Floating capsule auto-disinfects water without chemicals or battery
Reported byNew Atlas ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
An international team at Yonsei University in Seoul has created a portable water purifier that disinfects one liter of water in 20 minutes by generating power from a three-second shake, then using electrostatic charge from floating motion to kill microbes, with an estimated production cost under $25.
Device is in research phase; real-world deployment in emergency situations remains to be demonstrated.
