New Invention Combines Exercise And Cleaning Clothes

So, think you're an expert multi-tasker? Well, then this invention is perfect for you! (And Mother's Day is right around the corner...)

Some smart kids at the Dalian Nationalities University in China have combined a stationary bike and a washing machine. According to the designers, it apparently works like this: "When you ride this bike, the pedaling motion causes the drum of the washing machine to rotate; at the same time, superfluous electricity is generated which can be used to power the display screen or [be] stored for future use."

Now don't go thinking that you can throw a week's worth of dirty clothes in this washing maching because it's a little on the small side. However, if you got some...well...undergarments that need to be washed...then you're in luck! :)

Huffington Post has a picture of the new invention. You can check it out by clicking here.
