Losing your phone to water damage can be a miserable situation, but the 'DryBox' promises to revive your wet phone if it can be reached within 36 hours. With a 80 percent success rate, the device dryers work better than putting your phone in rice and praying furiously. The box only takes 25 minutes to bring your phone from a waterlogged brick to a fully functioning mobile device.
The 'DryBox' works by using a combination of three forces: heat, suction and light. The box uses a vacuum pump in conjunction with heating elements and lights to remove the moisture from your spoiled phone. Though the device is unfeasible to own at home, you will soon be able to go to your local convenience store when disaster strikes.
