Abstract
A dryer for drying hair or clothes is disclosed. The dryer includes a head and a handle attached to the head. The dryer further includes ultrasonic devices, a controller, a vacuum pump, and a reservoir. The head has a surface on which inlet holes are formed. The ultrasonic devices are positioned on the surface of the head. The ultrasonic devices produce ultrasonic vibrations that break down water molecules into mist. The controller controls an operation of the ultrasonic devices. The vacuum pump is positioned inside the head to generate suction force that draws the mist into the head. The reservoir is positioned inside the handle and connected to the vacuum pump by way of a conduit. The reservoir collects the mist generated by the plurality of the ultrasonic devices.
