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.

The encased iPhone can also be recharg...

Nanogenerator that harnesses energy from tires friction

By
Engineers from the  University of Wisconsin-Madison  along with a collaborator from China have created a new nanogenerator that harnesses energy from the friction caused by rolling tires. Xudong Wang has developed a new way to harvest energy from rolling tires (Credit: The College of Engineering) As a novel energy reusing method, the nanogenerator could be potentially used by auto-mobile manufacturers to improve the efficiency of their vehicles. The first of its kind, nanogenerator was published in the Nano Energy journal. The research was carried out by Xudong Wang, the Harvey D. Spangler fellow and an associate professor of materials science and engineering at UW-Madison, and his PhD student Yanchao Mao for about one year. Based on the triboelectric effect, the nanogenerator can harness energy resulting from the electric potential created between a vehicle's wheels and the pavement. The triboelectric effect is the electric charge generated due to the rubbing...

DoubleBack adds a sliding pod to VW's Transporter van

By
It was over thirty years ago that Volkswagen first started offering "pop tops" on its camper vans. In the years since, the soft-sided interior height-extenders have become a common sight on VW vans parked in campgrounds all over the world. Now, Welsh company Overlander Motorhomes is offering what it sees as the logical compliment to the pop top - it's the DoubleBack, a sliding insulated pod that extends the interior length of Volkwagen's T5 Transporter van.    The company starts with a stock 2.0TDI 140PS Long Wheelbase T5 van, then adds its patented DoubleBack pod package. When on the road, the pod stays tucked up inside the back of the vehicle. Once the driver stops and decides they'd like to settle down someplace, however, it electrically extends out of the rear in under 45 seconds, adding approximately two meters (6.5 feet) of useable interior space. Two legs also fold out from the bottom of the pod, which allow it to support up 600 kilograms (1,323 l...
