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 haven't tried it yet, but I keep eyeing a similar redirection. The oil
tank for my home heating is above ground, very near where the dryer vent
exits. On extreme cold days (teens, single digits), water in the tank will
occasionally freeze up and block the fuel feed. I've been toying with the
idea of extending the vent to encase the tank feed. Hmmm.
