In Japan They just presented a new invention, the human washing machineor rather, it was reinvented, because Sanyo Electric co. -now Panasonic Holding Corp.- had already proposed it in 1970 Osaka World Exposition. The successor of ultrasonic bath it will be called original Mirai Ningen Sentakuki (human washing machine of the future) and requires only 15 minutes to complete the washing and drying phases. Its advancement is almost complete.
Imagine sitting with his clothes on inside a futuristic transparent container partially filled with hot water and letting yourself be lulled by the microscopic bubbles which, during washing, massage and relax the body. A series of integrated sensors in the seat measure biological datathe temperature of the water is constantly controlled so that it is indeed effective for cleaning and pleasant for the person immersed.
The original human washing machine with ultrasonic bath from 1970 is shaped like an enclosed tub egg 2 meters high, inside which the person immerses himself to wash his clothes without taking them off using a system of hot water, ultrasonic waves and plastic balls suitable for massaging the person’s body.
In version 2.0 developed by Science Co. a system based on in artificial intelligence which, by analyzing the data collected by the sensors, create the most agreeable atmosphere possible. To make the experience even more pleasant, relaxing images are projected onto the internal surface of the ‘washing machine’.
this is the 15 minute wash cycle
- cycle of the preclear spraying the user with jets of hot water for 5 minutes.
- Immersion in hot water for 3 minutes.
- Activation of high pressure jets with dozens of swollen balls the size of a golf ball which, suspended in water, hits the person’s body, massaging it and stimulating blood circulation.
- Activation of ultrasonic waves to create small air bubbles that remove dirt.
- Cycle rinsing warm for 2 minutes.
- Cycle drying 5 minutes with fresh air.
- A flow of infrared and ultraviolet light destroys germs.
Mirai Ningen Sentakuki was presented at the Osaka Kansai Expo last April. Manufacturer science Co. now plans to display it inside the Osaka Health Pavilion, so visitors can try it out. And unlike its predecessor ultrasonic Bath,which was unsuccessful,It truly seems that the human washing machine of the future is highly desiredat least seeing the number of reservations made to try it on the company’s official website.
Science Co. president Yasuaki Aoyama had seen the original washing machine when his fourth-grade class visited the 1970 Expo and was impressed. And now that he is the head of a company specializing in advanced bathroom solutions, he had no doubts: The ultrasonic bath will return in a 21st century version.
