Students at the Dalian Nationalities University in China have designed a bike washing machine that will wash your clothes while you pedal. The invention is aptly called "Bike Washing Machine" or "BiWa," and it aims to "bring health and convenience to our life" by combining a stationary bike and a washing machine.
大連民族大學(xué)的學(xué)生們設(shè)計(jì)了一款自行車洗衣機(jī)，能讓人邊運(yùn)動(dòng)邊洗衣服。這個(gè)發(fā)明被叫做自行車洗衣機(jī)或者簡稱為BiWa，其目的是通過將固定自行車和洗衣機(jī)的結(jié)合使我們的生活更加健康和便捷。

According to a description on Tuvie provided by the students who designed the bike, the way it works is quite simple: "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."
設(shè)計(jì)這款自行車洗衣機(jī)的學(xué)生在Tuvie網(wǎng)站的描述中，介紹了其并不復(fù)雜的工作原理：“當(dāng)你在騎這款自行車的時(shí)候，踏板的運(yùn)動(dòng)使下方洗衣機(jī)的滾筒發(fā)生旋轉(zhuǎn)，同時(shí)產(chǎn)生的多余電力還能給顯示屏供電，或者儲(chǔ)存起來以后備用?！?/div>

Considering the small size of the washing machine, it would undoubtedly take multiple spin cycles to complete your laundry. Much like the Drumi, a pint-sized washing machine that can fit almost anywhere, both inventions will probably not completely replace a laundry machine or a trip to the laundromat.
因?yàn)檫@款洗衣機(jī)的尺寸相對(duì)較小，所以洗好所有衣服肯定要騎好幾下。這和之前那款外形像個(gè)小電飯煲的洗衣機(jī)Drumi一樣，兩款設(shè)計(jì)可能都無法完全取代洗衣機(jī)或者洗衣店。

The concept isn't new, as other designers have tried their hand at designing similar machines. However, none have made it successfully to market, so it will be interesting to see if the "BiWa" becomes successful. Until then, we'll continue to work around both our laundry spin cycle and our spin class schedule.
自行車洗衣機(jī)的概念并不是最近才出現(xiàn)的，其他設(shè)計(jì)師已經(jīng)嘗試?yán)檬植刻峁﹦?dòng)力的設(shè)計(jì)。但是，以往的設(shè)計(jì)中沒有一個(gè)成功打入市場的，所以BiWa能否成功也還是未知數(shù)。在BiWa進(jìn)入市場之前，我們暫時(shí)還沒法實(shí)現(xiàn)洗衣、騎車兩不誤。
