Innovate or Die! And The Winner Is...
The Innovate or Die contest for the most creative, most energy saving, and best design of a bicycle-powered energy saving invention, is over. And the Grand Prize, annound this morning, goes to the invention pictured above. The Aquaduct, the entry from a team of five California designers, addresses the needs of 1.1 million people in the world who don't have access to clean drinking water.
This is how the Aquaduct works. I think you'll agree that the Aquaduct is an extremely novel and important invention.
The 2007 Innovate or Die pedal-powered machine contest was presented by Google, Specialized Bicycles, and Goodby, Silverstein & Partners . The contest winners will each receive a Specialized World Bike and, as a group, a check for $5000.

Submitted on January 16th, 2008 by Sarah OWhat a great way to transport heavy loads of H20. Nice find!
Wonderful find
Submitted on January 23rd, 2008 by Body BeautyI love this. It is so helpful in so many ways!
This seems like a good idea.
Submitted on February 1st, 2008 by Anonymous (not verified)This seems like a good idea. The Achilles heel of this invention may be the filter itself. What does it filter? What passes through? does it remove microbes? How much does it cost?
