  • This is a USB powered washing machine for doing your laundry. Ah, but wait.... Can a USB power supply really deliver enough power to do that?
    No. But it does put on a show and it would certainly swirl some lightweight items like socks or sexy panties around in a bucket or sink. However the load capacity of 10kg stated on some listings is highly improbable.
    The "ultrasonic" cleaning function is notable for using a vibrator motor and being completely not ultrasonic.
    The circuitry is fine. In fact it's pleasingly minimalist to the point that reverse engineering it was fun due to the wide variety of transistors matched to each motor and the way the circuitry was optimised to use the 6 I/O pins of a cheap processor.
    If you really want one of these short lived panty whirlers then there's a search link below. Note that some seem to have wisely removed the air function and just have a simple cable going to the agitator. Hopefully that will make them more water resistant.

    I bought one of these months ago, thinking it would be really neat. As you're well aware, they are 0% waterproof, and when I took mine to bits after the motor stopped spinning, it was FULL of rust. Salvaged the cute little air pump, though! P.S. when stuck on the side of the sink, the "ultrasonic" feature very slightly reverberates through the entire building. All in all, got about 2 uses out of the thing. Great product, A+.

      Anonymous user, I tried wearing a pair of those ball-itary confinement fabrics people consider underwear because I was lazy and didn’t want to do laundry. I legitimately don’t understand how anyone could possibly enjoy or tolerate having their frank and berries Saran wrapped to their grundle for hours on end.
      Digression aside, I’d say the predominant reason why most non-masochists don’t go commando is practicality. I’ll wear a pair of shorts a couple of times on average before they need washing, but that would not be the case without boxers.

    That rotating function reminds me of ye olde Upo pulsator washing machines from the 50's. It was basically a stainless steel tub and a hinged lid, with a belt-driven propeller on the inside wall. It would just make the laundry spin around with the water. You had to pour the warm water in yourself and washing time was set with a mechanical timer up to 90 minutes. When time was up it simply cut the power to the motor that drove the propeller. Draining it you pulled a plug from the bottom and the water flowed out of a nozzle on the side.

      You never rely on the reel or labeling, but rather measure a few SMD passives instead. I've heard of at least one case of mislabeled inductors which caused a whole batch of finished modules to be scrapped; they were RF devices as well so they merely worked crappily and the problem wasn't detected until they were installed in a car on the assembly line. Relying on any sort of labeling simply shifts the screwup point from loading the pick and place machine to loading the printing machine at the passives factory.

    I remember my mother using a twin tub --- borrowed, because our real washing machine had failed. I was actually rather impressed. Very simple, but also extremely effective. You put the dirty clothes into the agitator, stir them around until they're cleaned, then move them to the other tub and hose them down until they're rinsed; then you spin dry them. While working on the rinse, you have the next batch in the agitator. Compared to a modern washing machine they're incredibly fast; only a few minutes per load. But they do require manual operation. I can totally see that they still have a niche, and a brief search online shows lots of new ones for sale...

    Oh lord this reminded me of when I was an 18 year old lad forced to live in Grandmas with her twin tub. Thursday night got all my black heavy metal clothes washed in the twin tub, hung on the line in summer or all over the living room in winter. Come Friday and Saturday night with my freshly washed pirated Iron Maiden & Metallica T-shirts (that smelled of screen printed Dulux paint), every time I was caught by the blacklight behind the bar in the clubs I was lit up like a Xmas tree of all the sparkling "better than white!" that was in those big box powders and could'nt be rinsed out. At least using my twin tub, cold water hose from tap, and a stick method. Destroyed many clothes too.
    I also remember the manual mangle from the '70s my mum used instead of a spin drier. Naturally I got my finger caught in it as an infant, just like I did with the hot iron I was warned not to and the electric sockets too. My mum laughs to this day that when I was told not to do something, I would eventually do it, get a minor injury and then absolutely not cry because I knew wrong from right.

    Bubbles of soap increase the surface area and trap oils and grease. I suspect that is the point of the bubbles, to trap and remove the skin oils from the laundry and float them in suspension until the cloth is removed and rinsed.

    • @Mr.ToadJanfu
      @Mr.ToadJanfu 4 роки тому +22

      You don't really need visible bubbles of soap to do this. The whole reason we use soap to clean is because soap naturally forms bubbles(micelles) that trap oils and dirt inside,. in addition to the lipid nature of soap interfering with the lipid bilayer bacteria cells use to contain their contents of course.

      @@skipfred The oil, which is lighter than water, gets trapped and suspended by the surface tension of water. The bubbles of soap reduce the surface tension of the surrounding water. A soap bubble gives the oil a large surface to spread onto and a free ride to the top by lowering the 'friction' of the water and being filled with air trying to rise. The surface area is measurably larger on the bumpy bubbles than the flat water surface, the same way a sphere has more surface area than a circle. Here is a general primer on soap bubbles. hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/surten2.html
      You have now seen serious evidence in one way over all the others. Whether pumping air into the water is any more useful than just agitating it, I have no idea, but it's the same goal. Get the oil floating on top of the water instead of stuck in the clothes.

I could do one pair of slacks, OR one pair of jeans, OR one large towel as well. It actually seemed to clean clothing better than a full size washer, just very, very, very small loads. As my living situation didn't allow for a full size washed and dryer, it was nice to have in a pinch so I wasn't entirely dependent on the local laundromat.

    This video was uploaded on the same day that I'd been wondering how to automate the agitation of water in a bucket for washing rags and cleaning cloths. I was wondering about putting a bent metal stick in the chuck of an old battery drill.
    I bought one of these instead, the cheaper one without the water bubbler or remote. It's just got the USB plug on. It vibrates, rotates one way for a bit, stops, the rotates the other way. This repeats ad infinitum. Or until your usb battery pack dies.
    And I have to say, I'm impressed with it. If you put too many cleaning cloths in the bucket, it struggles to do much. With 4 or 5, they tumbled rather nicely.
    So, thanks for the review, and in certain circumstances, I can actually recommend it!
