Overview
A portable water dispenser designed for IDF soldiers to wash their hands before meals in the field. It works with a large needle that lets the water flow out and a smaller needle that lets air flow in.
The idea came to me while going through old footage from my military service — I noticed a clear lack of portable sinks alongside an abundance of water bottles, specifically Neviot.
H2GO is a water dispenser that lets a standard bottle be swapped in quickly and reused as the water source — without ever needing to open the bottle itself.
