Wind-up/clockwork washing motor/mechanism functions like a wind-up clock. Cranking tightens coil-spring mechanism located Wind-up Washer base. The Wind-up Washer measures 117cm x 117cm. Turning Wind-up crank 10 times [360°] provides 1 hour wash/spin.
Hello and welcome to the project. I assume you might still be working on your idea, it would be great to learn more about how it works. Is it entirely manual? It looks pretty compact, is it a portable washing machine?
Looking forward to seeing more. Best of luck!
Hi Robin, Thanks for your comments. I will try to add more images. 1 - Cranking tightens coil-spring mechanism located Wind-up Washer base 2 - The Wind-up Washer measures 117cm x 117cm 3 - Turning Wind-up crank 10 times [360°] provides 1 hour wash/spin
Looks pretty cool! I would take this with me, but don't really get how it works. Is it operated manually? Anyway, great for camping for example ;)
Hi Vlad, The wind-up crank functions like a wind-up toy car. You turn the wind-up crank 10 times [360°]. Then the inner container/drum which holds the clothes, etc. will wash or spin-dry for 1 hour. Also, the wind-up crank handle on the top/lid of "Wind-up Washer" is retractable. You can either let it turn/spin in an extended or collapsed position.
Interesting concept and an accurate presentation! Your design could be used by campers , as Vlad suggested, but also by people that don't have access to electricity (3rd world countries - recently saw a documentary about it and I believe it would be more than useful for them).
Good luck and stay creative! :)
Someone needs to build this already. Like the comment above, perfect for camping!
Cool concept ,but it would be great if this could be connected to power grid and function on electricity too. Thumbs up!!
