Maglev Washing Machine is a green orb of cleanliness
Designed by Jakub Lekes, the ‘Maglev Washing Machine’ is a radical washing machine devised to improve the effectiveness of washing process while reducing the consumption of water and washing powder. Replacing the cylindrical drum, revolving about single axis, of current washing machines with the spherical drum capable of rotating around different axis, the Maglev Washing Machine enhances the washing process in a great way, thanks to the magnetic levitation. Functioning like a Maglev train, the washing machine makes use of rails with electromagnets. For the drum integrates three rings, as a part of the body, to create a magnetic field and induct electric current in the reels of rings on the drum. The washing machine also creates whirling magnetic field which spins magnets on the drum.
There are many electromagnets which are put on a surface of the drum. These electromagnets are divided into two groups. One group of electromagnets caters to levitation in magnetic field which is created by electromagnets located in the body of washing machine. The second group of electromagnets makes a movement of drum in the magnetic field and its rotation around all directions. There is no contact between the drum and body of machine, which means there is tremendous reduction in sound.
To emphasize on the drum’s function and its rotation motion, the designer used transparency sphere as major object that’s standing on three legs. There are a source of magnetic field and also a water pump in the bowl under a drum. In front part under the display is inbuilt a cartridge chamber of washing powder. User only sometimes fills it up by a slot under a display. Opening of washing machine is possible by pressing the top transparent cover.
