It's caused by static cling. As the clothes tumble around together, it causes friction between the fabrics, and certain fabrics (which is usually most fabrics) have the ability to create static electricity, or static cling, that keeps clothes stuck together. (Hint: try using Bounce sheets or other dryer sheets, because they prevent static cling on clothes).

Why do clothes taken from a clothes dryer somethimes cling together?
When clothes come out of the dryer still warm, the fabric fibers are more susceptible to static electricity, which can cause them to cling together. This is due to the friction created as the clothes rub against each other in the dryer. Adding a dryer sheet or reducing the drying time can help reduce static cling.
When a shirt and a sock from the dryer stick together what does this tell you about them?
When clothes are in the dryer and they tumble they create friction causing the electrons of an atom to build up on the sock , creating static electricity which creates a negative charge. The shirt is still uncharged, so when they come out of the dryer the socks negative charge attracts the protons in the shirt making them stick together. It is also known as induction.
How does clothes in the dryer produce electric charge?
Clothes rubbing against each other and the dryer drum create friction, causing electrons to transfer between the materials. This transfer of electrons builds up electric charge on the clothes. When the clothes are separated or come into contact with another material, this charge can be discharged as static electricity.
What is the energy transformation of a clothes dryer?
Electrical energy is converted to heat in the heating element. It is also converted to magnetic energy in the motor, which is converted into mechanical energy (and turns the drum). If it is a gas dryer, chemical energy is turned to heat at the burner.
Explain why wool socks that have just come out of a clothes dryer will stick to a pair of nylon running pants?
When wool socks that have just come out of a clothes dryer are in contact with nylon running pants, static electricity can build up between the two materials. This static charge can cause the wool socks to stick to the nylon running pants due to opposite charges attracting each other. This effect is more common in dry environments.

Why do clothes stick to you when they come right out of the dryer?
Static
Should you turn clothes inside out for drying them in clothes dryer?
If the clothes have gems or anything that can come off then yes
Why do my clothes come out of the dryer smelling burnt?
Clothes may come out of the dryer smelling burnt due to overheating, prolonged drying time, or a buildup of lint in the dryer. This can cause the fabric to scorch and emit a burnt smell. It is important to clean the lint trap regularly and ensure the dryer is not overheating to prevent this issue.
What is co-efficient of drying?
The coefficient of drying is a number about the utility of a dryer. A simple example : You have dirty clothes dry, and you wash them. So now, you have a totally of 4kg wet clothes and you put them on the dryer. The coefficient of drying K come from this formula : K = Weight of wet clothes / Weight of dry clothes So it depends from the speed of your dryer!

Buy Them Together Or Apart?
The only way to wash clothes if you have a family is with a washer and dryer. You can buy a washing machine and dryer separately or together, depending on which one you need. They come in all colors now and you can find them at most large retail stores and home and garden supply stores. If you don�t have the money to spend on a washer and dryer at one time, either get one and save the money for the other, or lay them away.

When did the dryer come out?
In the early 1800s, prototype clothes dryers were first starting to be invented in England and France. One common kind of early clothes dryer was the ventilator, made by a Frenchman named Pochon. It was a barrel-shaped metal drum with holes in it that was turned by hand over a fire. One early American patent for a clothes dryer was granted to George T. Sampson on June 7, 1892. Sampson's dryer used the heat from a stove to dry clothes and was another type of ventilator machine.
Why consecutive pages of books come stuck together?
Mistake in gluing the spine.
How do you know if clothes dryer is hard wired?
Hard wired means that there is no plug and receptacle in the circuit powering the dryer. What you will find is a metal jacketed cable that will come out of the wall or floor and go right into the dryer.
