## Abstract

A body dryer system includes a drive unit to heat and pressurize air; a head unit to expel air; a power system and a control system; the power system and the control system are to activate the drive unit; and air is heated and pressurized via the drive unit and pushed to the head unit to be expelled.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A body dryer system, comprising:
a drive unit configured to heat and pressurize air, the drive unit having:
an elongated housing forming an inner cavity and having:
a base configured to carry a plurality of batteries and configured to rest on a ground surface;
an opening extending through a wall thickness, the opening forming a scent pocket configured to removably contain a scent packet therein, the scent pocket is secured to the elongated housing;
an air inlet;
a turbo axial compressor carried within the inner cavity and having a turbo axial fan blade operated via a motor, the turbo axial compressor is in gaseous communication with the scent pocket;
a heating element in direct communication with the turbo axial compressor; and
a converging chamber directly connected to the heating element;
a turbo axial compressor carried within the inner cavity and having a turbo axial fan blade operated via a motor;
a heating element in direct communication with the turbo axial compressor;
a converging chamber directly connected to the heating element;
an elongated tower extending from a first end to a second end;
a quick-disconnect secured to the converging chamber and the first end of the elongated tower, the quick-disconnect is configured to removably engage the elongated tower from the elongated housing;
a head unit configured to expel air toward the body of a user, the head unit in gaseous communication with the drive unit;
a swivel secured disposed between the head and the second end, the swivel is configured to allow rotational movement of the head relative to the second end; and
a control system, the control system having:
a sensor secured to the head, the sensor is configured to sense a user proximate to the head;
wherein the plurality of batteries and the control system are configured to activate the drive unit; and
wherein air is heated and pressurized via the drive unit and pushed through the head unit to be expelled.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the sensor is a motion sensor.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, further comprising:
a remote configured to wirelessly communicate with the control system.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the control system further comprises:
one or more lights; and
one or more speakers.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, further comprising:
a flexible conduit extending from the drive unit to the head unit.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

A method of drying, the method comprising:
providing the system of claim 1;
activating the drive unit via the control system, wherein air is pulled into the drive unit and pushed to the head unit;
adjusting the head unit as desired;
standing under the head unit to receive warmed and pressurized air; and
allowing the warmed and pressurized air to evaporate water.
