The ‘one-cup water’ Washing Machine
A washing machine that uses only a cup of water to carry out a full wash, leaving clothes virtually dry, has been developed by British inventors.
Researchers say the technology, which uses less than 2 per cent of the water and energy of a conventional machine, could save billions of litres of water each year.
The machine, which has been created by academics at Leeds University, works by using thousands of plastic chips - each about half a centimetre in size - to absorb and remove dirt.
Around 44lb (20kilos) of the chips are added to each load, along with a cup of water and detergent.
During the washing cycle, the water is heated to help dissolve the dirt, which is then absorbed by the plastic chips.
The makers say the chips should be removed at the end of each wash, but can be used up to 100 times - the equivalent of six months washing.
cool huh?
