Go for it - see how popular it is.
And for anything involving heating - kettles, cookers, immersions, washing machines, dishwashers, tumble driers, space heating appliances... there never was any in the first place.I would say two things, the switch mode power supply, and micro generation removed any benefit in using the device.
Where and how?At the time it first came out, there was some saving
Power yes, but not energy, which is what you pay for.By using less heat and running the dryer for longer to total power used is reduced
Yes latent heat of evaporation is the energy required to remove the water, however unless the dryer is in an environment where the humidity is 100%, then even pumping unheated air will in the end dry the cloths, and also unless the air leaving the dryer is at 100% humidity then there must be some wasted energy. So in real terms if you run a drier with 500W being used to heat the air it will dry cloths quicker than 4 x times the time taken with 2000W being used to heat the air.Power yes, but not energy, which is what you pay for.
Ye cannae change the laws of physics - if you need to evaporate a given amount of water then you need to put in a given amount of energy.
Interesting suggestion.Could it be more efficient to use energy to create a vacuum to dry the clothes ?. ... Boiling Temperature of water under a vacuum of of 29.9 inch Mercury is 1°F ( i.e. boiling normal freezing point ) hence virtually no heating required to dry the clothes.
In your dreamsThere must be an opium speed
You could try an experiment.So the experiment has never been done, so as to which saves the most energy LED of Tungsten is pure guess work.
You could try heating your house just with light bulbs, and see how you get on
