Has anyone set up a washing machine?

A silly idea popped into my head the other day. I could build a small sealed cylinder with little ridges inside, put it on a set of bearings and run it from a bicycle. It could use shower and cooler runoff. If a good enough filter could be found, the water could be reused many times.

Has anyone tried anything like this?

I suppose a washboard would be easier, but it doesn't quite have the same coolness factor.

Or how about a sealed cylinder that is mounted on an axle, like a lawn roller, that is pulled behind your bike? Do your wash and see the sights! And make the Playa flatter! regards, Jafe

And what if it hit say, a stray piece of rebar and sprung a leak?

Then you would have a spin dryer also!
