There's a reason why dryers tumble, and why the blower doesn't make an insane amount of noise.

I do like the idea of creating a vacuum to evaporate the water. I wonder if that would be more energy efficient? Should be I suspect, and detecting "dry" would be more reliable. When water stops converting to gas and ruining the vacuum, that's when it's dry.

I wonder if the vacuum method would eliminate the problem of shrinking wool sweaters too?
