Foot Powered Washing Machine

for an India student project.
Washing tub is fixed to orange vertical shaft, speed of which is increased thanks to two belt drives.
The video show two working modes:
1. Tub oscillation: red stopper is set at its forwards positon to limit motion of the pedals.
2. Tub rotation: red stopper is set at its backward positon (not to limit motion of the pedals).
Disadvantage: vertical size is large.
