Rocket assisted washing line


This washing line uses a rocket to dry your clothes. It's perfectly simple - attach one end of the line to the rocket and the other end to nothing. Coach-bolt your clothes to the washing line, light the blue touch paper, stand back and watch the rocket shoot skywards at hypersonic speeds. The combination of hot rocket exhaust, supersonic airflow and sub-orbital vacuum will dry your clothes faster and more efficiently than any tumble drier I ever saw.

how about making it in the shape of a boomarang so when dry, it returns to whence it as set off.

The problem is that if you stick a rocket on a boomerang, you're going to get a fairly immediate and dangerous crash. We're talking about big rockets here, not toy ones, with their own internal guidence system. These has the advantage in that you can land your laundry wherever you choose to program it - so in theory you could wash clothes for your aunt in Canada and they would be dry by the time they re-enter and land in her garden.
My aplolgies blpupp! I mean apologies - I should have made myself more clear.
