Default Homemade Heat Pump Clothes Dryer

I have another dehumidifier I scored from my scrape metal run. I've been thinking of another use for it. So this idea jumped to my mind when seeing my power meter going nuts when the dryer was spinning. This could be a really simple unit that is basically a box with the clothes in it and a inlet and outlet that go thru the dehumidifier where it extracts the moisture. With such a low velocity air flowing I don't think lint would be to big of a problem? Maybe I could use some sort of vortex filter like off a dyson (tm) vacuume? What does everyone think? Do the clothes need to be tumbling like in a normal dryer to keep the wrinkles out?
