Energy saving!! How???

[smiley]

Oh well, not content with the car going caput, the oven breaking, my washer has come out in support to empty my pocket!!

In 27 years I have only had 2 washers (inc current one) both Hotpoint.

I bought my last one 13 years ago because of moving into a house with a meter (water efficient).

I have just looked for my next hotpoint as they are reliable.

I have noted the wash times for a 40 and 60 wash.

My machine washes in 50 mins to final spin. The new equivalent takes 60 to 1.30mins. 40 minutes longer than mine, can someone explain to me (dump blonde obviously) how 1.30mins is more energy efficient 50 mins with no difference in the water consumption?

I know there must be an Einstein answer out there, but plain simple replies would do...

Best I can do at short notice.

Hope it helps ??? it's all to do with the springs.

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {

nodes[i+1] = new mass();

float angle = TWO_PI*float(i)/5.0;

nodes[i+1].px = nodes[0].px + (cos(angle) * 100.0);

nodes[i+1].py = nodes[0].py + (sin(angle) * 100.0);

nodes[i+1].vx = random(-20.0,20.0);

nodes[i+1].vy = random(-20.0,20.0);

links = new spring();

links.d = 100.0;

links.a = nodes[0];

links.b = nodes[i+1];

for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {

int n = 6+(i*5)+j;

float angle2 = TWO_PI*float(j)/5.0;

nodes[n] = new mass();

nodes[n].px = nodes[i+1].px + (cos(angle2) * 50.0);

nodes[n].py = nodes[i+1].py + (sin(angle2) * 50.0);

nodes[n].vx = random(-20.0,20.0);

nodes[n].vy = random(-20.0,20.0);

links[n-1] = new spring();

links[n-1].d = 50.0;

links[n-1].a = nodes[i+1];

links[n-1].b = nodes[n];
