“Water, water everywhere, and not a
drop to drink.”
~ Coleridge “The Ryme of the Ancient Mariner”
In light of the hurricanes through New
Orleans causing many people to be
without potable water for days or
even weeks, the task is to design a
“human-powered still” to purify
contaminated water with mechanical
input.
Goals:
• Energy input would come from a linkage or mechanism driven by human
effort
• Small enough to be easily stored or transported for emergency use
• Easily assembled from its stored configuration
Prizes range from $50 - $4000
