Students at the Dalian Nationalities University in China have designed a bike washing machine that will wash your clothes while you pedal. The invention is aptly called "Bike Washing Machine" or "BiWa," and it aims to "bring health and convenience to our life" by combining a stationary bike and a washing machine. 大连民族大学的学生们设计了一款自行车洗衣机，能让人边运动边洗衣服。这个发明被叫做自行车洗衣机或者简称为BiWa，其目的是通过将固定自行车和洗衣机的结合使我们的生活更加健康和便捷。 According to a description on Tuvie provided by the students who designed the bike, the way it works is quite simple: "When you ride this bike, the pedaling motion causes the drum of the washing machine to rotate; at the same time, superfluous electricity is generated which can be used to power the display screen or [be] stored for future use." 设计这款自行车洗衣机的学生在Tuvie网站的描述中，介绍了其并不复杂的工作原理：“当你在骑这款自行车的时候，踏板的运动使下方洗衣机的滚筒发生旋转，同时产生的多余电力还能给显示屏供电，或者储存起来以后备用。” Considering the small size of the washing machine, it would undoubtedly take multiple spin cycles to complete your laundry. Much like the Drumi, a pint-sized washing machine that can fit almost anywhere, both inventions will probably not completely replace a laundry machine or a trip to the laundromat. |
