SHILLONG: Retired police official HB Phanbuh has invented a machine for washing cars, tyres, shoes etc to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The former Deputy SP told reporters that the machine, christened Black Box, can be used with a 12 volt battery. He said the machine can use disinfectants for cleaning the shoes, cars etc.
Phanbuh said that 8-10 litres of water can be used for small vehicles and 15-18 liters for larger ones.
He also said that the equipment is eco-friendly.
He said that ITI students can replicate the model of the machine as the materials used are not costly and will be below Rs 2400.
