What I really want is something like that for the shower. No more getting out wet when it's cold.

- Aloisius 14y agoAgreed. Would be really useful in the gym too.
- ceejayoz 14y agoUse one of the Dyson dryers first. Your hands get cold - they use hot air, but evaporation makes it feel pretty cold until they're actually dry.
- VLM 14y agoSkin temp drops to dew point and not a degree lower. Wind speed can mess with total heat energy flux thru a surface via windchill, but thats more a long term / higher delta t effect. Hence the Floridians who are looking confused at your claim and the Arizonians who shiver along with you.
- mistercow 14y agoThere's also some evidence that air drying is better for your skin than using a towel. From what I've heard, if you're wealthy you can already get a system that pumps hot, dry air into your shower from all sides and dries you off. It may not have the skin-rippling magic of the AirBlade, but it gets the job done. A DIY version of this concept is on my list of "projects I lack the expertise to do safely or effectively, but I'll be damned if that stops me from wasting hours on ill-conceived diagrams and hundreds of dollars on parts".
