A study of rare quasars with powerful outflows and anomalously weak emission lines has shown that these objects are in a transitional phase of 'blowing off' their dust cocoons. Using spectroscopy and polarimetry, outflow velocities of up to 0.16c were measured, and a predominance of tiny dust grains
