Probably the most famous hemophiliac (that you probably never heard of) is a young boy by the name of Ryan White. Google his name.

What Brinkers new technology means is that when a Pipe bursts or springs a leak, artificial platelets will be carried by the water and will get caught in the leak. Eventually this will stop or slow the flow of water from out side of the pipe.

Good idea though. ]]>Dec 21st 2006 11:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/21/brinker-hopes-to-bring-leak-fixing-artificial-platelets-to-water/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/21/brinker-hopes-to-bring-leak-fixing-artificial-platelets-to-water/Dec 22nd 2006 3:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/21/brinker-hopes-to-bring-leak-fixing-artificial-platelets-to-water/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/21/brinker-hopes-to-bring-leak-fixing-artificial-platelets-to-water/Dec 22nd 2006 8:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/21/brinker-hopes-to-bring-leak-fixing-artificial-platelets-to-water/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/21/brinker-hopes-to-bring-leak-fixing-artificial-platelets-to-water/Dec 22nd 2006 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/21/brinker-hopes-to-bring-leak-fixing-artificial-platelets-to-water/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/21/brinker-hopes-to-bring-leak-fixing-artificial-platelets-to-water/
But you could always institute a recirculating filter at the end of any line, so that the platelets would be pulled back out of the system and the water filtered before it gets to any end user.]]>Dec 22nd 2006 10:40AM
