Life Saver Bottle

whoa where the fuck do i get one of those?
i have bottles of water put away in case of emergency

here is the US site http://www.lifesaverusa.com/ you can get one from. This is honestly one of the better ideas I have seen. I'm honestly going to pick one up something will happen one day and this is the best idea I think I have seen.

this thing is intense

great invention, awesome. 600L in a little 2L (i think) bottom like that... 300 times! wow

EDIT: 6000L, that's like freaking 3000 times!!! (thanks Graeme S)

and then that Jerry can has a capacity of

Liters.

Not six hundred, man, six THOUSAND. Wish my granddad could've had one of these; his liver took a beating once when he was hiking and got beaver fever (infection due to animal urine in his drinking water--he thought it was a clean stream).

It's kinda expensive but a real lifesaver during disasters. I wonder how long is the shelf life of this bottle for the occasional hiker. The water bottle companies are not thrilled about this

poor him, anyways this invention is great. wait till they get these in china where the water is undrinkable

whoa dope

rs group buy

great for emergencies and great to take backpacking into the bush.

So what's the coles note for this?

Put crap into it, pump the thing a few times, get purified clean water?

put urine in there and see if this thing will sterilize that?

hahaha

nevertheless, great invention

pretty much!

awesome!

RS sponsor? :D:D

That's really amazing... Lol @ rs group buy

IF there was a group buy, count me in!

they should promote this like that $100 laptop... buy 2 and one gets donated..

so it's a super filter...filters out things at 25nm and bigger
there's a lot that u can't filter out though and can be dangerous to human health
like alcohol..ethers....acids..amides..hydrocarbons..an ything at the molecular level

it just seems like a super particulate filter which is good for short term water use but who knows what harm prolonged use can do

Prices start at $149.99.

How the hell are people in Haiti going to afford these? :p

You can drink your urine. It's perfectly healthy. ;)

+1
im in

it's 15nm

so if you have a flood you can't use this anyway

why? well think of the engine oil and gasoline that's going to mix into the water from flooded cars.

this idea doesn't work for emergencies. It does work for places suffering from unclean underground water which a filter is all it needs.

mmmm TED speakers are always so interesting. but yea pretty damn good invention, convenient as fuck too if u ever do any traveling to remote places
