Playpumps
Problem - it's hard for many developing countries to get clean water. They must daily walk back and forth to the source with jugs. But there is water right below them - they just need to tap into it.Solution - Playpumps harness the endless energy of kids. as they play on the merry-go-round, it pumps the water and stores it for use.
Brilliant.

About Me
Blog of peter centofante: father, husband, brother, UX designer, freelance graphic designer, believer, realist and thinker (at least i'd like to think so.) This blog is a collection of my thoughts and things i find interesting.
I believe that ideas can change things. I think that when people are inspired by something, they rarely attempt to copy it, rather they use that spark towards their own goals, projects, and worldviews. In light of this, my goal is to share many ideas, in the hopes of making everything better.
Enjoy.
