NOVELITY
Pedal pure is a simple mechanical setup which could easily be used to pump out clean
and pure water without having hassle free usage . Basically designed taking in care of
rural atmosphere and habitat.
Also it is cost effective and efficient in every manner .Taking all steps towards
SUSTAINABILY AND ECO-FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT.
Feasibility
The tubing that the water moves through runs from the holding tank on the back
of the Pedal pure the circular peristaltic pump where the pedals are located.
Then the tubing traces back to the holding tank to the carbon filter and back out
to the clean tank at the front of the Pedal pure.
In order to get that water moving from the holding tank to the clean tank, you
must pedal. The rotational motion of pedaling drives the peristaltic pump action
that directs the water flow. Peristaltic pumps move liquids via compression and
suction. When the pump turns with the pedaling motion, it compresses the
tubing. As it continues to rotate, it releases the compression, creating suction and
drawing water through it. Think about dunking a disposable water bottle into
a pool. If you squeeze the bottle while it's submerged and then release it, that
suction forces the water into the bottle.
Continuous pedaling allows the pump to draw the dirty water from the holding
tank and push the water through the filter and onward. The activated carbon in
the filter cleans the water by a process called adsorption. During adsorption,
molecules from volatile organic compounds, chlorine and other chemicals cling to
the carbon particles, removing them from the water
OUTCOME
In addition to saving time and human energy, the Pedal pure also cuts back on
carbon emissions. Motorized vehicles that may carry water to remote areas burn
fossil fuels. Boiling water to purify it also results in carbon dioxide production. The
Pedal pure eliminates the both causes.
