Aquaduct Mobile Filtration Vehicle concept

Aquaduct is pedal-powered vehicle that transports, filters and stores water for use in the developing world. A pump attached to the pedal crank draws water from a large tank, through a filter and into a smaller, clean tank. A clutch engages and disengages the drive belt from the pedal crank, enabling the rider to filter the water while traveling or while stationary.
