DryBox: a rescue station for "drowned" phones

I think many representatives of the Habrasoobshchestvo had cases of "drowning" phones. Even the telephone that just fell to the ground always worries the nervous system (not to mention the cases when the “earth” is concrete). A smartphone that fell into the water, it is generally a disaster. Of course, not all telephones are watery, especially if some measures are taken. But still a significant part of the devices that fell into the water, fails either immediately or after some time. The developers of DryBox claim that their device is able to radically change the situation.

The fact is that DryBox uses the most effective ways to dry your phone. The basis of the work is a combination of heat, vacuum pump and light. The developers say that the percentage of devices returned to life is quite large and reaches about 80% (although it is unclear whether all the “drowned men” who fell into the hands of the developers, or the “drowned men” who did not show signs of life were meant even after drying by conventional methods).

Nevertheless, DryBox is able to cope with the majority of devices that arrived in the "rescue center" within 36 hours. After this period, the chances of saving the smartphone are reduced, and quite significant. again, according to the developers, the iPhone 5 is best dried and reanimated.





A patent is currently being reviewed for DryBox, in the relevant US authorities. Well, the device itself (which is clearly not a desktop one) is already installed in some stores and public places in cities such as San Antonio and Austin, Texas. So, if you are right there, and you have a drowned man, try to bring him back to life with the help of DryBox. The cost of drying ranges from 20 to 40 US dollars, depending on the wishes of the owners of the facility where DryBox is installed.
