- Waterless Washing Machine – Laundry Orb
New inventions have made strainful works
always easier for people. Let us take an example of a washing machine.
In early days, people used to wash their own clothes by hand and scrub
all the dirt away using a brush and detergent. Later, the washing
machine was invented, which simplified laundry cleaning. The device was
further developed to produce semi-cleaners and lately fully automatic
washing machines.
A new concept has been introduced by a a designer named Elie Ahovi, which works under the principle of magnetic levitation.
The device, named as “Laundry Orb”
consists of a spherical drum that cleans clothes by scrubbing them using
dry ice, instead f water. The spherical drum is basically a ring filled
with batteries. These batteries produces magnetic levitation inside the
ring. To levitate, a super-conductive metal laundry basket is
introduced inside. A low temperature is required inside the ring. This
is produced by using liquid nitrogen. A double layered shatterproof
glass is also introduced inside. Thus, the whole drum levitates as soon
as a magnetic field is produced. The whole process is controlled using a
touch screen interface.
The dry ice is introduced inside the
ring at supersonic speeds. As soon as it hits the dirty clothes, the
carbon dioxide interacts with the dirt and separates them from the
clothes. The dirt is then collected and filtered out through small
pores. The carbon dioxide is then removed and re-frozen. Thus, the
clothes are cleaned and dry.
The cleaning process will take only a
few minutes. Since no water and soap is used, the clothes are prone to
look new without any wear ad tear. The environment can also be protected
to a certain extent by saving soap. Besides, we can use the surplus
carbon dioxide for something useful.
Though the whole concept sounds
interesting, there are certain cons. The removing of carbon dioxide and
refreezing it requires a lot of energy.
