HEAT

INSTEAD OF CREATING HEAT IT CAPTURES AND RETAINS THE SUNS HEAT LIKE A SOLAR WATER HEATER, GREENHOUSE OR YOUR CAR, SETTING IN THE SUN. THE CLEAR OUTER SHELL CAN BE USED IN COLDER CLIMATES AND MAY NOT BE NEEDED IN WARMER AREAS OR IN THE SUMMER.

ROTATION

THE DRUM TURNS A FEW TIMES A MINUET USING A SMALL SOLAR PANEL AND MOTOR. THE MOVEMENT OF CLOTHING DOSENT LEAVE THE FABRIC FEELING ROUGH OR WRINKLED, SO THE 5+ MINUETS OF MACHINE DRYING MANY USE WONT BE NEEDED.

EVAPORATION

SEVERAL VENTS LOCATED AROUND THE REAR OUTER EDGE ON BOTH DRUM AND SHELL ALLOW HOT, MOIST AIR TO RISE OUT OF TOP VENT AND BE REPLACED FROM AJACENT* VENT ON THE BOTTEM. THE VENTS HORIZONTAL PLACEMENT AND CONCAVE SHAPE PREVENTS RAIN FROM ENTERING.

SIZE

THE DRYER CAN BE SCALED* FOR DEMAND, FROM THE SIZE OF A REGULAR DRYER'S DRUM, OR BIG ENOUGH TO SERVE A LARGER FAIMELY, AS DEPICTED IN THE ATTATCHED IMAGE.

WHY

PASSIVE LINE DRYING METHODS HAVE BENIFITS. FOR MANY IT IS IMPRACTICAL DUE TO LIMITED SPACE, HOA REGULATIONS, WEATHER, OR TIME. THIS DRYER ALLOWS USERS TO DRY A LARGE AMOUNT OF CLOTHING IN A SMALL SPACE WITHOUT WORRY OF RAIN AND MINIMIZES THE AMOUNT OF TIME THE USER MUST WORK TO THAT OF A CONVENTONAL DRYER. BEING SIMILAR TO A CONVENTIONAL DRYER MAY BE THE DECIDING FACTOR FOR MANY WHO WOULD OTHERWISE REJECT A SUSTAINABLE METHOD OF DRYING.
