The reason why an air conditioner helps to dry things is because it actually dehumidifies the air that it is chilling. The speed that water evaporates at depends on the relative humidity of the ambient air (this is effectively the ambient water vapor pressure), the vapor pressure of water...

Easiest way to do this would be to pop the piece of electronics in a shoebox with 2 holes. 1 hole should be exactly the size of the hair dryer. You'll need a thermometer to make sure the temperature inside the box doesn't get too hot (just poke the thermometer through the lid). Try to keep the...

TL;DR issue? Short version, if you need to dry electronics: put it in a container, heat the container to 120F and blow air over the top. That will beat all other methods by a long shot.

I know this is a long explanation and I hope you stayed with me. I'd love to hear if you find this useful.

Per my previous post, small amounts of liquid water won't move. Therefore, the only practical way to desiccate electronics is vapor movement. However, vapor movement is governed by 2 things. Although rice would seem to be a potential desiccant, it works very poorly. Vapor movement is described...

That's amazing!

Stay safe Lindsay!

In my 9-5, I deal with feeding reactants and humidity to a high current/power application. I've got some thoughts wrt the whole concept of using rice to desiccate electronics. No pun intended, but rice should (and indeed Mooch proved that it does) slow the process of desiccation of electronics...

Title says it all. I have a bit of experience w/batts, power, electronics and water. Usually, all the above mixed together.
