New washing machine uses just one cup of water!

EASY.

I asked my 6 year old nephew and he said by spraying the water, so you get a fine mist, like out of the nozzle of a spray bottle.

It doesn't show that in the 'diagram'. It just shows water dropping from the soap dispenser into the drum.

100 times, the equivalent of six months’ washing.

Well, that figure is 20% out in my household, but all the same.

this is just going to end up with tiny plastic balls going all over the floor everytime you take your washing out of the machine... nice idea, but I can't really see it catching on for that reason alone.

What happens when the chips wear out - can you just use oven chips instead? I don't really want to walk around stinking of chips but if it's good for the environment I don't care. Do you still need water if you use oven chips? They'll probably get a bit soggy. Could you use vinegar instead? Can you still eat them afterwards? I'm in two minds about this.

Aye, but I was just answering your question of 'how'

 

[WouldBe]

A cup of water probably wouldn't dissolve the detergent either.

I get enough soap powder marks on clothes anyway and that's with using the conventional x gallons of water.

 

[Herbsman.]

Too much powder.

Use less powder, or use liquid.

 

[Hi-ASL]

I don't think it uses detergent. It uses chips. Of any kind.

Is there a shortage of water in places where people could afford these things?

See step 3 of the diagram.

 

[Hi-ASL]

Oh right, yes. My error. Carry on..

I still reckon this is better and doesn't mean you have to buy some proprietary money making stuff regularly - http://www.urban75.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=248880

A bigger version would be even better
