Default Has anyone Tried to Recycle heat from Dryer vent?

I imagine putting some find of a filter at the end of the vent house would
do the trick, and direct the vent into the laundry room. Some one
mentioned that the added humidity in the room might actually make the

drying
process take longer (it need dry air). Although in my case might not be

a
problem because the room is very large (24x24). Anyone ever tried

this,
did it work good, any problems? Thanks




I don't remember exactly where, but I do remember seeing a pipe/hose
contraption that connected to the dryer's outlet and then to the vent to the
outside and had a little slider that allowed you to open and close it. When
closed, the dryer's exhaust went through the thing to the outside and when
open it simply vented it into the room. The handy part was that it was tall
so that the open/closing thing was above the height of the dryer so it was
easy to use.

Probably google-able.
