Hydrogen + Oxygen + Pedals = Winner!

I like bicycles, and I like smart people. So I'm loving this new invention, courtesy of the "Innovate or Die" campaign.

It addresses a huge problem in developing countries: access to safe drinking water. It relies solely on pedal power. And it combines the task of transporting water with the chore of purifying it.



Okay, I guess it's technically a tricycle. But still, it's a great idea that addresses a fundamental need.

Congratulations to the winning team. It would be great to see someone step up and buy a few thousand of these to donate, just to get things started. I'm guessing this invention is a little more expensive than malaria netting.
