The Low Down

Kamen: They're in very different stages of development right now. (The Slingshot) takes any water, whether it's from the ocean or from toxic chemicals. No matter what's wrong with the water, we'll clean it up and make it potable, pure water.The energy source is very environmentally friendly. Many of its big advantages include not needing extra maintenance or a power grid. It'll burn any fuel. We ran for 24 weeks two units in two separate villages in Bangladesh, and the only fuel that went into them was cow dung sitting in a pit next to them, going through a natural decomposition process. Yet they ran perfectly and gave these villages electricity.We have more prototypes and data on electricity generation projects than on water, but for lots of reasons, the urgency around getting some water machines out has been more of our focus. We're further along and hope to be able to introduce water sooner than generation.

This guy is hitting up some cool subjects.

Off grid electrical sources already tested on cow dung, appears humorous but it's a big deal. You could generate power from waste and who knows what else, the usability is very impressive. I'm reminded of a Dolorian.

The work on water cleaning is also very excellent. I don't know that plans have been utterly worked out and what is needed from this product to handle what they've projected they are going for so it appears this planning is needed. To what end is the product being developed and by excetion of what planning. Planning omission aside, bodes well I'd say.
