How Crystal Wash 2.0 Is Revolutionizing Laundry: Cheap, Eco-Friendly, and Easy-to-Use

By
Laundry devices may be one of the last things you expect to find on Kickstarter, but one project has been wildly successful, for good reason. The Crystal Wash 2.0 Kickstarter met its goal in less than half the allotted time by proposing an easy-to-use, money-saving, eco-friendly alternative to traditional laundry detergent.

Crystal Wash completely eliminates the need for laundry detergent by using bioceramics – all natural materials that control the pH level of laundry water, raising the balance in order to let stains and dirt to soak free of clothing naturally. The process has been proven to work as well as laundry detergent, effectively disinfects and removes bacteria from your laundry and, most importantly, is easy-to-use, eco-friendly, and cheap.
Crystal Wash can save you an estimated $250 for every 1000 washes (1000 washes amounts to approximately 40 jugs of laundry detergent and just one $50 Crystal Wash ball). The reusable bioceramics also make it so you don’t have to wash harmful detergent chemicals down the drain every time you do your wash. The natural bioceramics are one of the most-loved features of the product – praised by customers with young children, for example, who don’t want to wash children’s clothing with harsh detergent chemicals that can be irritating to the skin and leave clothes smelling like artificial perfumes.

 Crystal Wash does need to be recharged every 30 or so washes, but even that’s eco-friendly. Just leave the ball out in the sunlight for a couple of hours to re-stabilize the pH levels of the minerals inside and Crystal Wash is ready for use again.

After the success of the first edition of Crystal Wash, the company behind the campaign has made plans to improve on the original and launched a Kickstarter for Crystal Wash 2.0. Almost 4,000 backers raised over $250,000 in under a month, more than doubling the initial goal of $100,000.
The new iteration of the device makes it connected and Internet-friendly: Crystal Wash 2.0 will be equipped with a Bluetooth micro-controller that connects to a smartphone app available for both iPhone and Android. The app will notify you when Crystal Wash needs to be recharged and lets you monitor the state of your laundry, along with showing some handy graphs and statistics on wash cycles and your cumulative savings.

 The app can also send a notification when your laundry’s done, making the process of chores a whole lot easier. No need to buy and pour detergent or even try to remember when your laundry’s done – just throw the Crystal Wash ball into your washing machine and relax… let the technology do the rest.

Silent headset lets users quietly commune with computers

By
Advances in voice recognition technology have seen it become a more viable form of computer interface, but it's not necessarily a quieter one. To prevent the click-clacking of keyboards being replaced by noisy man-machine conversations, MIT researchers are developing a new system called AlterEgo that allows people to talk to computers without speaking and listen to them without using their ears. At first glance, the AlterEgo headpiece looks like the product of a design student who didn't pay attention in class. Instead of the familiar combination of an earpiece and microphone, the device is a cumbersome white plastic curve like the jawbone of some strange animal that hangs off the wearer's ear and arcs over to touch the chin. It might look strange, but it's based on some fairly sophisticated technology. Inside the Alterego are electrodes that scan the jaw and face from neuromuscular signals produced when the wearer thinks about verbalizing words without...

Water purification: Running fuel cells on bacteria to purify water

By
Researchers in Norway have succeeded in getting bacteria to power a fuel cell. The "fuel" used is wastewater, and the products of the process are purified water droplets and electricity. This is an environmentally-friendly process for the purification of water derived from industrial processes and suchlike. It also generates small amounts of electricity -- in practice enough to drive a small fan, a sensor or a light-emitting diode. In the future, the researchers hope to scale up this energy generation to enable the same energy to be used to power the water purification process , which commonly consists of many stages, often involving mechanical and energy-demanding decontamination steps at its outset. Nature's own generator The biological fuel cell is powered by entirely natural processes -- with the help of living microorganisms. "In simple terms, this type of fuel cell works because the bacteria consume the waste materials found in the water," explains SINTEF...

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

By
Small Intro About Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a new play by Jack Thorne. It is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage. It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children. While Harry grapples with the past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is one play presented in two Parts, which are intended to be seen in order on the same day (matinee and evening) or on two consecutive evenings. ...
