Bathing machine for the handicapped

Saw this at the adivasi industrial exhibition at Silvasa. More like Khanvel which is around an hour away. Really complicated and impractical apparatus which I am sure is easy to become dysfunctional and will only work in theory. The display was broken or something because I didn't see the demo both the times I went to the stall.





The principle is that the handicap sits on this chair which revolves and then the brush scrubs him. The inventor probably didn't know that bathing machines exist which are simpler in make, jets come out from all sides and you are scrubbed with automatic sponges like in a car wash and the drying is done by blowers. Can obviously be used by handicaps too...
