Full body drying system is ramping up production through an Indiegogo campaign.
Tyler Overk was concerned about bacteria in public places and the environmental downside to bathroom towels. He disliked that towels needed maintenance to perform their function and took up too much inventory space. His solution was the Body Dryer.
Body Dryer was designed to dry a body in thirty seconds for less. Additionally, if it was possible the team wanted the experience to be a pleasant one. Three years of development went into designing the system and creating the first prototype.

Hot or cold air can be selected from the Body Dryer, and when turned on super compressed ionized air is pushed up to bring the water down your body. A scale was added to the dryer to bring more functionality to the system.
Long term goals are to get the Body Dryer into businesses where several people need to be dried. Gyms, water parks, hotels and pools are the most obvious targets for this technology. The long form macro goal is for every home in America to have a drying system.
The device runs from standard 110 Volt power outlets, but a European plug attachment is planned. Weight rating is at 325 pounds but the company says that a larger person can be accommodated.
Body Dryer is a great invention that looks to be the first of many drying systems. The technology isn’t necessarily new but is being used here in a unique application. $50,000 was sought through this Indiegogo campaign to fund the company’s assembly line and that goal has been covered with $250,000 additional funding.
The campaign video and marketing information is well done, but the funding page and the company’s website are short on details. The most important detail for me is generally the expected delivery date for early adopters. Watching this project develop is going to be fantastic.
