Aquaduct: mobile filtration vehicle

The creators are Adam Mack, Brian Mason, John Lai, Paul Silberschatz and Eleanor Morgan…

“The Aquaduct is pedal powered vehicle that transports, filters, and stores water for the developing world. A peristaltic pump attached to the pedal crank draws water from a large tank, through a carbon filter, to a smaller clean tank. The clean tank is removable and closed for contamination-free home storage and use. A clutch engages and disengages the drive belt from the pedal crank, enabling the rider to filter the water while traveling or while stationary. The Aquaduct is the winning entry in the Innovate or Die contest put on by Google and Specialized. Please see the website: www.innovate-or-die.com for more details.”
