Amazing self-cleaning invention that replaces sink, faucet, soap dispenser and hand dryer all in one, has been just launched on Kickstarter. This gadget may fix one of the worst things about using public bathrooms. In addition to waiting on long lines, one of the worst things about public bathrooms is having to use the same sink faucets and hand dryers that dozens before you have touched. Robo-Washer Revolution cleans and dries hands, then recycles its water after each use.
The Robo-Washer is essentially like a car wash for your hands. It sprays 360-degree jets of high-pressure water at your hands followed by a blast of air to dry them off, meaning you won’t have to touch a single faucet or sink to wash and dry your hands. Donald Vitez, the inventor behind the Robo-Washer, is also pushing the device as a means of conserving water. He claims that the device only pumps out the amount of water necessary to wash your hands. The washer looks just like a silver bowl placed on top of a giant wooden crate with clean water and soap reservoirs attached to the back. Since the gadget is designed to keep all the water inside the Robo-Washer, there’s no run-off that could cause the floor or surrounding areas to get wet.
The first iteration of the Robo-Washer appeared as a tall wooden crate with a stainless steel doggy bowl-shaped opening on top. Placing your hands in the bowl and rubbing them together saw them sprayed with high pressure soap water from all angles, before it then continued onto the drying cycle. The first version used around one cup of water per use, which was then drained after use.
Boldly named the Robo-Washer Revolution, the new and improved machine features a much more refined design, with a uniform stainless steel body from top to bottom. But that’s not the most impressive upgrade. It does away with soap entirely and washes hands using a cup of antibacterial water instead. After each use, the unit filters and disinfects this very same water for the next set of dirty hands to be cleansed in, resulting in hospital-grade hygiene. Thus this company’s noble quest has shifted from offering a convenient and contact-free way to prepare your hands for post-bathroom use, to addressing water wastage.
Vitez claims that a conventional sink uses at least 17 gallons (65 l) dribble down its drain each day . He hopes that the recycling technology inside the Robo-Wash Revolution will find applications in dishwashers, washing machines, showers and drinking fountains and be useful in saving water.
