- the Department of Industrial
Abstract
The turbidity water in the disaster area isunusable and requires long periods of precipitation andfiltration. A simple portable water filter is designed to solve theproblem of drinking water for the victims. The method to solvethe problem: a 2-in-1 motor powered by a DC battery providedextracted and pressurized on turbid rainwater. We choose thesuitable filters set to reduce costs. The Prototyping model madeby 3D printing used to verify the user’s requirement. Bothpiggyback and handheld are suitable for rescuer’s bodycondition. The result shows the turbid water can becontinuously extracted and released to the drinking water ofacceptable quality during the pressurization process. Weachieved a portable water purifier which improved the waterquality and provided a short-term drinking water supply. It canplace in local community office during the disaster.
