I never heard of that one! Very interesting, but does the dryer have
enough pressure to push the air thru the water?
Also, won't that pump a LOT of humidity into the basement?

I've seen louvered type that will actually close, or a vynal type with

the metal ones stop working after lint gets into the hinges.

tape the wall up and stick the end of the dryer vent hose end down into
a 5 gallon bucket of water, put a brick on it to hold it down in there.
free lint free heat




ITs not free heat, nor humidity,

Thats a waste of your time, and effort. Run the dryer vent like it should
be, with metal duct and get a decent termination cap for it and be done with
it.
If you want humidity in the home, get a humidifier installed on your
furnace. Its called RELATIVE humidity for a reason.

And while moister air will indeed hold more heat, using your dryer to get
teh sometimes blast of it is wrong.
