What is EquiDry?

EquiDry is a concept hairdryer designed specifically for horses. Sport horses train during winter, meaning that after they sweat, they get very cold. If this is not dealt with properly, they can get skin conditions. Even a warm cover is sometimes not enough. This is the problem EquiDry solves.

Process

The course this project was a part of was intended to be a study in planning, research, ideation, and documentation, and the process used to achieve the tasks set out by the course reflect that.

Note - The following sketch pages were completed by Samantha Dixon

Result

The result was a concept, with a model made in Fusion360 and rendered in KeyShot. (There is no physical scale model made of Equidry.) The design theoretically works, with enough battery power to dry down a horse in 15 minutes.
