It is my guess that the article of clothing is laid flat across the mesh opening and then the vacuum is turned on. If there is no broken seal, this should draw air through the article of clothing. Then one would move the wet spots over the mesh as needed. But I would think to dry carpet, one would need to have a means to lift the carpet so that the air that would be sucked would get under the carpet.

Actually this is not the case. It will draw water from the area surrounding the vacuum. I do understand your point of view. This was were I started.

In vacuum, pressure is decreased, the boiling point of the liquid drops, and water can then evaporate. So placing clothes into a vacuum chamber and sucking all the air out is a possible way to dry clothes. At room temperature and in vacuum conditions, water starts boiling.

The construction is simple enough, but how does it work?

I am truly at a loss of what this Instructable is and what it does. Having never seen this idea before, I cannot "picture" its use in my mind. How does it vacuum clothes and carpets, etc." I am sure the write knows but I just cannot connect a bucket with a screen on it to a clothes dryer! I need a little help on this one, please!
