Hi tech "tea bags" to provide clean water in Africa
#204025 - 29/02/12 01:26 AM

Hi tech "tea bags" to provide clean water in Africa and elsewhere.

Quote:

While it may look like an ordinary tea bag, the small sachet could deliver clean water to hundreds of millions of people in Africa.

"They would go to a river; they would scoop up the water from the river. They would insert the filter in the bottle, in the special cartridge that we are busy prototyping, and they would drink the water. It is as simple as that," he said.

Sure works.

Now, how to get people to actually believe that the water is dirty, and that bacteria do exist...

Sorry mate, as simple as it is, this thing won't work. Not for the people it's supposed to help.

And if you don't believe me, just ask yourself if villagers who go and fetch water at the same exact spot where a big croc ate someone the day before would be bothered by things they can't see, like bacteria...!

Tell them it is mutti and the tea bags remove the black magic then.

Only joking.

I understand. On one of our member's stories he tells of sharing food with a Bedouin family. How the same bowl as previous used to water the camel, was used to serve the food.
