Problem StatementThe Better Water Maker was developed to disinfect water in nations
with high mortality rates due to poor water and sanitation systems. The goal of our team is to provide a low cost, efficient power generation system for the Better Water Maker that does not tire the user, while it is fun and easy to use.
Project Plan
Customer Needs (Critical)
Primary needs● Generate adequate power● Is not tiring● Reduced cost● Maintain durability
Engineering Requirements
● Generate 25 Watts● Can be used for at least 5 minutes● Costs less than $150● Lasts for at least 180,000 gallons of water
Constraints & Design Drivers
Key Design Drivers• Functionality, Reliability, Cost, Usability,
Manufacturability• Durability, Efficiency
Constraints• Cost, Size, Weight, Strength of User
System Analysis: HOQ Results
Four highest weighted needs:
● Ease of Repair● Cost● Unit Life● Effort Required

Engineering Analysis
Assumptions:● 30W Solar Panel● Surface Area: 0.262 m^2● Efficiency: 18%● 2-axis rotation● Clear-sky analysis● BWM requires 20.4-25.5W
Solar Insolation by Region
Port-au-Prince, Haiti Sun Chart: Hot Climate
Nepal Sun Chart: Cooler Climate
Calculations for 20° Latitude: Haiti
● 8AM to 4PM availability● Shade drastically reduces power
Solar Concept: Risk Assessment By Importance
● Reliability○ Weather○ Time○ Shading
● Theft● Battery
○ Shipping○ Cost○ Safety○ Life
● Additional Controls● Cost
○ Component
Solar Concept: Cost Analysis
● 30W Monocrystalline Solar Panel 18V- $71.06● 2-Axis Stand- $20-$30● AC Converter- $20● Wire extension- $10● 12V lead acid battery - $30
Total Cost: ~$150
● May end up outside budget, but the system will provide power for any device.
Solar Concept: Test Plan
● Use multimeter to verify the power.● Measure the power if a cell is shaded.● Collect data on battery charging capability.● Test ability of a child to use from start to finish.● Obtain a survey from users on its ease of use.
Leg-powered Concept
● Recumbent Bicycle● Direct- or Chain-Drive
Pros Cons
● More power in legs than arms● Less tiring than current design● Higher efficiency than current● Possibility to reduce amounts
of motors
● Might add cost● High forces on seating
structure● More complicated setup than
current design● Less portable than current

Leg-powered Concept: Cost Analysis
● Crankset - $10-20*● Pedals - $4*● Chain - $10● Keyed Shaft - $10 -17*● Sprocket - $5 - 10
Chain Drive - $39 - 61*Direct Drive - $24 - 41
Leg-powered Concept: Test Plan
● Have volunteers test for comfort● Measures forces on seat and pedals● Can run for 5 minutes or more● Run generator while attached to a voltmeter
○ Ensure voltage is limited correctly

Spring Concept: Cost Analysis
● Springs - $3-10 each● Solenoid - $15-30 each● Rectifier - $0.50-3● Plywood casing - $5-10 per setup● Rope/chain - $0.70/ft
Swing - $30-68Single Jump Platform - $26-63Double Jump Platform - $52-123
Spring Concept: Test Plan
● Test the components for each output individuallyo Verify with expectations
● Test the ergonomics of the setup to determine whether it requires less effort than the original design
● Bring children in to set up and use the apparatus● Use DOE tools to validate the testing results
Recommendations:
●Solar Concept:o Has great potential, even beyond BWM, but has high risk
in reliability and cost.
●Leg-Powered Deviceo High reliability in combination with low cost and OTS
components make this a desirable concept.
●Spring Concepto Unknown reliability of power; this will need more anaysis
before moving forward, but it has great potential to be fun and easy to use, as well as low in cost.
