Default Has anyone Tried to Recycle heat from Dryer vent?

First this is not for gas dryers.

Second, be ready for increased dust in your home.

Personally I believe it is a bad idea. Have you even seen the stuff in
a vent pipe, even with a filter on it.

Be sure to vent to the home in general. Venting to the same room will
drive up the humidity in that room making the dryer less efficient.

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
