Washing Machine -Bicycle-Powered

It took four years to built the pedal-powered washing machine primarily from bicycle parts and empty barrels.This project was supervised and built by MIT students and faculty. Thanks to MIT students for thier active participation in this project.

The washing machine comprises of an outer housing made of a standard oil drum cut apart and welded to make a shorter barrel. The inner drum is made from a set of identical plastic pieces bolted together. The system is then connected to an old bicycle without wheels. The chain is connected to a gear mechanism harnessed from an old geared mountain bike. The highest gear is used for the spin cycle and the lowest one for the wash cycle. Cool idea and perhaps a cool machine.

The device to some extent is incomplete, as some water leaked around the edges of the barrel during the test. Anyway the they have successfully implemented thier idea. With some ammendments the product will be ready in the market very soon.
