Success Beyond Belief

Well, we did it.

We finally washed some clothes last night, Tuesday, April 20th, and it was glorious.

But it taught us that we had a few more finishing touches to do.... Added weight from the water and clothes cause the entire cam system to sag, so we are having new cam support rollers machined today. Our Expansion chamber takes on far too much water, so we'll re-plumb that.
And arguably the worst of all, our press pinches the bag far too much...

So tonight, we worked pretty hard, removing the back plate of the Washer (hopefully for the last time!) and cut off nearly a third of the press paddle, and now it works beautifully. We are very excited to get the clothing and water back in the system, and really measure how well it washes.

We think we've figured out a way to quantify how clean the clothes are, by measuring both the particles of dirt/soilage per given area and the color of the stain, using some kind of digitized color profile. It should be more exciting than it sounds.

The real news tonight is that we have videos!
We've got 3 videos, all showing basically the same thing, but have a look and enjoy. We hope you're as proud of it as we are.

Thanks for your support,
