New Washing Machine Only Uses A Cup Of Water

The process of cleaning usually involves water---lots and lots of water. In the case of washing machines, you usually need several gallons of water to operate them properly. British inventors have found a way to reduce all that liquid down to a single cup, which is quite a feat considering the current amount required.

Instead of water the Xeros machine uses thousands of special plastic chips (about 44 pounds' worth) in each wash, and when that single cup of water is heated, these chips absorb the dirt—including tricky stuff like coffee and lipstick. The chips are removed when the wash ends, and can be reused up to 100 times.

It's still in the early stages for now, but its creators are hoping to bring it to the public next year.
