Crankable Water Purifiers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The SteriPen Sidewinder is a Hand-Powered Water Filter

— August 10, 2010 — Eco
The SteriPen Sidewinder may be the healthiest hand job you ever perform. This water purifier uses a simple hand crank to destroy harmful bacteria and germs.

The SteriPen Sidewinder is a battery-free purifier, which makes it great for residents of developing nations as well as outdoorsy men and women. The SteriPen Sidewinder can purify a lot of water at an incredibly fast speed, I'm talking one liter in 90 seconds. This purifier will be available in September for $99. I can hardly wait.
Trend Themes
1. Hand-powered Water Purifiers - There is an opportunity to innovate on the design and functionality of hand-powered water purifiers, catering to outdoor enthusiasts and individuals in developing nations.
2. Battery-free Technology - The trend towards developing battery-free technology could provide a disruptive innovation opportunity in multiple industries where the need for portable, eco-friendly and cost-effective devices is high.
3. Rapid Water Purification - There is a trend towards developing water purifiers that can quickly and efficiently purify large quantities of water, which could be a game-changer for industries like disaster relief, military, and camping.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Gear - The outdoor gear industry has an opportunity to expand their product lines to include hand-powered water purifiers that appeal to hikers, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts.
2. Environmental Sustainability - The environmental sustainability industry could benefit from battery-free water purifiers that help reduce the consumption of single-use plastic bottles while also addressing the issue of water scarcity.
3. Humanitarian Aid - Humanitarian aid can take advantage of rapid water purification technology, using it to provide clean drinking water to individuals living in disaster or conflict zones where access to clean water is limited.
