I recall seeing elsewhere (I think the solarpunk subreddit?) a few years ago that someone made a non-electric washing machine using a bicycle. Are there any tutorials anywhere someone could recommend me? I’d love to try and make one someday.

Note: I'm new to Lemmy and mistakenly posted this under "meta." Still getting used to communities and figuring out the cross-posting thing!

I came here for the post about fog, but stayed for bikepower rabbit hole 👌

This looks like one you can make from an old washer and an old bike: https://permies.com/t/90723/Pedal-powered-washing-machine
