Abstract
Our goal is to create an ultrasound based filtration system. It is broken down into three separate parts that we are attempting to create. The first part of the project is to create a filtration system that filters the water of matter. The next section is to use an ultrasound to eliminate organisms in the water. Lastly, we will be creating our own testing system that tests the quality of the water. In order to achieve our goals, we have to have things that need to be accomplished. First we will need to create our product. This product is broken down into three parts: ultrasonic filtration, matter filtration, and a flowing water sensor. When discussing with the client, we decided to break the deliverables up into these three different sections. We will record our findings, and design details into three mini reports that can be used individually, or combined into one cohesive description of the product.
Purpose
The past several decades have witnessed a severe lack of clean potable water in impoverished areas. This is a problem that our team is attempting to alleviate. Our driving purpose is to create an alternative method to purify water using ultrasound. This will hopefully eliminate the need to replace filters, and lower the overall cost of filtration in the region.
