The washing machine is capable of washing a full load (up to twenty kilograms) using just one glass of water. The clothes will be really clean, chemists assure, in spite of the virtual “virtual” washing. The secret lies in small plastic chips that can absorb dirt.
If the water temperature is high enough to dissolve the dirt, the chips will absorb the dirt. After that, the chips are removed from their workplace and manually washed under water; they can be used many times – up to a hundred times in total.
In general, this washing machine uses about two percent of both electricity and water. If you think about the massive use of such devices, then the total savings of both water and electricity can amount to tens of millions of liters of the first and countless kilowatt-hours of the second.
Actually, a device of this type will gain popularity immediately after it enters mass production. Let’s hope this happens in the foreseeable future.
