- 30,000 children die needlessly every day and over half of them could be saved if they had clean drinking water. See how prolific inventor Dean Kamen is tackling this problem with his water-purifying Slingshot.
This channel, A TOTAL DISRUPTION, has multiple series about innovators and entrepreneurs who are using technology to transform our lives. The channel is an invitation to participate in our up-coming documentary of the same name. A TOTAL DISRUPTION the feature will pull the camera up to look at this tectonic revolution and how it is transforming our lives, economy, and where we're headed from here through the eyes of the innovators heading this change.

Dean, You are a true Saint. To helping sourcing the world with clean water.
Dean Kamen is a HERO :)
Dean, the world needs more of you, and you need all the support you can get
Dean .. you are my hero!
God bless him !
FLINT FIRST!
What an awesome guy!!
Mr. Kamen is now one of my new heroes!
Where can the NGOs working in developing countries get these filters? In Guatemala we buy Sawyer water filters for individual use, which last 10 years... but they are not perfect - the water can still taste bad. Miracles In Action
WOW - God bless you ean Kamen !
So is Coca Cola going to start charging these people for the almost million dollar system like they charge us for the tap water they sell for 3 dollars a bottle?
I wonder if this technology could be scaled up? Providing millions of gallons to the masses at a cheaper cost than current water treatment tech?
So governments intervene in health care, but water purifiers could not be delivered to underdeveloped companies, but a profit making capitalist entity (CocaCola) were able to get the job done. They had the resources because they make (not get given) make large profits. Not to help the poor, but to be sustainable through voluntary trade. Sadly even this corporate giant has to appeal and "do deals" with government due to the nature of a mixed economy, not capitalist. But it's the capitalist elements that work.
People condemn capitalism whilst pointing at the failures of a mixed economy, arguing for more regulations, and demand that corporations have a duty to not put profit first.
Regulations designed to "protect" actually regulate by effect, who will die.
Governments redistribute from "the pie", whilst enterprise MAKES (creates) pies.
There are more Dean Kamens out there. We need to stop getting in their way.
Can anyone explain what the underlying technology is? Did the designer invent something new or is it a combination of technologies already in use?
I've heard about this years ago and we still aren't able to buy one. When will the average consumer be able to get one?
Hi Kevin,
From researching online it seems he had trouble finding partners, and so eventually partnered with Coca-cola to bring it to those most in need by 2015.
If you hear when it becomes available for the rest of us, let us know!

If he was able to get it to the $2k price point, I'd buy one!
Us too! LA water tastes terrible!
It is still early days in regard to this but over the next few years we will start to see this type of technology growing in use.
What is your reason out of curiosity in regards to this technology.
Clean drinking water is reason enough!
I remember seeing a video where Dean Kamen demonstrated this device. He got cleaning drinking water out of antifreeze.
Dean, I possibly have the source to power your invention...light, power, heat, the elemental basics for extraordinary talent ..to develop, why are we slow dancing with this?? Give a Call...I'm up @ 4am
Drink Coke save the world.
Ahhh capitalism at work, fucking beautiful
I wonder if this technology could be scaled up? Providing millions of gallons to the masses at a cheaper cost than current water treatment tech?
We certainly hope so!
+Lonnie W (Oneduality) That's a myth and junk science.
Ya, rain water is poison now. Right. Now do some THOROUGH research. If your data had any truth to it, I'd have limbs like an octopus by now and would have to crawl around like a snake to get around.
Fine. Go ahead and live out your life in fear of pure water while continuing to cling to your unproven belief system and preach your junk science. Seems Mother Nature made a terrible mistake and you're here to save mankind from.it Good luck with that. Cheers with a glass of distilled water to ya. :-)
If it's that bad, shouldn't we be seeing warning labels on jugs of distilled water? Like "Danger, will dissolve your bones if taken internally".Pffffft
