You can buy these bottles here. Quite pricey, but it might come in handy when the zombie apocalypse is upon us. No need to stack our shelter with many liters of water. Too bad the shelf life is only 3 years.
nice sounds like a nice technique wonder how they make the ultra filtration membranes.
And as a company i wonder what they do for the invirement. He talks about he invented the system for the thirt world. With this invesment prices its unlickly that the thirt world can buy on for themself.
For the third world it's mostly marketed to government and aid agencies. It's better and easier to ship these bottles in a crises than to ships 1000's of liters of water. Also in the talk he mentions this can reduce the need for refugees to cluster in camps.
I've always found the images of bottled water as emergency aid a little strange. You can boil much much more than 1 liter of water with one liter of alcohol/gasoline. Fly in some fuel, there is almost always water around to boil. No need to fly in bottled water from the Alps. It may just be a typical UN media stunt; looks good in the papers. Or some other reason I don't understand.

ReplyDeleteI wonder what part of people without access the clean drinking water boil their water. Or would that cost too much fuel?
