BYU students and WHOLives nonprofit founder John Renouard have saved the lives of millions with their invention. Now their success has caught the attention of many major news outlets, including ESPN. Here's how their invention came to be:
Anyone visiting the unremarkable backyard of John Renouard is bound to notice a large, steel machine standing at the edge of the flower garden. The machine is painted blue and yellow and lacks any engines or electronic parts.

The machine is called the "Village Drill," one of many models envisioned by Renouard and developed by BYU students six years ago.
