Design Affairs' mobile washing machine concept for developing countries
We're digging Design Affairs' Swirl concept, which is similar to Project H's Hippo Roller except that rather than transporting water, the Swirl's job is to clean clothes. After filling the rubbery sphere with water and detergent, the user rolls the thing around via a handle, using perambulation to provide the spin cycle.
And for the football-inclined, you can even get in a little joga bonito.

And on that point; brilliant!
A energy efficient washingmachine uses 100 liters of water to rinse a handfull of clothes.. a 100 kg+ "ball" is certainly not for my kids to play with.. ;-)
My tumblr comment:
"The moment I saw this, it morphed into a fusion concept in my mind with a baby stroller for green customers concerned about sustainability. All of the suburban moms, dads, & childcare pro’s who walk the baby/babies every day for exercise, socializing, etc. are a ready-made market. Three-wheel strollers are already pretty common. Imagine taking the baby & their clothes for a walk/wash. When they get home, they could put the wash in the dryer or for the hard-core hang-up on clothing lines."
