Removed the line: "(also spelled drier)" - the word "drier" is an adjective, not a noun. Also, wikipedia is not a dictionary, and as such does not exist to provide alternate ways of spelling a subject title. Alternate spellings should redirect to either a disambiguation page or to the article itself. ▫Bad▫harlick♠ 13:26, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Heat Pump Dryer section states "As with condensation dryers, the heat exchanger will not dry the internal air to as low a level of humidity as the ambient air". I'm fairly sure this statement is false. Much like a room dehumidifer, a heat pump dryer should pass the the return stream of air over the cold evaporator coil. The lower temperature condenses out extra water ("extra" relative to ambient temperature.) When the air is returned to ambient temperature, it's relative humidity is lower than ambient. --Mwnug (talk) 02:09, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Energy Star

removed the line about Energy Star not rating clothes dryers "because most of the clothes dryers marketed in the U.S. consume similarly massive amounts of energy", as the statement is not true (both gas and electric models are marketed in the US, e.g., with considerable difference in consumption). I suspect there are other reasons, but don't know of the official one.Tgoyle (talk) 21:16, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tumble dryer history

Be more specific on history of the home electric clothes dryer. Currently it says "Electric tumble dryers appeared in the 20th century" which narrows it down to a 100-year span. Mathglot (talk) 05:53, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

habitat loss calculation

The formula that is present on that website is completely unsubstantiated; they just multuply co2 in kg by .77 and claim that this is the land loss in m^2. Using this formula, there would be nothing left already! Assuming that the world produces 28,431,741,000 metric tons of co2/year (from wikipedia), wolfram alpha gives http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%28%2828431741000++metric+tons+%29in+kilograms%29%2F%28land+area+of+earth+in+meters+squared%29 a value of about .2, meaning that in 3.8 years, the entire world will be uninhabitable, assuming that there has been no habitat destruction already. I've removed those rediculous claims. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rob33322 (talk • contribs) 06:18, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
