Apparatuses and methods for safely drying an object

This invention describes a device for drying objects, like hair. It works by blowing air through a channel inside a main body, similar to a fan, while also using special energy sources, such as infrared emitters, to heat up the outside surface of that main body. The object is thus dried by both the airflow coming from the device and the radiant heat emitted from the device's exterior.

Why it matters: Advancements in compact, energy-efficient infrared emitters and thermal management materials could make the indirect radiant heating of the housing more effective and controllable.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateCustom housing, fan, infrared emitters, electronic controls.
