The Process of Manufacturing of Pedal Powered Water Purifier

Abstract

Water (constituent of hydrogen & oxygen) is a requirement of everything including humans, animals, plants, & microorganisms. They can’t live without it. Due to Industrial growth & construction development, water is becoming polluted specially in rivers. As well Electricity is extremely erratic in rural and remote areas, thus making conventional water purifiers almost redundant for use. Thus, this project is specifically targeted at such areas like rural & urban where conditions of water supply is erratic or non-existent. People don’t have access to clean drinking water due to long distances. A pedal operated water filtration system can filter water by using human muscle power via a pedal operated mechanism. This apparatus is preferably mounted on a supporting frame for increased portability. It will be specifically designed to perform three important functions: storing water, filtering it and transporting it to the destination. vision of this project is to solve purifying drinking water by creating a durable apparatus which is cheap to manufacture and to buy, which can last for a long time in rural conditions and which can be detachable so that it can be mounted on any frame. The system works on the sprocket chain system with power generator dynamo along with supporting frame interfaced with filters, container with integrated heating element and supporting circuit to achieve this system development. The overall apparatus is designed to be as lightweight and as cheap as possible to make it easily accessible to a very wide range of people. The apparatus is also designed to be made detachable so that it can be easily shifted from one place to another with minimal modifications.
