Spring Student Design Competition “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 http://www.asme.org/Communities/Students/2007_Design_Problem.cfm#DESIGN%20PROBLEM
