🧺 Tumble Dryer Drum Physics: Cling Speed, Moisture, Drying and Energy Lab

A cut-away 3D tumble dryer where laundry tumbles in a rotating drum with lifters: tune drum speed against the cling speed sqrt(g/R) and Froude number, then run a drying cycle with constant-rate and falling-rate evaporation and read time, energy per kg of water, cost and CO2, with a clogged-lint-filter and heat-pump comparison.
