Description

We are designing a mechanically powered water filtration system. A hand crank and an alternating current (AC) generator will produce electrical power that will drive a water pump. This water pump will drive unfiltered water through a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane to remove dissolved solid impurities to obtain clean water.

Vision

This is an attempt at sustainability and renewable energy. Hence, we want to explore the potential of mechanical power produced by humans as applied to an electrical household object. Our product can potentially be used in rural areas which require both electricity and drinking water.
