Initial Prototype

This is our initial prototype.

Key features: 
  • Directed Air Spouts : Air spouts at both the top and bottom of the shirt were meant to channel air directly into the garment to improve airflow.
  • Conductive Aluminum Poles: The clothes are hung on poles made of conductive material, aluminum, with small holes drilled along one side to form fine air channels for better airflow distribution.
  • Heated air: A silicon heating strip is placed along the aluminum poles to evenly warm the air before it’s directed into the shirt, allowing for faster and more efficient drying.
  • Polycarbonate frame: The rack is made from non-conductive polycarbonate to ensure user safety, while also offering improved comfort and ergonomic design for everyday use.
  • Rack Size: The rack was designed to hold up to 6 shirts, ffering a spacious layout for household drying.
