Wow--if this really works it will save a lot of lives in the coming chaos--if you get one now, it would be a smart thing!

This is the solution to numerous problems: toxic plastic bottles, shelf life, filtration and boiling of tap water, to name a few.

                number of consumers in search of ways to generate
                electricity at home. Element Four, based in Kelowna,
                B.C., Canada, is betting that with bottled-water
                consumption increasing and aging water distribution
                systems, water will be the next commodity consumers will
                want to produce at home. The company has done what it
                says is a top-to-bottom reinvention of the
                atmospheric-water generator—a device that pulls water
                from the air by cooling it to the point that
                condensation forms and then keeps it sterile for
                drinking.  </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://spectrum.ieee.org/nov08/6914">Element Four’s WaterMill is a 300‑watt generator that
                makes up to 12 liters of drinking water per day—enough,
                it says, for your typical North American household. At
                Kelowna’s rate of 6 U.S. cents per kilowatt-hour, the
                cost comes to about 3 to 4 cents per liter</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EF0D416B-2449-4E7A-AD69-A74E245DC03C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
