Pedal-Powered Mechanical Water Filtration and Pumping Trike
Stationary/mobile tricycle mechanism driving a diaphragm pump through multi-stage sand, activated carbon, and ceramic filters.
Project Overview
A zero-electricity humanitarian engineering project. Human pedaling drives a chain-and-sprocket crank that actuates a high-volume positive displacement diaphragm pump, forcing river water through sand filters and activated carbon at 15 liters per minute.
