That's the LifeStraw, created by Vestergaard Frandsen [http://www.vestergaard-frandsen.com/lifestraw.htm].
Pur's flocculant powder [http://www.purpurifierofwater.com/] is a better solution, particularly for water that's full of particulate contaminants. Kills everything, removes pollutants, and makes the water clear.
The LifeStraw's great virtue is its minimal cost per gallon over the lifetime of the unit.

Is there an "Outside my limited knowledge of Joss Whedon's oeuvre" mod?
That'd be cool.
Or maybe I need a blow to the head, I'm never sure.

I'll be happy when the middle-men are completely done away with and first-run shows are produced with no need for networks. We're already seeing quirky comedies doing well on Youtube but those are extremely low-budget. It'll take some bucks to put together something like Firefly on a fan-funded basis.
The hammer is my penis.
UK's Loughborough Uni Demos Hydrogen Motorcycle 121
rolandw writes "The Beeb have a piece about Loughborough University's hydrogen motorcycle and one of the UK's first hydrogen fuel pumps (presumably all developed by their excellent Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering department). Offering 50mph, the ENV will have a range of 100 miles on a 3-minute refill of hydrogen. By-products are warm air and 'drinkable' water. It will be interesting to compare these hydrogen powered vehicles with the hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicles as pioneered by such as the Morgan prototype 'Lifecar' in the near future."
