Normally, the agitation of the dryer would do this.

We use a big loop of line (100 feet of line gives 50 feet of hanging space) between two weatherproof pulleys. That way I can stand at one end and pull the laundry to me. (Think depression-era tenement house technology.) In bad weather, we dry laundry inside over our loft railings. Soon our dryer will go the way of our dishwasher -- pretty much unused.
