When browsing through Core77.com I came across a new design called the "Swirl." Its designed to help third world countries wash their clothes. The design is pretty cool and the inspiration to help third world countries is very nice. It was designed by a company called designed affairs. It is round shaped and comes with a cap and handles with are detachable.
How it works: You put the clothes in the swirl, roll it to the water supply and put the water in. then to wash, you can roll it or bounce it. Then take out the clothes to dry and transport the water back to the river. According to designed affairs, this process created a more efficient way of washing and scrubbing the clothes. This design is very cool, but some big issues do arrive if it were manufatured. Such as:
1. After you return to your village, you take out the clothes and they are a soapy mess so you would have to rinse them in the river or hang them to dry without rinsing them.
3. What is the strudyness of the swirl? How long will it last?

2. How much will the swirls cost? People in developing counties will not buy this if they cost a whole day's pay.
