Fabrication and Analysis of Bicycle Washing Machine

In many developing countries it is not possible to machine wash clothes due to the absence or scarcity of electric power or the absence of machine itself. Washing clothes by hand leaves one breathless and takes an awful amount of time. A washing machine is a machine designed to wash laundry, such as clothing, towels and sheets. Generally these machines have been powered by electrical energy but pedal powered machine runs with our energy. In order to overcome the limitations of conventional washing machine pedal based washing machines are implemented. Bicycle washing machines can be very useful for rural places in developing countries where electricity is out of reach. Moreover, in developed countries too, it can be used to save electricity and getting some work out. In this project fabrication and analysis of pedal based washing machine is done, performance parameters are calculated on the basis of load and weight at different speeds and graphs are drawn.
