Some of the more powerful motors need more voltage to operate but it would be a waste to have all small motors also use 220 volts. Think of it like a semi truck. It needs the larger, more powerful engine to do it's job but to put that same motor in an economy car would be way too much.

How can you plug my 220 dryer inTo the existing 110 Plug?

To safely connect a 220-volt dryer to a 110-volt outlet, you cannot directly plug it in, as the voltage and amperage requirements are different. Instead, you should consult a licensed electrician to either install a dedicated 220-volt outlet or use a transformer that can convert the voltage appropriately. Attempting to use a 220-volt appliance with a 110-volt outlet can damage the appliance and pose a serious safety hazard.
