Video: BYU's Human-Powered Drill Brings Clean Water To Developing Nations

BYU engineers traveled to Tanzania to test their human-powered drill. The drill is used to drill water wells in developing countries where traditional drilling methods are too expensive.

Sponsored by WHOlives.org, the water well drill project was part of a senior Capstone project by Brigham Young University mechanical engineering students.
