| Project Code name | Fountain |
| Project Title | Wishing Wells |
| Abstract | In an effort to reduce plastic water bottle usage and help to reduce humanity’s carbon footprint, students from Wesleyan University built a portable water station that filters and cools hose water, and then dispenses it to multiple bottle-filling stations. This project was called the Wishing Well, and the plans are open-sourced at wwells.org so that the public could build it and make a difference. The Wesleyan team built their design with the use of a machine shop and intended to release additional plans so that the average person could replicate it without one before abandoning the project. UMASS Dartmouth students take over the next step, utilizing the existing design concepts to design, build, and test a version of the Wishing Well without any tooling or processes too complex for the general public. Steps will then be taken to construct detailed documentation that will allow the common person to replicate the Wishing Well without the need for special equipment. |
