# Aquaduct Bike Your Way to Clean Water By Hjortur | Published 2008-01-20 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aquaduct-bike-your-way-to-clean-water References: [core77](http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/aquaduct_mobile_filtration_vehicle_8713.asp) & [innovate-or-die](http://www.innovate-or-die.com/) This innovative bike was the winning submission in the [Innovate or Die](http://www.innovate-or-die.com) competition. This unique invention is a tricycle with a built in water filtration system. At the back it has a large water container for unpure water. When you start riding the bike you pump the water from that container through a filter system and to a smaller container at the front of the bike that gets filled up with clean water. But you don't always have to go for a ride to clean your water. There is a clutch where you can detach the wheels from the pedals so that you can start cleaning the water with out moving the bike. That way, it is also a [stationary water filtration system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spout-water) that needs no electricity, coals, oil or any other outside source. Only physical energy. Simply brilliant. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sustainable Bicycles:** There is a growing trend of innovative and sustainable bicycles that solve societal and environmental problems. - **Mobile Water Filtration:** People are increasingly looking for portable, sustainable, and affordable ways to ensure access to clean water. - **Human-powered Devices:** Human-powered devices like the Aquaduct are becoming more prevalent as concerns about sustainability and energy consumption grow. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Bicycles and Accessories:** Bicycle manufacturers and retailers can capitalize on the trend of sustainable and utility bicycles, as well as mobile water filtration systems. - **Water and Sanitation:** Water treatment and supply companies can explore opportunities to develop and market portable and cost-effective water filtration systems for individuals and communities. - **Clean Energy Technology:** Companies that specialize in clean energy technology can explore how human power can be harnessed to provide sustainable and affordable energy for a range of applications. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Water Purifier Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ladislamp-disinfection.md) - [Stackable Electricity-Free Water Filters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electricityfree-water-filter.md) - [3D-Printed Water Filtration Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/filter-caps.md) - [Sleek Cyclist Water Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyclist-water-bottle.md) - [Low-Cost Water Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edrop-water-purifier.md) - [Hydrogen-Powered Concept Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydra-bike.md) - [Accessible Atmospheric Water Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/water-from-air.md) - [Adventurous Pedal-Powered Electric Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pedalpowered-electric-bicycle.md) - [Lotus-Inspired Floating Water Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floatis.md)
