Abstract: An improved clothes dryer. The invention is a clothes dryer, which is capable of effectively drying clothes without heating the air used to dry the clothes. The dryer comprises a clothes container, a means to rotate said clothes container, and a system capable of blowing air with more than 75 times the idealized internal volume of the clothes container per minute through said clothes container. The invention can facilitate significant energy savings, is inexpensive to manufacture and has safety advantages. This is accomplished in this invention by using far more air flow through the dryer than flows through a conventional clothes dryer. The preferred embodiment has a clothes container with a high openness factor. In the preferred embodiment, the fan unit can be readily removed for servicing and cleaning. In the preferred embodiment the fan is capable of blowing approximately 200 times the volume of air as the volume of the clothes container each minute.
