Her mother fell ill and her father had to spend his time caring for her mother. As a result, she had to do most of the housework, including washing clothes. She didn’t have any brothers or sisters to help her. So she had to do everything by herself. What was worse, because of these, her family was very poor. They couldn’t afford an electric washing machine. Instead, she had to do the washing all by hand in the local river, and then carefully carry everything back to her home—a task that took several hours. Interested in engineering, Amy wanted to make a washing machine which could be used without electricity. She started studying electric washers to learn how they worked. Amy then designed a machine with bicycle pedals (踏板) and chain. To get those, she went to a local shop. Luckily, the workers there were very kind. They gave her the parts. When she met problems in making the machine, they also helped her work out them. Here’s how the machine works: Amy used a cylinder (圆筒) to hold the clothes and put it in a cube (立方体). Next, she connected the bicycle pedals and the chain to the cylinder. As Amy pushed the pedals with her legs, the cylinder cleaned the clothes just like a regular washing machine. Amy’s invention worked! She had created her own human-powered washing machine and now a task that used to take several hours took only 30 minutes. The poor could use the washing machine even if they couldn’t afford electricity. Amy’s washing machine was chosen as India’s best invention! And the story of this young woman’s creative invention spread around the world. “Amy’s invention saves time and money for the world’s poor people,” said Jeanine Thomas of the Borden Project, “she made a difference.”29.

Solar power is now as cheap as some fossil fuels. It makes 8% of the electricity we use. Biomass (生物质能)Biomass is energy that we get from plants around us. For example, deadwood or grass is burned in power stations. This makes electricity. Biomass is green energy because we plant new trees or crops after we use them.
