- This is a really awesome washing machine, can be easily made at home. It is a good machine for all students who live in hostels to wash their shirts and socks. Enjoy!
Just a suggestion. Get 5 or 10 one inch rubber bouncy balls. To the inside edges of the washing bucket, glue a half of a rubber ball, the kind you get a toy stores, on various places to create a washboard effect as the clothes are circling around the bucket. This will create the agitation needed to knock the dirt out and push the soap and water through the clothing.
Also, for a drain, drill a slightly smaller hole than 1" approximately 1/2" from the bottom of the top bucket. Insert a male threaded pvc pipe into the hole from the outside. Place a washer onto the threaded end from the inside and use a pvc nut to secure the pipe to the bucket. Use a pvc cap to prevent the water from leaking out while using the washer and remove when emptying. If you want to make the pipe longer, you can either add more pvc pipe or add a hose to the end to run to a drain.

Ti Phillips your talent his talent you start a business together I buy
Invertor technology what is?
Beautiful suggestions sir very beautiful
All third world country homes now can have this III world washing machine! Very nice .
Yar bohat khoob maza aa gaya dekh kar
+Fakhir Ibrar thnx
You can make an H-bridge out of power transistors and diodes, to alternate the direction of current, the motor then rotates back and forth and it pretty much resemble the commercial washing machine. Great vid though!
+Panos Chao thnx
This is absolutely brilliant on DIY standard and first time attempt, lots of feedbacks are being poured by youtubers for may be improvement they want to see on next iterattion. let me add mine too, well i think the washing cycle will be more effective if it has some contours on the sides of upper bucket may be you could do this with the aid of some sort of heating element. Good job anyway!
+Knight Rider thank you so much!
The advantage in these kind of Bucket washing machines is they will consume less water. And nice to use for washing baby clothes. 👌
3:45 WOW! Mayonnaise!!!
Just kidding. 😆😆😆😆
I remember watching this when I was very young thanks for my childhood
Washing machine from bucket. Is it practically possible with 12 v battery. Technical idea is worth praise.
That is a great whirlpool maker.
This is a great project, but I am unable to find an appropriate sized pulsator. All I can find are over 12" diameter which does not fit the common 5 Gallon bucket. I believe that pulsators sold separately are much more common in India, which unfortunately does not export most items like this to the West.
like the build and i want to do it but how hard would it be to add two way agitation , auto fill, rinse, and drain? and what music did you use in this video?
Wow excellent 👍👍👍
can you build a mini-dischwacher??? I want to create one, and I have some ideas about it, but 2 heads is better than one, especially when 1 of this 2 is yours! Shall we think together about it?
Vary nice work
How about adding 3 fins on the sides the a better wash? I have a GE front loader that uses 3 fins. Even my grandkids dirty football uniforms come out clean everytime.
should have only put the glue on the smallest circular piece of wood. The way you did it glue bonked out where it didn't belong. Also it's a DC motor, so you could have set it up to reverse directions between cycles for more agitation.
Good point. So there should be a locking pin.

Also is it possible to replace the buckets with a plastic gallon drump to add more clothes?
YOU ARE A TRUE GENIUS KEEP IT UP
+hamza burhan thnx dear!
your most welcome
keep it up and keep on may GOD bless u

This would probably clean better if it reversed direction every 20 seconds or so - better agitation.
Wow very nice
for some reason this is so satisfying.......
It's really cool, but can that clean at least 1 heavy large blanket ?
Aww, well done I love it! :) cheers!
+Leslie Lucero thanks!
+Easy HomeMade Projects you're very welcome.

