How It Works

Scroll over each number to find out more about the components of our device!

Inlet

Water flows into our system, providing a sample to test water quality.

Filter

Prevents foreign microbes from entering and contaminating our reactor.

Pumps

Move water and food to and from the reactor.

Piping and Calibration

Resist corrosion and set flow rates to the optimal level.

Reactors

House bacteria that produce electrical current in response to toxins.

Food Tanks

Supply our bacteria with lactate to keep them alive.

Electronics

Record bacterial current and transmit data wirelessly to the user.

Battery

Keeps our device running.

Solar Panel

Extends the longevity of our device by providing extra power.

Filter

Prevents our microbes from leaving the device.

Outlet

Water flows back to the source.

Support

Keeps the device safe from weather, rocks, and, of course, bears.

The Full Device

In all of its glory.
