Focusing on products similar to the, now forgotten for about the next 5 years, Bloom Box (remember how excited everyone was, for a couple of days) is more likely to bring the investment that is needed from cynical companies and governments. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[d0mth0ma5]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 19th 2010 6:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Inhabitat's Week in Green: lights, water, action]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/inhabitats-week-in-green-lights-water-action/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/inhabitats-week-in-green-lights-water-action/</guid><description><![CDATA[The water purifier thing .. it won't get used.

It's supposed to be small-scale, so you could purify water a liter at a time and power it with a handcrank.  Plenty of families in developing countries have access to water, but not clean, drinkable water.  Using this, they could get small amounts of water from rivers, oceans or greywater and purify it for drinking, potentially for free.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[zangetsu2]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 19th 2010 8:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Inhabitat's Week in Green: lights, water, action]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/inhabitats-week-in-green-lights-water-action/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/inhabitats-week-in-green-lights-water-action/</guid><description><![CDATA[@JS I think it would be used as well.

That water purification chip is amazing. I don’t think most people realize that 1 billion people don’t have access to clean water. We need to continue to strive to push the boundaries of technologies to and try and tackle these types of basic need “mega problems”. They say that this technology can be run off a solar cell. Even this part of the system would have been a huge problem just a few years ago because of how costly solar cells can be. I recently saw a video about how military scientists have just developed a cheap and flexible solar cell that is 10,000 times more efficient than the old standard! I’ll post a link to the video so you can check out this amazing breakthrough for yourself. It’s creativity and innovations like this that will keep our world moving forward in the right direction for years to come.<br><br><a href="http://www.ndep.us/Its-a-Small-World" rel="nofollow">http://www.ndep.us/Its-a-Small-World</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sanud002]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 20th 2010 4:34PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
