Eliot Coven and Aaron Stathum, two students majoring in industrial design at Philadelphia University, jointly designed a foot-driven washing machine. It is made of plastic buckets with a capacity of about 19 liters and tap water pipes that can be seen everywhere in life.
A very creative and environmentally friendly small production. The principle is to use the thread tied to the feet to drive the plastic bucket to roll, thus achieving an effect similar to that of a drum washing machine. After washing is completed, the thread wrapped around the shaft is quickly twitched to cause the bucket to rotate rapidly, thereby drying the clothes.
Generally, this simple washing machine can hold 5 pieces of clothes, and a wash cycle takes about 20 minutes, excluding spin-drying time.
The purpose of this creative and environmentally friendly washing machine is to help remote and backward areas wash clothes more easily. In the past, people there used to wash clothes directly in the river, which would more or less pollute the water source. With this, it can The clothes are washed on the shore, and the free hands can be used for other things.
