Aquaduct Bike Purifies Water As You Pedal

Posted by timothy on from the arrive-thirsty dept.

Mike writes "Winner of the '08 Innovate or Die competition sponsored by Google and Specialized, the Aquaduct is a pedal-powered concept vehicle that transports, filters, and stores water. The design has massive implications for communities where safe and secure sources of drinking water are not readily accessible."

    What about Beer?

    Have they come up with something that will take my beer pee and filter it into water?

    I live in Arizona and that would be a great thing to have in the desert.

    Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

      Umm, Bear Gryll's has assured me many times that it is OK to drink my pee, unfiltered.
