Project Background The customer, B9 Plastic’s Better Water Maker strives to provide clean, disinfected water to over 800 million people worldwide. The current system treats ½ gallon of water per minute by the use of a manual hand crank to provide power to the pump and UV light. The water passes by the UV light where it is nearly sanitized. Previous Projects One design utilized a hand crank flywheel as a method of power generation. Second design improved upon the first and used a recumbent foot petal instead of the hand crank. Third design focused on removing the turbidity of the water by the use of a French press style of filter. Previous iterations of the projected were regarded as good ideas but were not implemented. 49/11/2014

Project Objectives Run water with specified turbidity through the UV system to sanitize it to an accepted level. Redesigned mechanical power generation system. Reduced cost from $200/unit to $100/unit. System is easy and fun to use. 59/11/2014

Problem Statement The goal of this project is to create a cheaper system that requires less effort to operate and is fun for women and children to use. Cost of the system must be reduced to $100/unit for 1000 units. The components of the UV system must not altered. Lamp must be powered on for 10 seconds before pump is on Gap between UV light and water Type of bulb The complete system should be mobile and lightweight to allow for easy storage. Fully functioning prototype must be completed by the end of MSD II. 69/11/2014

Assumptions & Constraints UV disinfection system treats ½ gallon of water per minute. Manual power generation must generate at least 17 watts of power for the duration of time that it is being used. Total system cost must be less than or equal to $100/unit for 1,000 units. UV lamp needs 10 second lead time. Must use off the shelf parts as much as possible. Cannot alter UV disinfection system. 119/11/2014
