Benchmarking

As a team we presented three potential concepts. At the design review, our customer suggested a treadle design and that research with our findings will also be highlighted in this section.

• Solar

• Treadle Design

After deciding that our team would move forward with a bicycle design, our customer encouraged us to examine the treadle pump commonly used in developing countries. Click here for some basic reseach on the treadle pump and mechanical treadle.
