Wash clothes in just one cup of water, thanks Eco-friendly Waterless washing machine concept

The washing machine concept that we are going to talk about now will make many many people happy the moment it gets a life. Right from the lady at home when is most of the time sulking for water shortage to the government who keeps shouting loud to pass on the message of ‘saving water’.

works in the washing machine instead of water are thousands of special plastic chips. In every wash the chips get heated as the available one cup of water heats up and absorb the dirt and stains from the clothes. Once the washing is over the chips are removed and they can be reused up to 100 times.

If all goes well you’ll see this washing machine in the market around next year and we are sure it will take the eco-friendly revolution to the next level of innovation.

The latest cell phone designed by Dennis Hopkins, “The Intruder” has a concept which some people can relate to a UFO, actually influences from that field is mentioned on his website to. But without the outer space resembling this cell phones design is pretty much targeted at women.
