I have racked my brain trying to figure out how to develop a better dishwasher... something capable of cleaning any kind of hardened substance out of every nook and cranny with zero hassle.
Dishwashers, as they are, end up actually taking MORE time than washing by hand... but they do come out extra
clean.
So why not just use disposable dishes? Just not acceptable for the environment. Too wasteful!
What we need is a way to recycle our dishes and cooking utensils in our own kitchen.
Replace that dishwasher with a machine that you toss all your dishes into when done using them. The dishes are made of a substance that breaks down on contact with some type of every day fluid... maybe just water... but after a significant period of time.
Then the food particles and dish material are seperated by the machine and the food waste is purged through your plumbing system.
The machine then "Manufactures" -- "forms" new dishes which harden and ready for use... this process can continue ad infinitum.

Darn you, that was on my to do list
to halfbake based on my clothing
machine. + |

We still need to figure out how to make it really work. :D |

A kiln is a dishmaker. Juat a little prep work, a little trimming, a little decorating, place in kiln, then BAM - dishes! |

The only problem ,Letsbuildafort, is that we need the dishes to be able to "disintegrate" so we can seperate the food from the dish and then recycle the plate material. |

Well, my idea was that only plastic
dishes of a particular plastic could
be used in this way. They would
then be shredded and then
washed in hot water then injection
molded into other dishes with
different patterns printed on to
them. Strips of plastic could be
added into the future to keep your
plate count up if need be. I had
this worked out already. |

I wonder if there would be problems with chemicals with that process? I was thinking of somekind of "clay-like" material that would breakdown after a significant time in water and then could be seperated. But this will be the toughest part. Finding the right material. Also with plastic you would need a lot of heat which would be pricey. |

I'm sorry to sound so negative in christmas eve, but I don't see why this dishmaker machine is in any way better than the already existing dish washing machines. It would also waste water and energy, I'm not sure it would be any faster AND, to some point, the material used to make the dishes would wear off from continuous "re-making". |

Wait a minute, I don't even like dish washing machines. |

Maybe I need to try a new dishwasher or something... but with all the dishawashers I have used you have to wash the dishes and pots before you put them in the machine or they won't come out clean. BTW... this would work for all eating utensils, not just plates. Glass, pots, forks, knives. You name it. |

And the lost material should be minor with this system. You would just need to top it off every now and then. |

Shotgun. Indoor gun/archery range. Jackhammer. I can personally attest to the non-fun qualities of a 200 pound jumping piece of steel. But be creative. |
