Dryers are not cheap, consume large amounts of energy, drive up electricity bills considerably, take up space and are responsible for a lot of carbon dioxide emissions.
That’s why a solar washer and dryer is an awesome idea.
This Machine may be a Contender in the Efforts to Save the World! With this solar dryer, dry your clothes with less energy consumption, use less fossil-fuel-generated electricity while using renewable solar energy and reducing carbon footprint.
A typical electric dryer uses about 800 kWh per year and a typical gas dryer uses about 30 therms of gas each year. On average, Americans dry five loads of laundry a week, spending over $100 a year to power a typical electric dryer, or over $40 a year to operate a similar natural gas dryer. In total, dryers now represent a $9 billion annual national energy bill - about 6% of residential electricity consumption and 2% of residential natural gas consumption. They consume as much electricity per year - 60 billion kWh - as the entire state of Massachusetts, and are responsible for 40 million metric tons of annual carbon dioxide emissions. By any measure, their energy use and environmental impact are large enough to be worth doing something about. (NRDC)
This unit is self contained, portable and cheap so may also be used for long camping trips, outdoor events, base camps, developing nations with no electric grid...

Good job

I was picturing something similar in my mind but instead of the metal tumbler using a tumbler made of acrylic or a hard glass that can amplify the heat of the sun plus the solar panel (not on the top) to power the small engine. Great job!

This is the most efficient method of drying clothes. on a typical day I can run this dryer in open sun for hours. Can you add heat to boost drying in spring/fall months ?
