I like home built energy saving projects but I think these two ideas are not terrible refined or cutting edge enough for me.

Sorry if I sound grumpy
Well I'm sure there is a reason why they use a dryer generally, though you might not think the reason has merit. ( certainly not on the day the video was made ) It's good to see people thinking about saving energy though, even if some of the ideas never take off.
