Summary/Overview:

Washing windows on skyscrapers is time consuming and dangerous. One method to eliminate these issues is to have a totally automated system that does not require humans to endanger their lives for work. Using a combined Geneva Mechanism and slider crank driven off a single motor, our mechanism continuously scrubs and intermittently lowers itself down a window, cleaning it both efficiently and safely. The simplicity of the system allows for maintenance to be both cheap and easy, as well as for the system to be robust enough to be suitable for any window washing application.
