Created washing machine with beads instead of water
How much water do you spend on washing? Probably a lot. For example, the average American family spends 155 liters per wash, and such washings occur about 400 per year. The problem of water consumption is especially acute in regions where there is not much water.
Modern washing machines generally cope well with economical water consumption, but they are far from ideal - still a lot of water and detergents is spent on washing. You can do something to consume less!
Here, for example, the company Xeros Bead Cleaning decided to use something like beads instead of water and detergents. You can find out how this will work in the video below:
In short, 1.3 million (!) beads are poured into the washing machine, which “sucks” dirt from the fabric. They can be used hundreds of times in a row, they are environmentally friendly and can be recycled.
In general, the idea is good, but skeptics mention some conditions without which it will not work. For example, beads should be used hundreds of times. In addition, washing machines should be designed in such a way that the beads will not randomly crumble around your house (remember that 1.3 million beads?). And, of course, the price of this technology should be reasonable.
Now the technology of bead washing is used by Xeros Bead Cleaning in various commercial projects (washing in hotels and dry cleaning). The release of the version for use at home is planned in 2-3 years.
