In his State of the Union address on Tuesday, President Bush spoke of the need for the United States to eliminate its dependence on foreign oil. I agree whole-heartedly and I propose that the first step in this direction be the elimination of all petroleum-powered hair dryers and accessories. It is bad enough that our economy is reliant on Middle Eastern countries that despise us. What would we tell our children if World War III erupted over our insatiable desire for dry hair?

Do these things really exist? Has anyone ever used one?

They also manufactured a curling-iron, I beleive. The selling point, at the time, was the fact it was cordless, compact, and would get nice and hot fast. Battery power was out of the question.

ARE THESE BLOWER DRYERS (BUTANE) REALLY AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. I AM INTERESTED BECAUSE WE LIVE OFF GRID AND USE SOLAR FOR POWER, MY KIDS HAVE A FIT WHEN THEY COME AND CAN'T USE BLOW DRYERS. IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THESE PLEASE E-MAIL ME.

Reid Welch | Mar 14, 2007 12:59 PM
Complete combustion of hydrocarbon fuel (LPG) results in water and carbon dioxide only. LPG is clean-burning as a rule. There will be no carbon monoxide (the incomplete combustion of carbon). Hydrogen burns=makes water Carbon burns=makes CO2 or CO if only partially burned. Condensation from a car tailpipe is totally the result of normal combustion. When the pipe is cold it simply condenses the normally invisible water vapor. This is why cars issue plumes of "steam" on chill days. Pure hydrogen burned with O2 makes pure water and nothing else. But it is too explosive a reaction to easily control. The carbon in hydrocarbon fuels slows the rate of combustion. The carbon in fuels is pretty much a given, as hydrogen alone is not much found in nature. USA no longer educates its children in basic science. This is the most basic of science. Too bad. The hair drier idea is funny has hell. I would not want to trust one. WHUMP. My hair! My bad! It's dry!

Adam | May 31, 2006 11:11 AM
OK for all the 'water' people are talking about...that is caused by condensation in the exhaust pipe..it is not produced by the engine or the converter. That is why after the vehicle has been driven for a length of time there is no longer any water drippage

Jim Smmith | May 30, 2006 1:57 PM
There are butane-powered curling irons. They are available at many camping supply stores. While I don't use them, being "follically challenged", I have had girlfriends that owned them. Great on boats, camping, and anywhere electricity is scarce.

Ben | May 29, 2006 6:46 AM
For the record, that patent didn't suggest, nor did the product use, gasoline. The patent and the product both used butane or a similar flammable gas.

Darren | May 27, 2006 4:17 AM
Now, where do you suppose the water vaour in the converter comes from? The engine, of course, where it is produced.

kAY | May 11, 2006 12:34 AM
Hey......um your wrong. there is NO way that water vapor would turn it into a fan. Gas atoms are way too spread out to have an affect. If it was water then it would cuz liquids atoms are right next to another. BTW the water coming from your exhaust pipe is from the CATALYTIC CONVERTER.....not the engine.....what if the engine pumped out water vapor? who would to take their cars to get their emissions tested? just drink it.

Myself | May 7, 2006 9:00 PM
Combustion produces water vapor as a byproduct. Just look at the watter dripping from a car's tailpipe. That would tend to negate some of the desired effect, leaving you with a battery-powered fan, with the ability to explode as an added bonus. Now if the fan motor were powered by combustion too (or a thermal-difference peltier device), it might score some more cool points.

Gasoline and heat---always a good combination. How many D.H.P.G.'s (dry heads per gallon) does your dryer get???

dennis | Apr 6, 2006 7:14 PM
uhmmm i once let girls mess with my hair with a natural gas powered curling iron.. dont ask

shel | Mar 26, 2006 12:54 PM
My stepmom used to own a butane-powered blow dryer and curling iron that she bought to take on a camping trip.

Jon | Mar 23, 2006 8:22 AM
Reminds me of a medical program I saw where someone tried to dry their hair with an industrial paint dryer. Needless to say, it did not end well.

Elaine20 | Mar 19, 2006 8:15 AM
Being a girl... who LOVES dry hair... I would be scared SHITLESS to use this thing. But thats just me .... lol

Tampa Tom | Feb 7, 2006 3:12 PM
Is it me, or would it seem as if the exhaust gasses (CO, CO2) might kill you before you get your tresses all blown out and looking marvelous? I'll take my buzz cut any day of the week!

Mike Garrett | Feb 4, 2006 1:00 AM
Dries hair, melts windshield ice, warms your cold coffee,(no flammable cups please), bakes potatoes, makes popcorn on the fly, and produces the perfect creme brulee at night in the middle of the woods. Probably good for all sorts of other stuff, BUT never pack it in your carry-on if your flying somewhere. There must be a dozen Federal laws that this sucker violates.

Josh | Feb 2, 2006 4:16 PM
They existed at one time. My sister had one in the mid- or early nineties. They also manufactured a curling-iron, I beleive. The selling point, at the time, was the fact it was cordless, compact, and would get nice and hot fast. Battery power was out of the question.

Elizabeth | Feb 2, 2006 3:46 PM
I've never used a gas-powered hair dryer, but I have used a butane-powered curling iron: http://www.folica.com/Braun_Independe_d1083.html
