snowwhite

Hi! My name is snowwhite. I wanted to do the civil engineering camping challenge because I had a good idea of how to make the jug tilt.


 * My brainstorming Ideas**

There can be a lever that sticks out two-three feet from the ground. When you hold your hands out you put your rists on the lever and push it down. When your wrists let go the kever would go back up and tilt the jug back up.

I could also have a platform that when you stand on it it tilts the jug

I've changed my design a lot. And I've almost finished.

I have finished my project! The picture above shows what it looks like. What happens is you untie the string in front. Then you wrap the string around your wrist. Once you have the string around your wrist you take the cap off the jug. After that you lightly pull the the string, and the jug should tip over along with the cardboard. Then you can wash your hands. The jug isn't tilted at too large of an angle, so the water shouldn't flow out too rapidly. That way you can put the cap back on the jug to make the water stop. Then you pull on the back string until the jug is upright again. In my project you only use your hands to put the cap back on the jug, and by that time you would've already have washed your hands.


 * What I still Need To Figure Out**

I'm thinking that to keep the water from evaporating I need to find a way to take the cap on and off.

With my new almost finished design all I need is to figure out how to turn the water off.
