Innovative washing machine without electricity

The "green" washing machine could revolutionize households in the near future.

Although science and technology have developed strongly in recent years and the quality of life in general has increased significantly, many places in the world still face basic daily difficulties.

A concrete example is washing and drying clothes. Using automatic washing machines instead of manual labor is still a luxury in places where there is not an abundant water source or a strong enough electricity source to run them.

GiraDora models also come in a variety of color options.

Washing clothes seems simple, but in fact it is a problem in many disadvantaged areas of the world.

In arid towns and villages far from water sources, laundry is indeed considered a time-consuming and laborious process, not to mention its long-term harmful effects on workers' health.

This strenuous work is responsible for a host of ailments such as tendonitis, chronic back pain, painful and dermatological problems in the hands, and especially asthma.

Because of the distance from clean water sources, each time people do laundry, they have to spend hours just to transport enough water for use. And according to research by a pair of students from Los Angeles, USA, along with related organizations, people in the town of Lima, Peru, with a population of up to 30,000, wash clothes on average 3 to 5 times a week.

A single wash can take up to six hours. Including water, hand washing, spinning and drying. So Alex Cabunoc and Ji A You, the researchers behind the research, invented GiraDora, a washing machine that uses no external power source and uses only one-third the water of traditional hand washing.

GiraDora is a solution to support disadvantaged families.

Each wash with GiraDora only takes 3 to 5 minutes. GiraDora also has a built-in spin function. According to Mr. Cabunac: “People today spend too much time, energy and resources on the most basic and essential things in life. Cooking and washing now take up too much precious time, time that could be used for productive work to free themselves from poverty.”

The success and usefulness of the GiraDora inspired many new versions, including the Up-Stream, which costs just $4.

The success and future of “mechanical washing machines”

The Drumi is an “urbanized” version, aimed at more affluent families. It costs $180 and is available for pre-order now. The manufacturer will start shipping the Drumi to homes in November 2016.

The price of a GiraDora is 40 USD (about 1 million VND) and is aimed at families with incomes of 4 to 10 USD a day. Currently, the team is still experimenting with new models and researching demand in many regions of the world such as Africa, South America and India. Therefore, GiraDora is not officially sold to ordinary buyers.

BMW has not yet been released, but promises to be a useful device for those looking for motivation to exercise.

If you are not in the above difficult target group, you will have options for the general audience such as Drumi, BiWa and BWM.

BiWa is still in development and is probably aimed at those who want to save time the most, as it can help users exercise, do laundry and go to work all at the same time.

How to use and structure of GiraDora

The structure of GiraDora is quite simple:

Usage is equally simple:

In addition to investment and charity grants, GiraDora and many other small inventions have actually made life a little easier for the people.
