‘Doing Laundry with Lights’
In year 2020, there will be a global shortage for water. “Dress Manager” is a future-oriented washing machine which operates by static electricity and photoelectric effect of lights.
First, artificially create static electricity on the surface of clothes made by Nano fiber and further charge it negative or positive electrode, and emit light between the range of infrared rays and ultraviolet rays. This enables the electrode around the filth in the laundry to absorb light-energy and move freely.(photoelectric effect) Then, electrodes stick to electric filter with the dirt, and the laundry becomes clean. In this way, static electricity and light only can complete the laundry without water or soap.
“Dress manager” targets people living alone; it diminishes traditionally complex process of laundry and saves both effort and time. It not only repots on the laundry-related information but also suggest daily coordination. The user can place the machine inside the room since water is not needed which adds on to the practicality and the interior beauty.
