Lots of static electricity is created when drying your clothes. Why can’t the dryer send the static to ground?
In: Engineering
If an ion emitter is placed in the inlet air stream it releases positive and negative ions (oscillates, some of them neutralize eachother, but most make it to the clothes), they neutralize the static build up wherever it is occurring on the materials. It is a very low cost bit of electronics – used widely in the manufacturing of sensitive electronics to prevent damage during handling. It decreases dry time by allowing for more free movement of the garments. I don’t know of any production dryers currently utilizing this technical solution.
