The English inventor James Dyson and his company Dyson Appliances created a washing machine, the appearance of which does not differ cardinally from that of conventional washing machines. As well as the inside…
The only but basic difference is that the washing machine drum is separated into two parts. The parts rotate in opposite directions. The machine does not shake the cloth but wrinkles it imitating the hand motion on a washboard. As a result, linen is washed much better and twice as fast.
