Target
Countries on the equator, such as:
Angola, Central African Republic, Chad, Ethiopia, Mali, Niger, Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan Uganda, Zambia

Idea
A see-saw structure that holds a solar panel while filtering water through a carbon filter and gravity.

Water Filtration
The filter is produced to provide clean water that can be replaced with readily available materials:
Sand
Rock
Charcoal

Solar Trackers

What’s new?
The solutions alone idea aren’t novel. Solar panels are everywhere and water filtration systems are readily available.
These systems are both expensive and unavailable for poorer areas.

How to use it
The solar panels are mounted on the rotating frame, a weight is suspended from one end, and a special waterclock is suspended from the other. As the water empties and the container gets lighter, the panel slowly rotates.

Cost basis
Cost of building this is as follows ( All costs are approximates) :
$50 – Solar Panel
$10 – wood
$0.10 – Charcoal
$3 – Hardware (misc. hooks, screws, etc)
Total: $63.10
A Solar tracker cost anywhere from $2,000 - $20,000.

Scalable?
If given more time we plan on integrating a TI board with motorized pump to automatically refill the dirty-water reservoir to ease the scalability of this solution.
