Take the bottom piece of the can and start to ruffle the perimeter of the can with your thumb. (Figure 10.) You don’t want creases, just ruffles.

LifeSaver bottle. The Lifesaver bottle is a portable water purification device. The bottle filters out objects larger than 15 nanometres. Development[edit] After the 2004 Asian Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina disaster in the U.S., Michael Pritchard, a water-treatment expert in Ipswich, England[1] began to develop the Lifesaver bottle after hearing the idea from Dr.
Zackary Kepes and Austin Castellano.[2][3] Pritchard presented a prototype of the Lifesaver at 2007's DSEi London, where the product was named "Best Technological Development".[2][4] Pritchard's entire stock of 1,000 bottles sold out within four hours of the presentation.[3] Independent test results[edit] In 2007, the LifeSaver bottle was tested by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and the results found it to completely filter out all bacteria and viruses.[6] Use[edit] "For $20 billion everyone can have access to safe drinking water. To filter the water, one puts contaminated water in the back of the bottle, then screws the lid on. Life Raft Makes Its Own Drinking Water (5 pics) Imagine this: Your ship is sinking. You abandon ship with nothing but the clothes on your back, and you're thirsty, really thirsty. Lucky for you, you've arrived on-board the SeaKettle, a life raft that has the ability to desalinate salt water...
The process starts by pumping sea water up to a Gortex covered reservoir, where the water is subject to evaporation. The evaporated water then hits the top canopy and condenses, filling the four pockets around the raft with fresh drinking water. The Gortex cover over the reservoir allows the vapor molecules to escape, but holds in the larger liquid molecules, preventing the pockets of fresh water from becoming contaminated by the sea water. This produces enough water for up to five passengers to stay sufficiently hydrated. Designer Kim Hoffman got the inspiration for this project from the many stories of people suffering from extreme dehydration or death while being stranded in a life raft at sea. Via James Dyson Award.
