Nice. Tells me ALL the details I could ever want to know about this interesting device. NOT.

Throw us a link, physorg!

I found this: "Mr. Pritchard's bottle can clean up any water - including faecal matter - using a filter that cuts out anything longer than 15 nanometers, which means that viruses can be filtered out without the use of chemicals."

Most of the other sites around the world are simply parroting the same information. Unusual that such an important story got around with so little supporting information.

I had the exact same though upon reading this..."where's the beef"...

where's the editor...

So, how does it work and why does it cost $380? This story is only a teaser.

Dudes, lighten up.

Physorg got the story from UPI. Blame them if you want to blame anyone, for crying out loud.

Physorg at least integrates all this stuff so we don't have to search through mounds of news at other sites.

Not good enough ! I get lots of newsletters but not with this little skimpy information. Why bother to run a story like this? And yes I am lightened up already but not from dark news like this.

Try looking around FreeEngergynews.com some time. 50-90% of the stories are complete crackpots either trying to make a buck or pass off a hoax. (Lets face it, they collect stories about people claiming perpetual motion). The fun part is simply figuring out what trick was used or why the claim is bogus.

It'll drive ya nuts trying to figure out some of the crazier contraptions with the tiny snippets of information that most of the stories have.

Sorry Guest_Roger - I'm with the rest of them.

Physorg - if you're going to bombard me with all these bloody advertisements and make money off me browsing your site, at least have the courtesy to provide a valid link or two instead of just a half-baked teaser.

Generally, I love the breadth of content, but this is by far my biggest peeve about Physorg - fifty blinking, flashing, swirling adverts and a pittance of story in return.
