Visit us at http://innovation.berkeley.edu Group 1: We combined the 'size time interface time' technique with the Magnify/Minify technique in order to come up with creative solutions. This led to our realization of a spectrum ranging from external solutions to solutions integrated biologically with your body. On one extreme, simply drinking rain water is the most disconnected, external solution. And on the other, a full time IV supply of water would allow the user a fully automated, integrated means of refreshment. Our realistic solution that lies within the more practical range of the spectrum is called the AquaPouch.
The product consists of a refillable sleeve bladder roughly the size of two spirals with a capacity of about one liter. This would fit easily in any backpack or briefcase or shoulder bag. The user drinks via a retractable tube or straw. The unit is refilled from a high performance water dispenser that uses a pressure loaded seal that allows hassle free connection for a rapid refilling process.
