Six thousand liters of pure water from one bottle

Having seen enough of the problems with the supply of clean water to the victims of the 2004 tsunami and Hurricane Katrina last year, Ipswich businessman Michael Pritchard invented a bottle that in just seconds can clean and make drinking water of almost any degree of contamination. The miracle bottle, called Life Saver bottle, turned out to be so effective that the military, who were interested in this kind of extreme ways of saving lives, “swept” all the supplies in just one day.


And no wonder, so Life Saver bottle can really turn out to be an extremely useful thing in case of an extreme situation. Conventional filters used for water purification, can "weed out" bacteria up to 200 nanometers in size. But with viruses (their size is on average about 25 nanometers) can not cope. The invention of Pritchard without any problems is able to clean up to six thousand liters of water (without changing the filter) from any nastiness, the dimensions of which range from 15 nanometers and more. This means that bacteria and viruses will not pass. Moreover, filtration does not require the use of chemical compounds.

There is a lot of Life Saver bottle with a nanofilter - $ 385. But compared with the ability to save lives, this is a penny.
