An outdoor clothes dryer made as a rotating drum which uses the air from out of doors to dry clothes instead of cumbersome clothes lines and energy hogging conventional indoor dryers. A small 12 volt motor rotates the drum with power drawn from a conventional car battery that is kept continously charged with a small solar collector. The advantages are that it would not need to be as exposed as a clothes line, uses zero energy, can be mounted on a veranda or apartment wall and can be left to be unloaded as the owner wishes.
