Working principle behind a hair dryer?

A traditional hair dryer evaporates water from your hair using a stream of heated air blown into the hair. The temperature and time of drying must be carefully controlled to avoid damaging the hair shafts. Newer hair dryer technology uses electrical charges (ions) to strip water molecules from your hair, which reportedly is faster and less likely to damage hair (split ends, frizzy, dull). Reportedly it removes moisture from the surface of the hair while leaving some moisture within the hair shaft for improved sheen. Some manufacturers claim that using crystals of the mineral tourmaline in the construction of the dryer produces a superior electrical charge, while using ceramic heater elements produces superior hot air, so the latest high-priced dryers boast "Ceramic Tourmaline Ionic" technology.


Your hair dryer has lights going off inside it what is wrong with it?

It sounds like the commutator is sparking. It means that the carbon brushes have worn down or broken and the spring that keeps pressure on the brushes is now rubbing on the commutator. Do not operate the dryer because it will only damage it further. See if the manufacturer has a parts list for the model you have. Look for a part that is called 'brushes'. They are easy to replace. If you find the parts, check the price of them as compared to a new hair dryer. Sometimes replacement parts are more expensive that the original equipment.
