There are no satisfactory electrical hand driers that I have ever experienced. How about a hybrid device?
My machine will accept a paper towel shred it and blast it with hot air onto your hands. Hands will be dried by the combined power of paper absorbancy and hot air.

I will welcome you, martbert, by criticizing your limited scope of vision for this marvelously halfbaked concept. This device could change our society, replacing both towels and clothes by blasting a layer of scented paper shreds (musk? strawberry?) onto the moist and freshly showered body. Shreds might adhere better or longer if imbued with glue. On showering later these shreds would be recaptured in the drain trap for reuse. |
|
| |
One would convey to the world your personality and fashion sense by the type of paper or other materials from which you choose to make your adherent shreds. |
|
| |
Given that shreds would probably shed from the body over the course of the day, advertisers would pay to have tiny messages printed on each shred. Or they could contain inspirational messages from the sacred books of your religion. |
|
| |
I will just welcome and leave it at that.Welcome [martbert] |
|
| |
Spas! Spas could have these fitted so that the hot blast material is grit 40 glasspaper, to act as a gentle exfoliant. |
|
| |
Why stop there? There must be topical intoxicants that can be added to the mix. |
|
| |
+ Indeed halfbaked and half dried. Welcome to our world
where hand dryers are an important part of science
experiments. |
|
| |
I understand those optical intoxicants give you high visual acuity. |
|
| |
Welcome to the Halfbakery, [martbert]. |
|
| |
This idea is completely impractical. You'll fit right in
here. |
|
| |
[+] even though the paper towel shreds should really be on
fire when they're blasted all over your hands. |
|
| |
Perfect solution for when you have a hybrid hand that is too wet. |
|
| |
Hot bathroom confetti machine. I like it. But the janitorial staff will revolt... |
|
| |
How about a vacuum chamber with snugly-fitting
cuffs? The hands are OK in a vacuum for a
surprisingly long time - certainly long enough for
surface water to boil off. Could double as temporary
breast enlarger. |
|
| |
Fire ... fire ... MUHWHAHAHAHAHA! |
|
| |
[calum] I'm sure you could sell sandblasting as a spa treatment ("We collect this sand from the sun-kissed, pollution-free beaches of an island in the Maldives. The exfoliant properties of the soft beach sand and microscopic coral particles, combined with energizing organic seaweed, blah blah blah ...") |
|
| |
How about the hand dryer extending a rounded, terry-cloth
protrusion into the air stream which caresses your hands,
then retracts to dry for a few seconds, then repeats - licking
your hands dry more quickly and more thoroughly than the
screaming mechanical dog breath machine? |
|
| |
For that to work, the hand-dryer should be shaped like a dragon's mouth and the towel shaped like a tongue.
Of course, the most effective
hand-dryer (for a male bathroom) would be a large toweling-covered pair of breasts. |
|
| |
This is in fact what should happen in showers, to bypass the impracticalities of soap. |
|
| |
// shaped like a dragon's mouth // |
|
| |
That's good, [hippo], you should post that. The flecks of flaming paper would add an extra frisson. |

What, like actual ... ladies in towelling bikinis ? That sounds like a men's room in a somewhat dubious establishment (the sort that men would pay a great deal of money to visit, too). |
