Just curious, could you build a machine that washed and dried clothes?

Hello,
You most likely could create a machine that washes and dries, but for a science fair, you might want to try building a crude version of a washing machine, that drains, and then a hair dryer comes on, or something like that. It sounds easy if you have the technology. :D

This type of device has been on the market for awhile, but are just now starting to become popular as they can be rather pricey. To find out more how these devices work, check out the following link:

Enjoy.
Hope this helps.
