Pedal n Spin Foot Cranked Washing Machine Explanation and Demo

Описание: The Pedal n Spin washing machine is a foot-cranked washing machine that rotates easily using a combination of the principle of a treadle system and pedal system. It is a pedal-powered connected rod driven rotating drum washing machine system that is purely mechanical in nature. It improves the user’s posture, ease of use, and sustainability of the current Divya washing machine, allowing longer-term adoption, improved hygiene, and increased rotation efficiency with a huge mechanical advantage.

My name is Kai Goodall, I am currently doing my MSc in Electrical Engineering at the University of Cape Town in South Africa. My research interests are automation (via machine learning and computer vision) and renewable energy systems. I am passionate about innovation and education through my engineering projects and designs.

I am currently making 4 more improved units of my Pedal n Spin washing machine innovation, with a sustainable woodworking company called Forest Creations, for donation to a local Cape Town informal settlement for field testing to further improve the device. Then 50 units will be manufactured and donated for large-scale field testing to a large number of informal settlements in Cape Town. I welcome financial support and collaboration in getting these next 50 units made and donated before serious mass production and distribution can take place to help people in need or people that want to be more sustainable and off-grid whilst increasing their fitness levels in South Africa and around the world.
