The great thing about person-powered inventions like this is that it saves energy (good for the world) and money. But many people don't think that is saves money 2 ways, less energy consumed and you can get rid of your gym memebership :) Besides, no excuses with this one. Your clothes get dirty, they need to get washed, so you workout.

I read about a dog-powered washing machine once and for the life of me can't conceive of how it would work...

I love it!! And I want one! I also love the Laundro-Gym idea...good stuff.

I'm really happy to see this----I had asked my brother last year if he could put together just such a thing--not only for washers, but other motor powered appliances as well as water pumps.

hey this idea occurred to me recently, i am glad to see someone else thought of it to, and actually put it together, i really need one of these

I have thought about this washing machine. Finally there is someone put his heart in it. Besides the saving money and environment, there are numerous of benefits-it can teach your kid to be independent, prevent the diabetes..etc

I would like to have one for myself.

Any idea where I can get blueprints for one of these things? I'd like to make this a part of a sustainability campaign for my college campus.

I remember "Mary Ann" washing clothes this way on "Gilligan's Island". I wondered why couldn't someone make a real one.

This is a great design and Im a real fan!

Just wondering how you could modify/ re design this pedal powered washing machine so it is a feasable option for developing countries which cant find old washing machines in the tip to convert?

Any feedback would be much appreciated
