Coffee Break Commentary: Human powered transit... and water filter?

Today's Coffee Break Commentary is a human powered combination of transit and water filtration.

Wait... what???

The "Aquaduct" is a well thought out vehicle intended for third world use to decease the time and energy needed to carry and store water, and increase the drink-ability of that water.



Though I'm unconvinced that this is going to solve- or even perceptibly ease- the global water crisis, it's a great idea, that even has myriad first and second world applications. I will be interested to see how the units perform under real world stresses (especially rough roads under the weight of a lot of H2O).

I also hope that people keep getting great ideas like this to the ground - and into the drinking cups - of those who can most benefit from creative solutions to perennial problems.
