New high-speed hand dryer sucks the water off your hands

"Mitsubishi Electric's High-speed Hand Dryer makes drying hands in public more quick and convenient, and even more sanitary. It's a unique breakthrough that provides clean and economical benefits to public restrooms, commercial food preparation facilities, the washrooms and toilets of offices, retail stores, factories -- virtually any place where people wash their hands. It works by applying a gentle but powerful gust to both sides of the hands. As you slowly pull your hands out of the bin, the "Dual Jet Drying" process literally forces water from both palms and backs of hands in seconds. It's also less messy than conventional electric hand dryers or paper towels."

Sounds great, except the units pictured look a bit too similar to washroom garbage receptacles. I can see a lot of trash being thrown into these things by unobservant idiots.
