Michael Pritchard’s water filter turns filthy water drinkable

Ok this may sound weird but I was just trying some new software on my mac mini that will turn it into a media center and I installed the TED viewer and just happened to stumble across this video.

I am ever so impressed with this and would love to try one out to see how well it works ( and yes I will go to a swamp or something and actually drink the water from it, video tape the entire thing and post it here )

This device could simply erase the problem with non drinkable water around the world.

I am planning a trip to Thailand and Burma at the end of September and I would love to be able to bring a few of these with me on my mission trip (one for me to use and few extra to leave with the children that I will be meeting). I haven’t budgeted for something like this for this trip and if anyone is so moved to help either by sending a monetary gift or purchase directly and have delivered, I would be extremely grateful.

If donations don’t come through in time, there is another trip that is being planned in February/March time frame (one that I will not be going on but I could get a few people to take these with them) As well I do have a contact that lives in Thailand that makes regular trips into Burma and the surrounding area that I could send these to him and he could distribute.
