Claims
- 1. A hair dryer, comprising:
- (a) a motor;
- (b) fan means driven by said motor for creating a stream of air;
- (c) an electrical circuit, said electrical circuit including at least one switch for opening and closing said electrical circuit;
- (d) a housing enclosing said fan, said electrical circuit and said motor, said housing having an air input aperture and at least one air output exit;
- (e) a conduit in fluid communication with said at least one air output exit of said housing whereby air exiting from said at least one air output of said housing will pass longitudinally through said conduit; and
- (f) a thermoelectric module in electrical communication with said electrical circuit, said module is supported within said conduit so as to divide said stream of air, whereby first and second portions of said stream of air flow over opposite planar faces of said thermoelectric module, said thermoelectric module operating with a substantially zero degree temperature differential between said opposite planar faces.
- 2. The hair dryer recited in claim 1, wherein said thermoelectric module is in substantial thermal communication with said conduit whereby at least a portion of heat rejected by one of said opposite planar faces of said thermoelectric module is absorbed by said conduit, said portion of heat is subsequently absorbed by another one of said opposite planar faces, and said thermoelectric module constantly pumps heat at maximum capacity.
- 3. The hair dryer recited in claim 1, further comprising:
- (g) adjustable damper means for varying air temperatures.
- 4. The hair dryer recited in claim 3, further comprising:
- (h) a rechargeable battery, whereby said dryer is completely portable.
- 5. The hair dryer recited in claim 4, wherein said battery is substantially shaped in the form of said housing.
