About using body-energy to purify water: Getting the energy from the paddling movement has some disadvantages: - Energy used for purification is lost for paddling; - The movement is not easily converted to a pump action. I would suggest you install the paddles of an old bicycle and get the energy you need from your legs, not your arms.
