Does a washing machine need a magnet to operate?

The answer is both yes and no.It actually depends on the kind of washing machine in question.The problem is the motion.A washing machine need some kind of an engine or motor in order to move the cloths back and forth. This can of course be done manually.If we rule out manual washing machines, and also only count in electrical ones then these can be made in two different ways.The motor causing the tumbling or the motion in the washing machine can be made with both permanent magnets like NeoDym, or with purely electrical pulses creating strong electromagnetic fields.Most motors in washing machines made today are made without magnets. It is cheaper to make purely electrical motors where the electricity provides the magnetic fields needed. By electronically rotate the magnetic field around the axis, this will force the motion of the motor. It would use less electricity to make the motors with NeoDym magnets but it would also cost more to produce.As a conclusion: We can not make an electrical washing machine that operate without magnetic fields, but magnetic fields does not have to be made by magnets.

Why are washing machines made of steel?

Washing machines are made of steel primarily for its durability and strength, which can withstand the mechanical stresses of washing cycles. Steel is also resistant to corrosion when treated or coated, ensuring longevity in a wet environment. Additionally, the material provides stability and helps in noise reduction during operation. Its ability to be easily molded into various shapes allows for efficient design and functionality in washing machines.
