and kaboom you have the magic. So where does that out-of-the-box thinking come from that allowed us to save a handsome sum by eliminating the use of garbage bags for house-cleaning purposes? The en...
