Abstract
A vented dryer includes a cabinet, a drum, a heater, and an energy harvesting system. The cabinet has an exhaust outlet and a cabinet inlet. The drum is rotatably supported within the cabinet and includes a laundry compartment positioned inside the drum. The heater heats a flow of air that travels through the drum and exits out the exhaust outlet. The energy harvesting system includes a turbine wheel that is rotatably coupled to a turbine wheel motor to recover mechanical energy from the flow of air exiting through the exhaust outlet of the cabinet and convert the recovered mechanical energy into electricity.
