Design and Analysis of a Pedal Operated Washing and Drying Machine

Hakizimana E*, Masengesho P, Cyusa O, Niyigena M

Pedal-operated washing and drying machine (POWDM) is an inexpensive/cut rate washing and drying machine buildup of simple and reliable available scrap parts in our everyday life and it is looking like a commercially available horizontal axis washer. It is a machine designed in the way that produces power over human pedaling and the drive mechanism; alters that motion into essential rotary motion of the internal drum. The modernization of this machine is revealed in the design simplicity. Its affordable parts, low cost of maintenance, most of all it is cheap so that everyone should afford it and it can have no impact on the environment. We proposed this to solve the issue of washing clothes and design a new generation for everyone in washing and drying clothes. POWDM is a new idea, which should do wash clothes like the automatic washing machine available in the market, with the specification of drying immediately after washing. Current techniques for washing clothes do not function well in underdeveloped rural areas. Lack of electricity makes electrical washing machines unfeasible. The proposed and designed pedal operated washing and drying machine is a leader because it solves the clothes washing and drying problems in an effective, inexpensive and practical way.
