As a DIY fixerupper who has had a fair share of repairing all sorts of household appliances, I truly do like the simplicity of washing machines. It is good to be able to reduce its bare function down to something that can be manually operated. I anticipated a gearing system for these reasons which the article kindly mentions. I haven’t seen the insides, I would probably incorporate some sort of a heating element but given power requirements it probably would not be hand driven at that point. Maybe im wrong and they have one? I do enjoy the sturdy construction and repairability of this. I suppose it’s too on the nose but I think the bigger story here is just how big of a task it is to run, and maintain, electricity and current required for everyday life. It is a big barrier.
