There are some types of clothes that need to use hands as the material of clothes are sensitive and it is cleaner, but it require enough pressure to remove the water from the clothes. It takes a lot of energy and time to squeeze a shirt. The aim of this project is to design and fabricate a wet clothes’ spinning machine. This machine has been designed in Solidworks and fabricated in real life by using a plastic basket for the clothes to be loaded into, slotted angle bar as a frame, polycarbonate sheets as the body cover, a DC motor that has to spin the basket, and a power adaptor as a supply to convert AC (alternating current) to DC (direct current) to become a prototype. This semi-automated machine is powered by an ac-to-dc adaptor. This machine is benefit to college students because it has wheels for move everywhere
