[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 473885, member: 1991"] On the subject of minimal technology, I remember seeing a washing machine invented by a hippy in Nimbin (Australia's answer to Woodstock). It is hooked up to a bicycle, and when the bike is pedalled, it agitates the washing in a plastic rubbish bin. Nimbin is a sub-tropical location so they then hang the washing on the line. The hand-cranked washing machine, I've seen before. I think it was called a "pressa-wash" because pressure builds up inside, like in a pressure cooker. But a consumer magazine reviewed it and said the claims for its performance were a bit exaggerated. it is better than the grape stomp method (where you chuck the washing in the bathtub and throw the kids in after it, ordering them to dance to "Zorba the Greek"). Not as much fun though. Marg [/QUOTE]
