Whenever we talk about washing machines, the first thing that strikes us is the amount of water that goes into its belly to pull out the magic trick. No doubt we can’t afford to try living without this quintessential domestic help, but the amount of water that it demands is clearly something that can make most of us pause for a while. But very soon we’ll be able to use this machine without having to deal with any guilt related to the amount of water we waste daily on this machines. Professor Stephen Burkinshaw has invented a washing machine dubbed Xeros that will wash a full load of your clothes using just a single cup of water! Yeah, you heard it right. A single cup of water is all that you will need to clean a real huge pile of messy clothes, which otherwise demand an oceanful to cleanse themselves.

Professor Burkinshaw’s magical washing machine uses plastic chips to do the cleaning job. These plastic chips are 0.5 centimetre in size and around 44lb (20kilos) of these go into each load. When the washing cycle commences, the water gets heated up and dissolves the dirt, which is then absorbed by the plastic chips. The plastic chips are re-usable and can be used upto 100 times. So, even if you are a cleanliness freak or a messy player, these should help you with six months of your washing.

Although the machine is still in the designing and testing phase, we should see it in the markets very soon because the potentials of this water-saving wonder has already attracted enough appreciation, and of course, the inventors.
