PuriFan - Saving Lives, Creating FuturesExecutive Summary:Dysentery, cholera, and typhoid are diseases that we ourselves may never imagine being affected by in our everyday lives, yet, individuals all over
the world are killed by these horrific diseases - in fact, diseases related to unsanitary water claims more than 4000 lives in a single day. Thesepeople, oftentimes young children, still have bright futures waiting for them- but the inability to provide them with clean water has resulted in thedeprivation of that livelihood. Not only do they not have access to sanitary water, but also half of the world is without electricity; a vital powersource. Seeing a dire need to provide a solution to both problems, we have created “PuriFan”: a revolutionary generator of clean water and kinetic
energy without the use of electricity.
1. Mission
UN statistics have shown that: 663 million people around the world are still going without access to improved drinking sources; at least 1.8 million
people use a source of drinking water that is fecally contaminated; and nearly 1,000 children die due to preventable water and sanitation-related
diarrheal diseases.
It is clear that the implementation of “PuriFan” in schools could save precious lives.
In short, our objectives are to:
I. Create a system that produces much-needed clean and accessible drinking water; thereby encouraging schoolchildren to grow underhealthier circumstances, and strive for better futures.
II. Create a generator of kinetic energy that is safe to use in an educational environment.
III. Create a generator of kinetic energy that does not rely on electricity or fossil fuels for power, making it eco-friendly.
IV. Provide children in developing countries the opportunity to learn more about science, machinery, and health first-hand.
V. Allow children to learn in a cool and comfortable environment, which can help them to concentrate more on their studies, and eliminate
the risk of dehydration or heat strokes.
2. Operation/Product and Services“PuriFan” starts operating once you put heated stones (=insulated bricks
containing clay, which increases heat retention capabilities) in the unsanitarywater that is placed inside a plastic container. (1)The hot stones will boil thedirty water, ridding it of harmful substances and rendering it safe drinking
water. (2)As a result of the boiled water, a significant amount of water vapour
will be created, which goes on to move the turbine; creating kinetic energy thatcan be used to cool a classroom by connecting a fan to the turbine. Due to thisunique characteristic, the use of electricity is completely unnecessary, making
it usable in developing countries. (3)After moving the turbine, the water vapour
will move back to the water container where it will naturally go through aprocess of condensation, turn into a liquid, and join the pool of clean water thatis already inside the plastic container. After all of the thermal energy stored in
the stones is depleted, users will find that clean, drinkable water has accumulated in the container.
3. Market/Industry Analysis
Our target audience will mainly be large organizations such as the Red Cross, the Médecins Sans Frontières, the UN Foundation, and UNICEF;
NPOs that work towards building schools; (ex. “HERO,” builds schools in Cambodia; “International Support of School Construction,” builds
schools in Laos and Nepal;etc. ) and companies that focus on solving problems related to water and the environment. (Kubota Corporations;Ishigaki Company, LTD; Shin Nippon Machinery, LTD, etc.) As of now, many water purifying methods that are used in third-world countries
require complicated technology, such as UV radiation emitters and various chemical substances, and some even require the digging of wells.
PuriFan will be more effective and generally much better than the current technologies, because it does not require complicated technology-or any
electricity- to power it; not to mention that it even generates kinetic energy. Also, with regard to the power generation market in Africa, several
companies have released technologies such as solar panels; however, these solar panels are simply too expensive. Thus, we expect our product tohave more of a demand in the international market, because it can provide effective solutions to both problems in one package. NGOs such as
UNICEF buy simple gadgets at affordable prices, but market research has shown that the more gadgets that they buy, these costs ultimately end up
amounting to quite an expense, since it is necessary to buy various gadgets in order to fulfill multiple needs. Therefore, we have developed a morecomprehensive device that fulfills multiple needs of the impoverished people, and we propose this product at a reasonable price.
4. Marketing/Strategy and Implementation
By asking for an opportunity to present our product, we expect companies and organizations to better understand our vision and make it easier for
us to directly negotiate with them to use our product in the schools that they fund. We will also work with the UN Foundation, which createspartnerships between entrepreneurs and the UN in order to effectively provide solutions to the problems that the UN tackles. Since “Clean Waterand Sanitation” is labeled as goal #6 in the Sustainable Development Goals, we are confident that the UN will want to test the potential that
PuriFan possesses. We also expect to collaborate with the Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), which has expressed an interest inproviding clean water. In regards to the actual product, we hope to develop larger versions of it, as well as new modules to put on the turbine,instead of limiting the output of the steam energy to the rotation of fans.

5. Finance6. Conclusion
PuriFan will undoubtedly change the lives of individuals who are currently unable to access clean drinking water, or to any source of electricity.
We can help pave the way for a more sustainable future and potentially save people from being infected with diseases like dysentery, cholera, andtyphoid, and prevent a max of around 4000 lives from being taken away, every day. Investors will not be disappointed with the success that weknow will come with investing in PuriFan- the best solution to providing energy and clean water.
