Cyclean Pedal Powered Washing Machine

I'd love to refrain from using the pat phrase "clean and green" to describe Cyclean, the pedal powered washing machine, but this thing really truly is. Invented by Alex Gadsen, the Cyclean was born out of frustration with waste and a hankering to tinker. The unit is constructed of used washing machine parts, a wheelbarrow and a bike. The machine is currently a working prototype, though Alex is looking for investors to help finance increase production. Cyclean is popular on the green event circuit and has been used for local demonstrations, and various local press and TV appearances. This could be the start of a whole new business concept - Laundro-Gyms! ::Via The Observer
