INTRODUCTION
 
• Pedal power washing machine is the transfer of energy from a human source
through the use of a foot pedal and crank system.

• pedal power is used to generate power agricultural and hand tool and even to
generate electricity. Some applications include pedal powered laptops, pedal
powered grinders and pedal powered water wells.

• A pedal-powered washing machine would allow women to wash clothes faster and
with less strain.
 
   NEED
 

• In developing countries approximately 70% of the people are living with

poor economic status in rural areas. so they are unable to purchase costly
devices used in home like washing machine.

• that's why we are decided to make a pedal powered washing machine.

• it's very useful project where the availability of the electricity is less or
shortage.
 FABRICATION OF THE PEDAL POWERED WASHING
MACHINE
 
•  COMPONENTS USED IN THE PROJECT

• SEAT
•  
• Seat is an arrangement in any bicycle on which a person can sit comfortably, in seating
arrangement the design factor is always consider according to their use in any vehicle.
• Seat may be made of plastic, rubber, metal etc. material. In some seating arrangement
suspension is also consider suspension could be spring or it may be cuisine.
   PEDAL ARRANGEMENT
• A pedal is the part of a bicycle that the rider pushes with their foot to propel the
bicycle.
• It provides the connection between the cyclist's foot or shoe and the crank allowing
the leg to turn the bottom bracket spindle and propel the bicycle's wheels.

• Pedals were initially attached to cranks connecting directly to the driven (usually
front) wheel. This is about pedal arrangement.
 
 BEARING
• A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion between moving
parts to only the desired motion.

• The design of the bearing may, for example, provide for free linear movement of the
moving part or for free rotation around a fix axis or, it may prevent a motion by
controlling the vector of normal forces that bear on the moving parts.

• Bearings are classified broadly according to the type of operation, the motions
allowed, or to the directions of the loads (forces) applied to the parts.
 
   CHAIN AND SPROCKET
• When creating your own human powered vehicles, a chain drive will likely be your
chosen power transfer system.
• why because it is an inexpensive, easy-to-install and highly efficient drive
mechanism.

• Bicycle chains are fairly simple, requiring only one inexpensive tool to remove and
attach links.
 
 SHAFT
• Shaft is a mechanical component for transmitting torque and rotation, and also for
joining of two parts.

• Drive shafts are carriers of torque they are subject to torsion and shear stress,
equivalent to the difference between the input torque and the load. They must be
strong enough to bear the stress.

• To allow for variations in the alignment and distance between the driving and driven
components, drive shafts frequently incorporate one or more universal joints, jaw
couplings, or rag joints, and sometimes a splined joint or prismatic joint.
   Horizontal Axis Chamber
• Instead of using an agitator, the horizontal washer utilizes fins along the inner barrel
that lift the clothes on the side of the drum, and let them fall back in the water on
top of other clothes.

• Cycling the clothes through the water in this fashion eliminates the need for rapid
changes in the direction of rotation of the agitator, which results in lower energy
requirements.

• Since the drum is only filled up to one third with water, the machine realizes a
sizeable water economy.
 CYCLE FRAME ARRANGEMENT
 
• A bicycle frame is the main component of a bicycle, on to which wheels and other
components are fitted.

• The modern and most common frame design for an upright bicycle is based on the
safety bicycle, and consists of two triangles, a main triangle and a paired rear
triangle. This is known as the diamond frame.

• Frames are required to be strong, stiff and light, which they do by combining
different materials and shapes.
 
 MANUFACTURING PROCESS USED IN THE
  PROJECT
WELDING
• Cast iron can be welded perfectly well using a stick welder and nickel rods, or with
preheating by a gas welder using cast iron rod.

• Welding cast iron is a precision task that requires high heat, and often expensive
equipment. You should not attempt it on the strength of reading a brief Internet article,
no matter how informative

• Cast iron is typically higher in carbon than steel. This makes the iron brittle, and more
difficult to weld than other industrial metals.
 CUTTING
•Cutting is the process to cut the material in desired length and contours. For cutting of
material the sawing machines are used.

• The handsaw is a machine tool designed to cut material to a desired length or contour.
It functions by drawing a blade containing cutting teeth through the work piece.

•The handsaw are two common types of sawing machines used to cut metal in the
machine shop .The handsaw uses reciprocating (back and forth) cutting action similar to
the one used in a handsaw.
  WORKING PRINCIPLE
• A washing machine is used to wash the clothes. The term is mostly applied only to
machines that use water as opposed to dry cleaning which uses alternative cleaning
fluids to clean the clothes and is performed by washing machine.

• In our project the rotation of drum is possible through wheel rotation .Wheel is
rotated by chain drive. When a person start peddling, the gear connected through
sprocket by chain start to transmit power, the rotation of drum is dependent on man
power.

• This complete process is depend on chain drive. Chain drive is a way of transmitting
mechanical power from one place to another. It is often used to convey power to the
wheels of a vehicle, particularly bicycles and motorcycles.
 PROBLEM STATEMENTS
• Women in society wash clothes manually, but the detergents are chemically harmful to
their hands, and the motion of scrubbing is straining to the muscles.

• Our goal is to design an inexpensive and durable pedal-powered washing machine for
use in rural areas to gently wash clothes.

• The washing machine must be easy to build and maintain locally with local materials,
easy to operate (minimal required steps), and easy to power by women or children. It
must also be more comfortable to use than manual methods and culturally acceptable in
society.
 APPLICATIONS
• It is very useful into the local rural areas
 
• PPWM can be used to wash the clothes.
 
• This whole arrangement will be used as an exercise equipment
 
• Use it at the dark areas where there is no any electricity.
 
• Saving in detergent the water.
 
• Better wash quality, scale free tub
 
• Easy to operate and less effect of chemical on the women hand.
 
 
 PURPOSES,ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES
PURPOSES
 
• Full-scale proof of concept
• Maximize use of bike parts
• Power matching
• Determine manufacturing challenge
 ADVANTAGES
• Affordability
• Easy to Build and Maintain
• Efficiency
DISADVANTAGES
• Need much human effort.
•  It is heavy in weight.
•  Structure is complex.
•  Children can’t use it.
 
 CONCLUSIONS
• The machine must be inexpensive and easy to build if it will be adopted into the
community.

• We recognized this need and designed the machine from the start with low cost in
mind. The machine will only contain parts that are readily available in rural areas.
This eliminates the need to order or import components just for the washing
machine.

• The pedal-powered washing machine is quite different from the community’s

current method of washing clothes; the community may be reluctant to try the new
machine. To help encourage the adoption of the washing machine, we will run
multiple trials with local women so we can adjust the design to meet their needs.

• Our washing machine doesn’t consume electricity. The washing machine can be
used by the urban people also while workout and exercises
  FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
ENERGY STORAGE The energy being wasted during washing can be stored using
flywheel and can be used at the time of spin drying. This would reduce the effort
required during drying and would increase the overall capacity of the machine as
more energy would be available during spin drying.
 
INCREASING CAPACITY
• The capacity of washing can be increased so that more clothes can be washed,
thus utilizing the wasted energy.
• It has a disadvantage that all the clothes would not be rinsed and dried
simultaneously in the same cycle.
• The machine would then no longer complete the entire laundry process in one
cycle

  DESIGNING A MULTIPURPOSE MACHINE The energy wasted during washing can be

utilized in most fruitful way by using it in another household machine which would
work simultaneously as the washing goes on.
