Think you can also drink the sewer water is not exactly inviting. In emergency cases, however, can be presented with a special bottle from a businessman at an exhibition of Ipswich weapons under way in London. The invention is called Life Saver Bottle and is a tool that makes drinking water even dirtier. Coast 270 euros and could save many lives, especially in areas affected by environmental disasters.
At the fair called Desi has been shown that due to a filter (be changed every 6 thousand liters), in seconds, The Life Saver Bottle makes it more drinkable water too dirty and smelly, such as sewer.
Michael Pritchard, that produces, has sold 1.000 specimens that were with him in a few hours. The bottle filter would prevent the use of hate pastiche that purify the water, But giving it a flavor that many find distasteful. A prototype of the Life Saver Bottle had already won a prize at a conference on military technology in July.
Pritchard ha detto di essersi messo all’opera vedendo il dramma dei supestiti dello tsunami in Asia del 2004 e dell’uragano Katrina nel 2005, restati per giorni senza acqua potabile. “Dovevo fare qualcosa. Ci ho messo un po’ con alcuni prototipi che non funzionavano, ma alla fine ci sono riuscito”, ha detto alla Bbc.
I filtri tradizionali possono bloccare batteri che misurano 200 nanometri, ma non i virus, che sono lunghi appena 25 nanometri: la Life Saver Bottle, dice l’inventore, filtra qualsiasi cosa che sia più lunga di 15 nanometri.
