Review On Design and Fabrication of Pedal Powered Washing Machine

Pedal Powered Washing Machine (PPWM) is an inexpensive washing machine made from simple and readily available scrap metal parts from everyday life. It is a machine that generates power in a person’s pedals and, with the help of a drive mechanism, converts the pedal movement into the necessary rotational movement of the drum. Its innovation is a simple design, the use of cheap parts, very low costs of repair and maintenance, affordability for every member of society, and it does not affect the environment. The goal of reducing the initial cost and operating cost of the washing machine is almost achieved within the scope of the works mentioned in the present work. The main goal is to reduce human effort to provide light clothing in rural and dark areas very far from electricity and development.
