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




Lot of problems.

Lint, and lots of it.
Uncontrolled humidity release
If you have a gas dryer, CO release into the home.
And its against all codes now. There IS a reason for that.

As someone else suggested, if you are that worried about saving a buck, get
a heat recovery unit for your central air system, and have it installed.
