Daniel Vorhis's Problem Solving Experience:
- I designed and developed an innovative, flexible container for drinking water storage and transport.
- I instigated and developed, with a team, a new way of manufacturing a diatomite-based microfilter to create drinking water from untreated surface water.
- I designed and developed an elastomeric, hand-actuated, meterable liquid dispensing valve with no moving parts, for dispensing gasoline or other liquids without spills.
- I designed and developed, with a team, a family of innovative, low-cost water treatment devices that create drinking water from untreated surface water without outside power or chemicals, and with an unlimited shelf life.
- I designed and developed a variety of small combustion appliances, including a rare-earth lantern and small, multi-fuel stoves, with features such as a self-cleaning jet and the ability to be used with a variety of fuels
