Jakub Lekes designed the Maglev Washing Machine with the intention of creating a washing machine that improve the effectiveness of the washing process while reducing the consumption of water and washing powder.
His industrial design creation replaces the cylindrical drum, revolving about single axis rather than rotating around different axis. The magnetci levitation allows the washing process in a great way, like Maglev train, using rails with electromagnets.
There are many electromagnets which are put on a surface of the drum. These electromagnets are divided into two groups. One group of electromagnets caters to levitation in the magnetic field which is created by electromagnets located in the body of washing machine.
The second group of electromagnets makes a movement of drum in the magnetic field and its rotation around all directions. There is no contact between the drum and body of machine, which means there is tremendous reduction in sound. To emphasize on the drum's function and its rotation motion, the designer used transparency sphere as major object that's standing on three legs.
There is a source of magnetic field and also a water pump in the bowl under a drum. In front part under the display is inbuilt a cartridge chamber of washing powder. User only sometimes fill it up by a slot under a display. Opening of washing machine is possible by pressing the top transparent cover.
