Bike Powered Water Purifier Concepts: Fluid Mechanics, Water Conservation Equations: Experimental Challenges: Create and test bike powered water purifier Analytical Challenges: Determine which filter best used to filter water, measure pressure, flow, and gear ratio http://umaine.edu/met/capstone-projects/2013- various/clean-water-project/
2
Challenge Analytical: Students design water purifier powered by a bike by determining what type of filter is required to best filter water with the least amount of particles while maintaining a specified flow rate and pressure Students can vary the gear ratio on the bike, regulate the flow of water, and pressure Experimental: Students build the water purifier that they designed and simulated.
