Non-Plug-In Heated Towel

Induction powered heated towel
  (+4)

A towel interwoven with heating elements that receives it's power from a special towel rack that supplies electricity to these elements through induction rather than plugging it into a wall outlet.

This would eliminate any shocking hazard. The advantage over a heated towel rack is A: the heating elements would reach all points of the towel equally and B: it's novel and neato.

See link for original idea this is based on.

You could also have a section of the floor wired with induction coils to heat a specially wired bath mat.

Neat idea but poses a shock hazard. plug-in_20towel

       I'd refrain from chewing on the towel rack.

       If it works by induction, it follows that you could generate electricity for your house by towelling yourself dry very vigorously near the towel rack
