Outdoor water get's contaminated , consists of several bacteria and virus' and it is unhealthy to drink that water

Coming to the point ultra violet light has a property to kill the bacteria and virus's , bacteria cannot grow and sustain to the wavelength of UV

Based on this property we are going to build a portable water purifier to know more about the UV purification watch this video

3) CUTTERS OR SCISSORS

4) HOT GLUE GUN

Step 3: MAKING

1) First take the old soda bottle remove the cap and make two holes

2) Insert the led from the inner portion of the cap such that the led terminals comes out of the cap and seal with hot glue and make sure that it is leak proof and the terminals of the led are not in contact with water

3) The bigger terminal of the led is always positive and the smaller one is negative

4) Take an another cap of same size and make two holes and insert the wires
