Dean Kamen, engineer and inventor of the Segway, has a solution for the estimated 1.1 billion people worldwide who don't have access to clean drinking water.
"Eighty percent of all the diseases you could name would be wiped out if you just gave people clean water," says Kamen. "The water purifier makes 1,000 liters of clean water a day, and we don't care what goes into it. And the power generator makes a kilowatt off of anything that burns."
His other generator invention mentioned would also work well in poor countries run by burning cow dung.
