I just recently saw a steam and gas engine show where they had a ton of still working washing machines and other household amenities that worked off a belt system and mini 1.5-2.5 hp steam engine.

They had larger lumber mill type saws and other industrial sized stuff that still worked too.

Was pretty crazy seeing vehicles still driving around the fairgrounds that were made so long ago.

It was very neat to realize how much our society is more of a throwaway society in terms of the honor in being able to repair/fix your own stuff and make it last for generations. I thought to myself, "There is no way in 100 years a Tesla would still be in working condition like these old steam engine vehicles."
