Why does a shirt or blouse taken from a clothes dryer sometimes cling to your body?
When the clothes are tossed and tumbled in the dryer, they rub against each other and build up static electricity. The static electricity is a build up of charges on the clothes and it is attracted to the opposite charge that is present on the body. Since opposite charges attract, the clothes cling to the body.

How do you convert from electric clothes dryer to gas clothes dryer?
The only practical way to do that would be to sell the electric clothes dryer and use the proceeds toward purchase of a gas dryer. Even if it was possible to convert the dryer the cost would be prohibitive versus a new dryer. If you mean converting the building, then you would need to have natural gas plumbing installed, and you would need an outlet that matches the voltage of the new dryer.

How do you convert a gas drier to an electric drier?
A gas clothes dryer will never become an electric dryer. To convert from an old gas dryer to a new electric model, the only major thing is to make sure there is the right kind of electric power outlet. Nearly all dryers require a large 30A 230V plug. Your gas dryer had only a regular 15A 117V plug, just light the other regular outlets in the house. Grounding is essential (!) for an electric dryer. If the ground is not there you will eventually get a horrible shock from the washer or dryer. A few clothes dryers (usually apartment sized models) use only the standard outlet, but expect a drying time of 2 hours plus for a small load of clothes.
