The simplest ideas are often the best and this Chinese road sweeper is no exception.

Looking like something that’s been bodged together in a shed by animated inventors Wallace and Gromit, the wacky contraption uses 16 straw broomsticks connected to a rotating iron disc which spins round as it is pulled along behind a van.

Although it might appear to be a one-off, it’s a tried and trusted design that has been in use across
China for decades.

Just watch out for cyclists!

Simple but effective: It may be basic but the spinning broomsticks certainly get the job done

This is not cleaning the streets – merely pushing the dirt around a bit. No help at all.
