C.mile
a manual washing machine designed for long haul truck drivers
The project is inspired by the difficulties experienced by truck drivers in Iran, who are often away from home from days at a time and must wash their clothes in rivers or other bodies of water. This practice is both inconvenient and polluting. C.Mile provides a solution by repurposing the central hub of the truck's wheel, replacing this typically empty space with a washtub. The motion of the truck activates the tub's paddles, providing the agitation needed to launder even severely soiled clothes.
