Pedal powered washing machines
Sick of singing your body electric? How about using that bod to pedal wash your clothes? Healthy for the planet and healthy for you, and especially for those (like me) who a prolonged use of this method might help them go down a couple of waist sizes. Sadly, the various offerings all seem to be in prototype - with the exception of some hand powered ones covered in this previous post.

Here is another model, invented by Bart Orlando, that also shows promise.
