Quit Burning your House Down! Reduce Lint.

There is nothing nicer than the smell of fresh laundry swaying in the breeze, while you watch it from your big front porch sipping lemonade…YEA RIGHT!  Who has time to make laundry so glamorous?! Not me.  But, I also don’t like the fact that I have to burn so much freakin’ energy just so my clothes can fluff…

In the meantime, I have cut down on dryer time by using a drying rack, which works…but we may soon have alternatives.

According to an article written by Angie Lewis, (Greenscape/first Monday/Sept. 2008) Hydromatic Technologies Corp., a local here in Orlando, FL, has created a dryer that uses 50% less energy, drys clothes 41% faster, and greatly reduces the risk of dryer-related fires compared to a conventional dryer.  This innovation uses a nontoxic and nonhazardous heat transfer fluid to heat the air blown inside a dryer.

Owner and entrepreneur, Michael Brown, began his scientific quest in a lab in his garage.  He had previously worked as an appliance repair man and was familiar with thermal fluids.  With this technology, Brown will beat the U.S. DOE’s deadline for “green” energy dryers three years early.

Keep on the lookout for a possible conversion kit for conventional dryers to turn hydronic.
