Slingshot Water Purifier 

"An innovation is one of those things that society looks at and says, if we make this part of the way we live and work, it will change the way we live and work"- Dean Kamen

 

Kamen's Goals for the Slingshot:

​

• last five years of operation without maintenance

• use less than a kilowatt of power (lower than the power consumption of a microwave oven)

• generate 1000 liters of pure water per day (enough for 100 people)

• meets the U.S. pharmacopoeia standard for water for injections

• requires no pre-treatment, pipelines, engineers, or filters
