Vortex Laundry
Mar 2020 – Jul 2020

Vortex Laundry is a sustainable, water-powered laundry kit designed to provide an eco-friendly and economical washing solution for communities in Less Economically Developed Countries (LEDCs). The system repurposes universally available plastic containers and utilizes the natural flow of rivers to spin a built-in propeller, creating a strong water vortex that agitates the fabric while integrated ceramic balls act as a natural, non-polluting alternative to synthetic detergent. By operating entirely without electricity or manual labor, the device allows users to save significant time and physical effort while protecting local water sources from severe chemical pollution.