what is the power of dc motor i mean can it swing one or say 3 denim pents and from the look of it, it appears to be very fragile and susceptible to leaking washing a handkerchief, socks or under garments is not privy to that much trouble
There is a reason washing machine agitators change direction. It's so the water pushes through the clothes. If the water and clothes are spinning in the same direction its gonna be very inefficient. Surely this could be done electronically. Close but no cigar on this design. It would also be quite easy to have a basket that attaches to the agitator to spin clothes or just a lock to make the motor spin the whole bucket and a plug in the bottom. Nice first try though. Keep at it ;)
No want to added
Not basic enough in my opinion. The base & agitator needs to be more homemade. Great video.
good proyect, thanks. why doesn't the water go through the bottom?, I did not see any gaskets or sealers
buckets are made of soft plastic, working as a sealer.
thanks
For mine, i used bigger buckets and I added a drain plug and a even bigger motor which is 28V power and added a PCB Board to make it spin another way around, for agitation I put brushes.
Nice idea
Its a nice idea... but it is still incomplete project as a washing machine, don't get me wrong, its a great project.. really.. right now it is still incomplete as a "washing machine" because the rotation of the motor is only in forward or counter clockwise right? for now its a mixer, but if you find a way to create a control that switches the polarity of your motor then it will become a portable washing machine.. When I was a student, I use to have that same idea, I used the same materials but most of them are scavenged items, back then in order to have a reverse and forward rotation I used toggle switch hehehe electronic component was expensive that time.. its just a suggestion, make a controller module that switches the polarity from the battery then that's it.. Good luck and nice work, keep it up..
+Chinito Gwapito thanks! I can make it same as you said, but it will difficult for people to make it. People are already said that make easy projects. If you want to make dual polarity, just use an H bridge.
put a weight below to hold the system in movement and a transparent lid for the water not to get out and also to see the process. Success ! from Romania
In America those are called a Daiquiri machines.
you're a smart guy I was wondering why didn't you use a mini shipping Barrel the plastic ones and on the other side where the motor and everything is did you use some kind of sealant so the water doesn't go through
He did not seal it. The tightness of the connection on the two plastic buckets keeps the seal. You can seal it if that is your preference. Silicone caulk is a good choice.
Nice project
Great Job
did you not use any seal at all around the axel plate? i mean the water should drip by the bolts and axelhole just fine with just a tiny hole?
3:50 "alright guys I'm going to show you how to properly spread butter on a bagel" 😂
I'm sorry I had to. Great video man
This f'n guy
All is excellent but 12v is not much. What about more power. The same procide adding more power . Amazing job, congratulations
nice where are u located are u mechanicall or electical engineer
Very beautiful and thought more fascinating project and we are waiting to upgrade this project
really super idea bro
excuse me, may i know where u buy all of that materials?
What If you put a little rack in the bottom and put dishes in there ?
Very good project! I´m going to imrpove this with a drain hose, but I really like the original idea.
Amazing💕😍💕😍
Could you please list the parts you used thanks
I know there's seemingly nothing getting agitated but I think he intended for this to be a prototype.
Good job
Very nice
your motor must go clockwise and counterclockwise but your relay connection only shows on and off in one direction/ perhaps you need to change the schematic to allow for the correct rotation?
Nice job
It would be cool to make this in a rectangular tub with two agitators spinning opposing directions. I may do that some day.
Use a relay with a basic Arduino board so you can make the same thing spin opposite after some intervals of time.
The actual use was not shown, but I can predict that it will not work. The end result will be a tangle of clothes as a result of the action working in only one direction. It needs to reverse direction frequently or to churn up and down.
thanks for the video, my grandma needs some washing machine
wonderful idea
PS .. I just saw a review on a portable washer/spinner called the base camp washer. It has the internal basket that attaches to the agitator. It'd be totally worth trying to incorporate this into your design as clothes that havent been spun dry take so much longer to dry. Depending on weather conditions where you are camping this could be a real pain.

NICE IDEA
Impressive... Now let's see a front loading one!
Oh my god awesome 🙆
Nice i like it
you should get a better pulsator so it can better clean the clothes, also you should put electrical tape and protect the battery to prevent fire.
It needs to go back and forth - clockwise then anticlockwise or else you'll end up with a bucket full of really tangled items and they won't clean very well either.
Greate video yr Thenks
Chhote hi dhoyenge or base clothes??
10:45 blender
Que legal! Pena que não entendo de mecânica se não iria fazer uma máquina de lavar igual essa para mim! Parabéns! Você é muito inteligente!
Comment 5
It would be so cool if you can make a front loading washing machine
Where do I get the pulsator from the video?
Very good
very good project!!! 👍
So, what about the rinse cycle and spin cycle to get the excess water out of the clothes?
Where do I get the Moto and parts? Please help
Hey you should connect a colander to the agitator and then you'd have a spin dryer as well
Ebo Chi or just have a built in one for agitate and spin without a problem
nice work, have you had issues with water getting on the wires
+samantha nicholson thnx. No
Easy HomeMade P
Good video, but the design of the washing machine could be improved. If possible, design the circuit to reverse then forward for more agitation and less swirl. Thumbs up!
After thinking about it, this way is probably better than what I had in mind. Good job!
+kedwa30 thnx
just reverse the polarity of the motor :)
or if he uses a squared container so the clothes smash against the walls
What is the water sealer ?
why the water not passing thru the hole between two bucket's?? No rubber seal at all
+Nadeem Ahmed buckets are made of plastic. So they will work as a rubber sealer.
nice jod wel don keep it up
simple at finnest, good job
nice project. but the important part is missing the motor should rotate in both directions clockwise and anti-clockwise.
+Faisal Abdul Ghafoor it will need a complicated electric circuit. I can make it but other people can't.
+Easy HomeMade Projects I guess if u show the schematic of the circuit it will be easy for every one. or better to go for arduino. just an opinion.
+Faisal Abdul Ghafoor ok i will do it in my any next video
Where did you get the pulsator?
May I ask can I use a normal pulsator which is plastic but not steel version that used in video ?
+Lai Yung Kwong of course
It would be nice if you can make the module for the motor can rotate reversely.
How much did the circular saw bit kit cost
+Adeel ShaG 300 rupees
great work
You are a genius! Awesome work! :)
thanks!
@@EasyHomeMadeProjects are you mr silent
Please ap bta skte ho ya kahn se milti hy or price Kya hy
wow u are a genius
Were can I buy the parts to make the washing machine work with battery?
Marvelous
nice but need it moves right left
but I not sure if this will work with DC
you should put the reverse polarity so that it will spin clockwise and counter clockwise.
sir ap batae ge kon si battery achi hai 12 v dry long battery ya leoch battery ?
This is impressive; thank you.
why you must draw the circle,.if have the saw with the same diameter.??
sorry for bad english.
Are you Russian ?
Cost for parts?? and where did you get the parts??
