A Gasoline Powered Dryer?

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

I have heard of gasoline powered wringer washers. My aunt who lived on a farm in CT had one. But never a dryer. The Amish have Maytag wringers and Singer sewing machines that are run by air compressors also.

IIRC the Amish object to wires.

Someone here correct me, but I think Revelations speaks of
"The world being tied together with strings"

Some Amish will even use a black-colored car that is not flashy.

Air compressors and air hoses with a gasoline engine would probably work for yes.
 
I've seen gasoline-powered dryers. You start them like a mower or snowblower. The TOL models have an electric ignition. They have to be exhausted out a window and of course they're quite loud....

What? Oh, OK.

Gotta go, kids. Nurse Ratchet says it's time for my meds. Bye!
 
But a gas engine has wires and it generates electricity to fire the spark plug. BUSTED!

We've been spending all our lives living in an Amish paradise.
 
The air compressors are run by propane or gasoline engines. The amish are not allowed to have anything connected to the ouside world, no phone lines, city water, or electric lines. They can uses propane. I have seen a few have gasoline farm machinery but not many. They do use propane gas ranges & refrigerators. We have been on a few tours of their homes and farms.
 
Some Amish have even gone high tech by producing their own off-grid electricity with solar panels and / or wind turbines, batteries and inverters! For efficiency, they use compact flourescent bulbs!
 
Given that the location is Lilburn someone just knew that when you put gas in the car it was gasoline, because the only other type of gas is the embarrassing kind and you couldn't dry clothes with that. Fer one thing, they'd smell funny.
 
Dropping the kids off at the pool.......

LOL.
Dont laugh.

In one of my apartments the "dryer" was the shower curtain rod and plastic hangers.

Someone had a powerful purge in there, and I had to re-wash the clothes.

Funny now, not funny then.

*LOL ROFL LMAO*
