Four high school students designed the bottle. They designed the bottle while part of a program designed to interest high school girls in engineering.. The program challenged the four students to “reinvent the wheel.” So, they focused their assignment on the ongoing global water crisis.to purify water. As such, they considered whether it was possible or not to make a bottle that could do the same for seawater.
The technique that mangrove trees use inspired the desalinating water bottle’s design. These trees use thermal and membrane-based techniques to desalinate the saltwater they grow in. The technique the students used included a chamber where the saltwater goes. From there it connects to a sort of reverse osmosis membrane.
