OldMtWoman – Sorry to hear about your fall! I’m glad that you didn’t get any serious injury from it though!
Today I did some online research to try to learn more about the Amish and Mennonite communities near where I live. I saw the website for a monthly publication, the “Plain Communities Business Exchange”, that contains lots of ads for businesses selling products purchased by members of Amish, Mennonite, and other “plain” groups. In a free issue on the publication’s website, I was interested to see an ad for a clothes washing machine that runs on compressed air. There was also a model that runs on solar power, which didn’t surprise me, but I never realized that some equipment can run just on compressed air. I’m interested to learn how that works and if it would be a viable alternative to electricity in a SHTF situation.
