Drumi: A Foot-Powered Washing Machine That Requires No Energy
Designed by YIREGO
Many people around the world rely on hand washing their undergarments and personal items. Also, there are more than one million residents living in high-rise apartments across the GTA that do not have access to private laundry facilities. Because of this, many pressing issues are encountered at the public laundromat such as a lack of personal hygiene, time consumption, lack of mobility, energy costs, and damaged or lost clothing.
As a result, YIREGO created the Drumi, a foot-powered washing machine that requires no energy. It is portable, easy to use, and time efficient. It is a sustainable solution for hand washing personal garments. This washing machine uses 80% less water and detergent as a regular washing machine cycle, and requires a fraction of the time.
