Garments and clothes are washed by hands or by using powered laundry washing machines. Washing machines are one of the most useful devices in households as well as some commercial industries and hospitals. Over the years, this has been either a very strenuous and time-consuming or an expensive method. A washing machine is basically a machine designed to wash or clean laundries such as towels, clothing, and sheets. Generally, washing machines are powered by electrical energy. This washing machine project aims to design and fabricate a washing machine which uses human energy instead. Mechanical energy is transmitted to the clothes load by the rotation of the agitator or by the whirling action of the drum. In this pedal powered washing machine project, the rotation of the drum or agitator is caused by the rotation motion of the pedals. Pedal power involves transferring power from a human source by means of foot pedals and a crank system.
